I don't consider any human being, artists included, to be a perfect angel, nor do I require it. But I won't boost, support, or otherwise recommend an abuser. Time to figure out a new favorite author and book.

I want to know who can’t get behind a platform that says 8PM is too late for plans. It was a viral thing online months before Biden said it!

This was me in Minnesota two weeks ago. A great time except anytime we were outside. "What do they eat when they can't get Hobbit?", I kept thinking.

I am hoping it wakes people up that something as simple as sex, including whom you choose to have it with, has been made incredibly, incredibly dangerous. It certainly has where I live, in Iowa.

Iowa Gov Reynolds literally said kids were too fat anyway and rolled out a mere shadow of the plan that was freely available. I don’t understand how anyone can support the cruelty. But they do.

Another Twilight Zone banger: Sam: I thought if a man lived forever, he'd grow wiser. But that isn't true, is it? Walter: You just go on living. That’s all.

Yup. And ankle socks and no shows are somehow ghastly, despite being morally correct.

I can understand this while also feeling the shame absolutely radiate through my phone, as it should. I still like Sherlock even though I know it’s cringey.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of NG, currently on hold but I don't see how a good reading from ANY of this comes out, and my favorite book will change. I can't in good conscience recommend or elevate something from a source that is knowingly and willingly causing harm to others.

Also, he could have very easily just said, "I am aware of it and it does not reflect my platform." Instead it's "This is news to me!"

Mark Twain hated the Fourth of July. He was often invited to speak at Independence Day festivities. His audiences assumed that his reliably unpatriotic remarks were tongue-in-cheek jests. But he meant that shit. 1/9

Allowing that home prices and higher ed are a problem, I feel like a fair amount of people simply cannot believe a Democrat could preside over a strong economy. That even if it’s good, it would have been better under the GOP.

The enabling by national media and a disinterested public plus the “all in” strategy ever since Trump’s cured the non in 2016, it’s all the same single push.

I remain most gobsmacked not by the extreme power grab, but that it's all attached to the most crude and awful carnival barker we've seen in a long time. Just an obvious fraud, and SUPREME COURT JUSTICES are on his side.

Reading about a Scandinavian sheets test and 4 out of 5 couples that tried it shared a Queen bed. I cannot get past that. Couples sleeping together, for the love of god, you need a KING.

All of Lower Decks season one is up for free on the P+ YouTube for a limited time (USA).

A great way to intro a friend to the Cerritos!
