honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

America rushing into an ill-advised Middle Eastern war without a coherent justification or plan feels like an auspicious sign for the team with Haliburton.

Couldn't attend my cousin's wedding because of my cold, so I watched the livestream, which meant I could shout "I believe in you!" before he stepped on the glass. Unlike me, he broke it in one try.

Remembering the great Billy Wilder on his birthday. Le Monde titled its front-page obituary for Wilder, who died at 95 in 2002, “Billy Wilder dies. Nobody’s perfect.”

If you can understand it’s not antisemitism that would drive people to hate Harvey Weinstein, then you’re capable of understanding it’s not antisemitism that drives people to hate Netanyahu. Now don’t let bogus antisemitism talking points let you rank Cuomo, who aided both Weinstein and Netanyahu.

Pretty amazing that a former president will sit quietly as one of his successors orders US troops into American cities and ships innocent people off to concentration camps—but feels compelled to speak up when a fellow HR nightmare is at risk of losing to another member of the same party.

Donald Trump is an extremely stupid man with very few real policy preferences who has simply done what mainstream conservatives have wanted 80-90% of the time since he has entered politics. They have wanted to bomb Iran. He bombed Iran. Pretty straightforward.

It’s tough because I largely agree with people saying we should have a better balance on here between politics and other things but then the President declares war or a bunch of people get kidnapped and it feels a little silly to finish typing out “what’s your favorite Futurama episode”
