PRIEST: Oh no!

ME: What?

PRIEST: Someone broke into my office and took my vestments and my German fruit bread!

ME: You mean—

PRIEST: Yep—

BOTH: STOLEN STOLE AND STOLLEN

Her private life: multiple marriages (sometimes to the same man!), a romance with a mobster, an escape from a mental hospital. I didn't even mention the kidnapping!

I'm happy to announce Marie is the subject of my upcoming bio for the Univ Press of KY. #classichollywood #nonfiction #writer

October 21, 1965: Marie McDonald dies at the age of 42. The model, singer, and actress (dubbed "The Body" for her killer physique) starred opposite Gene Kelly and Jerry Lewis, sang with Tommy Dorsey, and posed for YANK Magazine.

This is not only amazingly racist but deeply anti-Christian. Fuck this shit.

Just to be absolutely clear:

The President of the United States has absolutely no power to “take away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person.

And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

She's here! TOO FAST, TOO SHORT: The Life of Diana Barrymore is my hardest and most moving work to date, and I hope it makes you think a little differently about the woman once called the Princess of Theatre's Royal Family.

A white woman hurled the N-word at a 5-year-old Black boy. She didn’t apologize—she cashed in. Over $700K raised on GiveSendGo. This isn’t free speech. It’s hate for profit. America’s sickness isn’t just moral—it’s monetized.

Rest Well, Pope Francis and thank you

You are royalty, my good man. My God, MOMMIE DEAREST alone!

Must be exciting for our military officers to learn that they may be going to war against NATO (Canada, Denmark) while helping Russia take Ukraine. Exactly what they signed up for!

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Part of the lesson here is that Trumpists, like many bullies, don’t handle it well if you stand up to them rather than caving. If Trump or Vance or their supporters had any character this petulant display and Zelenskyy’s defiance would be humiliating to them.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

"Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better."

My god, he went full Bette Davis.

It's a great movie!

"There was also no opposition." Holy shit, read a book.

The air of insanity about all of this is starting to get to me.

You were taught that educated, single, child-free women are unwanted and pathetic because a woman who is unmanageable through attachment and enraged at the exploitation all around her is a very dangerous thing to an institution that needs to manage and exploit her in order to survive.

Do Something Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of . . . whatever we call this now.

DEI is when a woman or non-white person who is qualified for a job receives that job. The meritocracy is when a 19 year old gets to run the United States government because he posted the dankest memes

I've read a lot of advice re: the current hellscape and yours resonated the most with me. Thank you. ♥

Remember on this day that, canonically, George Bailey’s re-discovery of the value of his life takes place at the same time as the failed hit attempt on Vito Corleone.
