So the Dems aren't going to be so stupid as to actually elect Pelosi speaker again, are they?

Remember all those smug fucks who told us "Elections have consequences" after Trump got elected? Feel free to throw it back in their faces if they start complaining about one of the 57 simultaneous House investigations.

They're not going to happen, Pelosi has already indicated she's not interested.

Have federal employees officially missed a paycheck yet?

edit: Looked this up, according to the calendar on gsa.gov the 28th should have been a payday.

Tour� is a culture journalist/critic. I've only heard of him because he wrote a very good biography of Prince.

You can see the reflection of his TelePrompTer in the glass door and they keep having to stop the scroll so he can ramble.

Also, someone other than Fart City had an animated gif avatar of the same person in the same outfit. What's that from, anyway?

It's Aunt Martha from the movie Sleepaway Camp if I'm not mistaken.

edit: gah, refresh page :P

FYI if anyone is curious my av is an illustration I did of Aunt Martha from Sleepaway Camp, aka my spirit animal

The first time I saw this movie I thought she was played by a man in drag, and then I just assumed that had been the case for years, until I eventually read the credits.

I think there's a really important point that Northam and Lieberman are missing, and maybe a few others. The issue is not the belief that Northam is a racist and should resign. It's very possible he learned his lesson and changed his ways.
The issue is that by remaining in power he perpetuates hurt and pain among black individuals, makes it way more difficult for the state to heal, and let's face it he has lost any trust and ability to govern effectively.
And by remaining in his seat, he actually gives strong evidence that he actually isn't as sensitive to the real concerns of black individuals and calls into serious question whether he's actually fully changed.
So by staying in his seat he ends up reinforcing the very belief that he's insensitive to black concerns.

It's just infuriating that the right gets to chalk up a "win" based on a charge of racism. Like, parties reversed, this would not be happening because Republican-Northam would have had his party close ranks around him.
Obviously the right thing to do is resign, but Northam and his fellow Dems should be demanding blood for blood.

I'm pretty worried about Epstein getting killed before he can narc on all his rich and powerful friends tbh.

His actual co-conspirators, the people who actually procured the girls he trafficked, all received immunity. One of them is now married to a NASCAR driver.

siamese dream is the album nirvana wished they could have made

OK this was so many pages ago and the 90s music derail is long gone but gently caress if I'm going to let this dogshit revisionist take stand. Nirvana wanted to make punk rock. Nirvana wanted to make noise rock. Nirvana had no goddamn interest in making a bloated psychedelic-shoegaze album. Kurt loving hated that poo poo.

If Cobain was still with us he�d be on The Voice and guest judging Food Network�s Tiny House Halloween Wedding Cake specials and you know it. Also Status Quo > The Kinks. I mean, I could go on

Oh God, imagine a 52-year-old Kurt Cobain whose career followed the same trajectory as Rivers Cuomo's.

Its a strange thing - wondering what potential our dead music icons left on the table while mourning the soulless husks they might've become.

Imagine a 75-year-old Jim Morrison whose career followed the same trajectory as David Crosby's.

Hey now, he had some good songs...

And "I hate country but I guess Garth Brooks is alright" is the whitest opinion ever.

Garth Brooks is a garbage person who, back in the early 90s, lobbied Congress to pass legislation banning the resale of used CDs because he wasn't getting royalties after the initial sale.

If you don't work from home at least 3 days a week and you do a job that isn't literal manual labor, you're basically human chattel.
