The thing about Catherine O’Hara is she is so hilarious and talented that I forgot she was mortal

"Trump and Steven Miller want a race war. They think they’ll win it. They think white people will tune in for it. Their operating theory is that most white people are viciously racist, like they are, and that most whites secretly pine to live in apartheid South Africa."

In my headcanon everyone involved in this shares a high five for getting “YES ♥️” on the last bar and goes out for drinks, and then one confectioneer, stumbling home on a dark, windswept night, stops suddenly under a lone streetlight: “Oh.” he says. “Oh, no. What have we done.”

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

Everyone else is *way* too concerned about looking stupid to notice when *you* look stupid Go, be free.

The Horrors persist but so do-- The Horrors persist but The Horrors The Horrors *sucks air through teeth* Man, that's, like, a lot of Horrors. A lot more Horrors than normal. I was led to expect that-- less Horrors, in general, you know? Is there, uh-- a bathroom? No? Oh, this is gonna be bad.

Not only are these not the worst Brett Ratner stories I've heard from folks, they're not even the worst stories I've heard about him licking his fingers on set.

I love the Olympics, so this project was a very fun one. After a LOT of parsing through @graze.social nodes, I've created feeds for each of the individual Winter Olympic and Paralympic sports that you can find now on @olympics.richferro.com!

This is a good point. When I was in grade school (in the mid-‘80s), half a block from my school was The Center for Parents and Friends of R— Children. Their use of the term was nothing but positive and supporting. Half a block away, ours was…not. We helped turn it into a slur—by using it AS a slur.

This is far from the biggest problem here, but just in case you might misunderstand what “stays at border” means, here is CBP’s jurisdiction (source: www.southernborder.org/100_mile_bor...)

It's pretty wild to expect people who are already skilled in one artistic discipline to somehow become renaissance performers who can master every discipline. Acting, filming and editing are all disciplines in their own right and it's not fair to expect everyone in the world to have to master them!

I’m sorry but as someone who has a book and a PhD on this exact thing, this is just straight up not true. The majority of Nazis discovered living abroad (particularly in the US, Australia, and UK) faced almost no legal consequences beyond the occasional loss of citizenship.

Portlanders! Go see this cuz I can’t. (Also, industry folks, have I ever noted in my praise of this show that this is the same Kirk Hamilton who hosts the Triple Click podcast with Myers and Schreier?)

Strike Walsenburg, CO

My daughter’s in eighth grade, and this morning I realized I didn’t see her doing her homework last night, so I checked to be sure she’d done it. She proceeded to go OFF about the dumb and boring book they have to read for Language Arts, which “everyone” in her class hates. So I ask her what book.

Someone please check my math, but if I’m reading this right it appears as though, if those seven Democrats had voted NO, the bill funding the child-torturers would have failed 214-213. I can’t help but feel like shit is about to get very much uglier, very quickly. Stay safe and smart, folks.

Y’all, I cannot properly convey how quickly the saves-your-read-position thing became absolutely indispensable for me. Thinking about it now I realize it dials down the social media anxiety a little bit by removing the fear of having missed something important.

I’m a cishet white man, and I don’t have a podcast—good luck classifying me. If you’ve got an issue with me, take your shot. You’ve never seen the likes of me. I’m so unpredictable, so heterodox.

I have no skin in Bills-Broncos and in fact almost never watch football but I’ve just learned that as a Clevelander I apparently have some institutional resentment against Denver

I am very angry about a thing and I was about to share how angry I am about it with some people and then I realized that it’s a thing that can’t be influenced in any way by any of the people I was about to share it with and so I didn’t and instead I’m vagueskeeting it here, thank you and also, FUCK.

Only halfway through and this is already another banger of an ep. I really love this podcast; Kirk’s enthusiasm is so contagious and his musical insights are legit. He routinely points out shit I’ve literally never heard in songs I’ve listened to a thousand times. Like, whole damn instruments!

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com
