@thesarahyork I picture him blubbering behind a carton of oat milk while suburban moms yell at him for spelling her name "Mariska" instead of "Marissa.".

So I woke up with something that's literally Black Hairy Tongue. People, including my doctor, seem to think it's no big deal, and will go away soon, but it certainly is gross.

@chrissyteigen It's ridiculous how people take the lack of insane flag waving as lack of enthusiasm rather than an urge to not look like a bunch of authoritarian nutsos.

@amandamull @Balldon64307120 Years ago I was sobbing in Union Square for ludicrous reasons that felt world-ending at the time, and a young man in a sensible suit stopped and asked if I was ok. I mumble-nodded-shook my head, so he just stood there until I'd pulled myself together, then nodded and walked off.

@AndyRichter I like to think I'd put up a fight, but no, I'd just sit there, miserable in my window seat, wishing for the sweet respite of death.

@jeanpierreload @littlelostsunny I tried to watch Hocus Pocus the other week because it’s such a beloved movie of the millennials. I literally could not expose my eyeballs to it for more than 15 minutes. Turn on Goonies, tho. .

@DeborahKennet @JeBirdTweets @udbc2020 @PattyArquette But it’s not all hidden away though. That’s the problem. He is a racist misogynist who disrespects every contract he’s ever had, ruins lives for sport, has never had empathy and is now plagued with (at least) dementia. It’s all out there in the wide open. That’s why we’re fucked.

Was biking down the rail trail and this woman yelled at me (well, at everyone), “You’re ruining a beautiful day, take off your mask!!”. To which I replied, with all the eloquence I could muster, “FUCK YOU!”. Not my finest hour. But, you know, fuck her.

@anamariecox I was sobbing in Union Square by the Gandhi statue. A young man stopped and asked if I was OK. I sort of nod/shook at him. He stood beside me without saying a word until I was calmed. Then he walked away.

I know this site is just a whirlpool of despair at this point, and you've all probably seen this already, but anger is so important right now.

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating: if you haven’t yet watched @RezDogsFXonHulu, absolutely do. We finished several days ago and I can’t get it out of my head. Extraordinary TV. Hilarious, strange, and so, so moving.

@tonyposnanski Remember that it is a reverse Breaking Bad narrative. A family goes from the absolute worst to loving and supportive. Also, if it helps, Chris Elliott becomes a much, much more minor character.

@queerBengali I would argue that COVID does kill some of the right people. The anti-vaxxers/maskers are dying in legions. But yes. It’s a real shame about Kavanaugh.

@BryanforHD2 What the HELL is wrong with you?!! 19 children were murdered, you're electric grid is destined to fail this summer, white nationalists are overwhelming the state, but drag reading hours ruin our kids? If you didn't have the power to cause such damage I'd feel sorry for you.

@laurenthehough I was crying earlier today for you and Teddy, and for all of the beloved canines your trials have put us in mind of. I don’t much buy into blessings, but a good death is one I do believe in. I hope you’re able to take solace and rest in it.

I get annoyed by people smugly telling me not to panic. I have every reason to panic. If there is one thing we have learned in the last five years, it is that political and legal norms are absolutely disposable.

My brother just warned me that I should be prepared to go down to TX to help take care of my dad. Which I'm happy to do, but breaks my heart. Dementia can kiss my ass. Why does it get all the most brilliant people?.

@rgay Fuck the everliving fuck out of those fucking fucks, is what I have to say to that. I got $8/hr from a big deal novelist to care for his kids and make them all dinner back in the mid-nineties, and it was highway robbery then. Who the fuck do they think is gonna answer this call?.

@JeBirdTweets @DeborahKennet @udbc2020 @PattyArquette I mean, this is true, let's not mince words. However, I'll also say that, in addition to being largely uneducated, these people also have no problem with any of this. Authoritarianism has its charms for these people.

A guy on Words With Friends just asked “why are you snubbing me?” when I didn’t respond to his random come-on. On Words With Friends. This is, btw, not an uncommon occurrence. In case you need a lesson in what being a woman in the world is like.

How come Ivanka doesn’t understand imposter syndrome?.
Ivanka Trump appears to be trying to get involved in a talk among Macron, May, Trudeau and Lagarde (IMF head). The video is released by French Presidential palace.

Julie & Julia was published 16 YEARS AGO. The movie, with which I had nothing to do, came out 12 YEARS AGO. It’d be nice if every single story about Julia Child didn’t include a mention of how annoying I/Amy Adams are. The nation is falling apart!. (Cue world’s tiniest violin.).

Fucking horrific. Getting their last gasp in.
96% of the people arrested by the NYPD for marijuana in 2020 were BIPOC. How are you gonna say the police isn't a white supremacist organization? Weed is almost legal so this is their last chance to "get" us. They're not even hiding it anymore.

@laurenthehough I had a theater group just after college and one of our productions was 7 Blowjobs by Mac Wellman, which was all about censorship. One lady got SO MAD she had to explain blowjobs to her 7-year-old because of our sign on a warehouse door.

Marc Siegel, who will be “examining” Trump tonight on live TV, used to be my doctor. He’s a frequent guest on Fox, covering such medical issues as whether Deep Horizon was Obama’s Katrina. It makes me feel so dirty.

@AngryBlackLady Mostly unrelated, but when we travelled to NZ, my mom asked our innkeeper where we could eat, and he recommended a nearby place with a "great big dick." Decades later, the expression on her face still makes me laugh.

I’ve told my mother, and now I’ll tell you: I’m going into rehab. checking in on the 10th. I’ll be out of touch via any electronic/telephonic means. If you’d like to write me a letter, I’ll send you the address. From now until the 10th I’ll be here and probably drunk.

What the mother fucking loving fuck shit is this?.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is launching a class for private citizens on how to arrest undocumented immigrants. The course will train *non-agents in firearms* and how to make “targeted arrests.”.
