Today in The Downfall of America: watching Trump speak to a gathering of military brass and wondering if he’s going to insist on a loyalty pledge OR if the whole place is going to get bombed because what a target. Love this for all of us.
Fun fact to add: In 1935 German Defense Minister Blomberg - the one who introduced the new oath of loyalty to Hitler renamed the German Defense Ministry… wait for it… the “Ministry of War”.
In 1935 German leadership called a surprise meeting and informed their previous oath to uphold the Weimar constitution was now void and they instead must swear a personal oath to the Führer. Many claimed they didn’t like the order, but they did it anyway.

Tonight I saw someone give a bowl of waters to the Cambridge Turkey Clan, and sat next to a man at the tapas bar who was enjoying the shit out of his meal. It’s nice to see some joy out there.

Shakespeare was pansexual. My evidence is entirely based on the number of people falling in love with “a man pretending to be a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman” in his plays

Where did the trope of “if a woman has sex she dies” come from? It’s in horror movies, comic strips, opera, etc, but where did it come from originally?

Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats:
1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).

Finally watched Monday’s Rachel Maddow Show and listen: if she were to ever, for any reason, take fully TWENTY-SIX MINUTES (without commercials!) to calmly and thoroughly excoriate me personally, I would simply walk into the sea and hope no one came looking. Almost made me sorry for McDaniel.
