Slurs are like tribbles.

I’ll check this out if I can. But one thing I DON’T like is when people dismiss what’s happening now by saying, well, you must have forgotten a thing in history that was bad. Let’s not contextualize the present out of significance. This is the worst time in my lifetime.

Justice Department publishes documents with sexual assault allegations against Trump The department shared FBI documents outlining allegations involving Trump.

"The woman’s central allegation, according to FBI summaries of her interviews with investigators, known as FBI 302s, is that Trump hit her after she bit his penis when he attempted to force her to perform oral sex."

There’s no way we’re paying to fix anything. Those are empty words.

And don't forget unaccountability.

AI?

Let's see what rationale they have for supporting Mullin, who has literally never done anything.

The Death of Stalin is so weird because it feels comedic but I looked up the background info and it is close to the reality and is actually very dark.

This is good. I'm really glad he did NOT just name four so-called classics out of the film-studies canon. That would be boring. This was interesting, and I have a couple of movies to look up.

A favorite films list: Dr. Stragelove, The Double Life of Véronique, Lone Star, and Do the Right Thing.

Kubrick, Kieslowski, John Sayles, Spike Lee.

Just out of frame: Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

If I have to pick one, I think it's Sayles, for the number of times he has made brilliant movies his own way, also including Matewan, Men With Guns, and Brother From Another Planet.

I downloaded the first four episodes to watch on a plane, and I was in tears a couple times, honestly. What you say is really true.

YOU ASKED FOR THIS!

Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:

"The woman claimed to agents that Epstein introduced her to Trump, and that she claimed Trump had assaulted her in an encounter when she was 13 in 1983."

"The files include FBI memos documenting four separate interviews with an unidentified woman in 2019 who alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein and Trump when she was a minor in the 1980s."

DoJ publishes ‘missing’ Epstein files including Trump claims The White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt described claims from FBI interviews about an alleged assault involving Trump and Epstein as ‘baseless’

Here's an article from the Times of London dated Friday. It's the only one I found via Google.

I think it's funny that Billy Joel thinks that anybody thinks he started the fire.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Thank you for saying this! I post this all the time — the Christianization of our government is anti-semitic.

It can only good happen.

My apologies too. I’m not triggered by you. I’m just triggered by the times we live in.

I've had many positive exchanges with you online. This seems like one of those times when an online argument between people who don't really disagree goes off the rails.

I'm just not focused on it. Schumer & Jefferies are the whales and they're also in my neighboring city, so if I have any agency it's in connection with them. Platner is a guppy who is far away and I have no agency in Maine. I am really mad at Schumer and Jefferies, as well as every Dem who spams me.

Ew, and thank you.

Obviously it's great to have Noem gone, but my husband sent me a social media post from the bad site in which someone characterized firing Noem and replacing her with Markwayne Mullin as being like shitting your pants and running home to change your shirt, and I can't stop laughing at the accuracy.

That's funny. I'm so demoralized by the leadership that they are my main problem.

That reminds me, when I was a kid we went to the county fair and a cow licked the top of my head. The hair stood up for several days. Literally a cowlick.

I wish you were running things instead of him.

I shook the governor of Oregon's hand with a yo-yo in my hand.
