This and Kate McKinnon doing Rudy Giuliani are some of my favorite impersonations from SNL.

Sean Spicer Press Conference (Melissa McCarthy) - SNL
YouTube video by Saturday Night Live Sean Spicer Press Conference (Melissa McCarthy) - SNL

Melissa McCarthy just hosted SNL and when she came out to do her monologue, I realized I cannot look at her without seeing Sean Spicer, or at least, her Sean Spicer. That impression will forever be stuck in my head.

Here's a reminder of her brilliance from back then.

Oof, they don't look well at all. I think they may have caught a nasty dose of MALF — Mar a Lago Face.

Love that. I always try to have at least some home baked goods on hand for surprise visitors. Our world is becoming so atomized, it's good to have some resistance to that trend in the form of good old fashioned hospitality.

I'm amazed and a bit saddened at the number of people with a strong 'no' as their answer. Before phones, this is just how you saw friends. You'd knock on the door.

The Grizzly Bear is huge and wild;
He has devoured the infant child.
The infant child is not aware
It has been eaten by the bear.

Yes, and as soon as she indicates she's not interested he calls her a "Karen." It's like when men catcall random women on the street and then start screaming that's she's ugly when he doesn't get the response he wanted. Loser creepozoid.

Now seems like a good time to reshare this meme.

Some good news, for a change!

So many music and art venues in the Mission closed during the Google bus era when the techie influx resulted in an eviction crisis that drove many people, including a lot of artists, to the East Bay or beyond. I would love to see an arts renaissance in the Mission.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

I am hoping for a long line of architects getting hired and then fired again and this ballroom monstrosity never getting built. 🤞

The problem is, they may not start off in the 1% but so many get super rich while holding public office. We need stronger anti-corruption laws for politicians.

Like Halle Berry, I'm glad he's not going to be our governor for much longer. Could Aaron Sorkin please cast him as president in some political drama next? Cos he definitely should not be the actual president ever.

I have been using words like "disgusting" and "creepy" to describe these men, but I noticed the powerful perlocutionary effect of the word "repulsive" used here instead, like it contains in it the forceful shoving away of, the physical rejection of these men. Feels more apt.

I'm not sure. I worry we'll have to hear more about an "epidemic" of male loneliness because so many men are not getting educated and so are less romantically attractive to their educated female counterparts. I'm already tired of that narrative!

Very cool. I was familiar with the word "crepuscular" but didn't know what anticrepuscular rays were until now.

I think this is part of the devaluation of higher education. If there aren't enough white men involved, getting educated becomes "gay" or "too feminine." I mean, that has already started since women outnumbered men in enrollment, but it will only get worse if the numbers go as you predict.
