It's the blues that strike my eye, contrasting with the warm colors. I'm so much more familiar with our muted, somber blues.

I've stood on that beach, beholding that view many times. But I've never seen colors like those.

How many MAGAs does it take to change a light bulb?

None. Trump just says that it's fixed, and they sit in the dark and applaud.

Sex in every episode is something that tends to steer me AWAY from a show. If I want sex scenes, I'll stream some porn, thank you very much.
To each their own, I guess. But Randolph is making a sweepingly stupid statement.

As a huge Carl Sagan fan, I love astrology.

If a member of your family in the US military gets killed in Iran soon, you can console yourself by knowing that they died to distract from their Commander-in-Chief's pedophilia.

I probably should have stuck "relatively" in there somewhere. And my appreciation is definitely an American - and therefore inevitably murky - interpretation.
I always think of this and smile

Thanks! I'm so sick of making this argument when "bitch" etc are used to slam a woman. And get tons of pushback from lefty men (and a few women) for it, too.
Won't make me stop making the argument from time to time.
That said, I have a strange fondness for the non-gendered British use of "cunt." πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Could just be my typically Pollyanna take on things, but I interpreted that "promoting" as giving him more power to take action, not promotion-as-prestige.

She's embarrassingly screechy.
But I suspec that she created a big huffy response in order to draw media attention away from...what? so many choices...
Not that her huffy mean girl act doesn't deserve all the ridicule we can heap on it. But it can't (and won't) be our only focus.

I've thought about it. I think Dedra is marginally more likeable, on the spectrum of despicable fascists. She at least is more professional, in her despicable way.
And she's not a snotty mean girl. Bondi's actions in office are appalling, a betrayal. Her performance today was gobsmackingly awful.

Yeah, I caught snippets while at work today, and listened to lawyers and politics-nerds talk about it this afternoon. What a shit show. What a completely unprofessional, entitled creep she is!

That's exactly what I would have posted if you hadn't shouldered the task 😊

We did too. She won't be telling the truth, and as you said, there will be highlights - and analysis - later, which will be more interesting and useful.
But I haven't even finished my coffee yet (west coast), and her b.s. is no way to start my morning.

It’s not like the Olympian called our military suckers and losers or something.

I really hope Trump doesn't see that story about Olympic ski jumpers allegedly cheating with penis injections.

The last thing we need is him doing a 3am rant on Truth Social about stolen erections.

The Horrifying Testimony of Aaliya Rahman
YouTube video by Qasim Rashid The Horrifying Testimony of Aaliya Rahman

Every single person needs to listen to the testimony of Aaliya Rahman, a disabled woman whom ICE dragged from her car, tortured, and nearly killed.

This is fascism, and it is critical we stand united to stop it. Abolish ICE and prosecute its perpetrators. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrDJ...

So, we get Lupita Nyong’o as Helen, the white supremacists get to get see the Melania movie.

Seems like a fair trade to me. :)

We're not the only ones to have this thought cross our minds.

I think many of them don't really have all that good of a thing to go home to. Be an asshole in life and either you create that same bullshit at home, or the people in your life cold shoulder you because you're an asshole.

Going forward, barring super specific circumstances, I'm retiring the term "white supremacy" to describe Trump & his sycophantsβ€”because there's nothing "supreme" about them.

Instead, I'll use the term "white narcissism," because they arrogantly and falsely think their skin color makes them better.

Prismacolors are good, and you can find them in different kinds of sets. They're easy to work with, not incredibly expensive (though not cheap), and are soft enough to get different kinds of effects. They go down on paper smoothly too. I worked with them as an artist for about 35 years.
