Wow, really grateful they didn't bother with Best Original Song performances. That acceptance speech was MORE THAN ENOUGH

Yes, it is just another cheesy β€˜80s sexy sax solo, but this one goes kinda hard.

It sucks, but I do take some comfort in knowing that the gaslighting doesn’t work. For whatever that’s worth.

The Dem electoral strategy of gaslighting voters (β€œthe economy is great, actually!”) has been so tragic. People were way more apt to believe whatever lie Trump told them, because at least he seemed to understand that we all want something better.

it is beyond clear that for many americans trump is a blank slate who stands for whatever they personally want

It is kinda crazy to see Trump become some other rich guy’s little bitch.

I'm with Kelly here: deeply interested in leftism as a political project but have no interest whatsoever in leftism as a subculture. the stakes of leaving this behind are hopefully clearer by the day

Daycare. The seasoned employees sat me down to explain which 4 year olds were irredeemably evil and I knew I was not cut out for that biz.
