here’s the thing: this is as good and realistic as the actual idea. and it’s maybe less insulting to the actual citizenry than “what if we forced the current vice president into a battle royale to dodge questions about her administration’s execrable gaza policy asked by taylor swift?”

Democratic insiders and donors have lost their minds

this pic of a berlin mural by @rob-sheridan.com absolutely deserves its own post because fuck your borders.

Pics from a golden hour walk through Teufelsberg in Berlin, the remains of a former Cold War listening station now reclaimed by nature and art, with street artists from around the world turning every surface inside and out into their canvas. 17 photos: www.tumblr.com/robsheridan/...

the convention they’re imagining

every day there’s a new worst idea i’ve heard, but i need to find the 2% gallon* of white guys behind this & hold each of their heads one by one in a row of highway rest area toilets. taylor swift is so silly you almost skip over oprah, who brought us dr oz, dr phil, & jd vance’s hillbilly elegy!

never underestimate the power good stories have to make almost any audience member look at almost any character, think “they’re just like me fr,” and leave changed.

Queerness is so porous and hard to define sometimes that letting the cishets see themselves in our stories might help them open some doors in their own brains. After all, we've been reading ourselves into their narratives for centuries! The cisgendered heterosexuals may as well return the favor!

All it took was one gatekeep-y Letterboxd comment saying I Saw the TV Glow can ONLY be read as a trans narrative for me to complete a heel turn and say that, NO, IT IS ABOUT WHEN YOU LOVE A TV SHOW JUST THAT MUCH.

i’m watching midnight run for the first time and i know dennis farina was a literal cop and based on the little i know about him probably a sack of shit irl but damn that man never appeared in a single thing where i didn’t react like, “yay! this just got so much better!”

I've said it before but it bears repeating. If Fred Hampton could swallow working with white Southern labor blocs who still sometimes held backwards ideas about race, the rest of us Yankees can sure as Hell suck it up and reach out to create ties with Southern organizers.

i’ve always had almost exclusively women as friends & have heard notes on the surprising cantaloupe taste inside Sunglasses Guy’s foreskin & milking the prostate of Ricky Big Hands, but it was always my one random dude friend who made “i got some trim” the most quease-inducing statement of my week.

its always been fascinating to me how straight men will often talk about their sexual encounters with hugely less detail than women but still somehow manage to be weirder and grosser and more offensive about it

you know, it’s been six months since the guy with the gun made it clear i was not gonna use that particular women’s room and it seems logically like every time i use it should feel like a big fuck you victory, but it doesn’t, and that kinda sucks.

the intern sleeps tonite (and has, after nine years in the training program, taken to politely crossing her hands like the boss. if you need me, i will be in the fetal position from being crippled by cute.)

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

folks, we’re close to the end of season two and sameen shaw has arrived on the scene to: • kick jim caviezel out of 90% of the episode • renew my desire to be 6” shorter • and also maybe a murderer

okay, okay, fine. corinne has never seen it, so we are now rewatching person of interest because the overarching story is legit and only more and more relevant, but i’m not wrong: caviezel makes wentworth miller look like he’s got a truly dynamic delivery range.

having the best possible time on a saturday night for a fortysomething (just discovered the cache of bluey mini-episodes which i didn’t know existed and haven’t seen)

Wait i have something for this

“yeah, no, i’m not gonna call anyone ‘they’ because singular they isn’t a thing & i don’t give a fuck about placating these people—which you’d already know if you’d paid attention to the fact that i’m a gamma male.” “i’m a sagittarius, leo rising, scorpio moon, and—“ “I ALSO DON’T LISTEN TO WOMEN”

Guy who complains about using correct pronouns but wants everyone to know the 120 square grid of which kind of guy you are so you can use it appropriately

inflation findom is the hot new kink that’s especially hot for how helpless you feel when every retailer, loan servicer, & landlord calls you a pathetic worm and tells you your dollars no longer get all the way hard. “you probably like it when your standard of living is just out of reach, worm.”

i hear a whole lot of talk about how people aren't actually doing any better economically under the biden administration, but there's one group who has undoubtedly and indisputably benefited massively during the last four years: inflation fetishists

corinne tried creating a very special episode of Wall for river today but her reaction was kinda like using AI to drop some game of thrones nudity into a rerun of the brady bunch. very “this is not really why i watch and you’re maybe ruining it.”

will you be watching the hottest prestige tv this year? river is & she’s riveted. this one is called Wall. she’s been watching several times a day for 4 years & though i’ve sat with her for whole episodes more than once, we’re past twin peaks: the return on the “what the fuck are we doing?” meter.

she seemed to like being shaved because she could feel being pet better? and maybe because she was so vain that bathing her full coat was an all day task? but it’s worth mentioning that, unshorn, alexandra looked a lot like a corrupt banker melting in the cayman sun. don’t tell her i said that.
