I'm a politics junkie, so I was watched the electoral college ceremony when the insurrection started. It was incredible. I don't have to words to describe it, but I kept thinking about the police gassing protestors and forcing them back so Hair Furor could walk to a nearby church for a ridiculous photo op. Now there's hundreds of crazed MAGAts ( Read more... )

I recently read an essay defending P.G. Wodehouse’s Antisemitism, Wodehouse’s Antisemitism In Context by Elliot MiIlstein. It was reprinted in Plumtopia, a blog devoted to Wodehouse. It infuriated me. (Disclaimer: I’m not Jewish, however my spouse is.)

The essay is in response to a Forward article about Wodehouse, “How Lovely P.G. Wodehouse Was - ( Read more... )

I've been distracting myself by watching all of the impeachment hearings...

And it sucks. I binge-watched a bunch of episodes and I think I’m on the season finale. It really sucks.

Wait, what? The guy in the shopping mall said “there’s an urgent care center here” and now Radiation Lady is saying there’s an urgent care center a few miles away? Oops, misheard. Can Radiation Lady just die?

This morning my anxiety was so bad I actually took a Klonopin. I haven't in months. But I simply can't stand what's happening to our government. Neither can anyone else. When the fuck did we finally become a monarchy? A week or so ago, a guest on an MSNBC show said, "This is not Sparta! He's not the Queen ( Read more... )

I'm writing this as more explosive devices are being found sent to critics of Hair Fuhrer. I have nothing to say. I am sickened, sad and angry. I'm a New Yorker, and I'm proud of our law enforcement. My heart goes out to the postal workers, who must be more traumatized than anyone else ( Read more... )

Last night we attended a fundraiser at a local Democratic club. In tears, a woman talked to us about sorting donations for the children in prison at the border. There was a solid wall of diapers, and children’s clothes from 1 mo. to 5 years. Babies, goddamn it! As well as older children up to 13 years. There has been a ton of donated children’s ( Read more... )

I am so pissed about Carl dying I want to shriek from the rooftops. I didn't watch the episode, I followed on live chat. I knew I wouldn't be able to take it. It's DVR'd. I loved Carl and this gratuitous death crap gets to me, in part because the relentless nihilism is just too fucking much. We already had devastated!Rick when Lori died, then again ( Read more... )
