I wrote a short poem after watching a particularly stunning fireworks show with my family, through tears. I'm actually quite pleased with it, but I'm sure it won't be long before I absolutely hate it. Such is my life.

Tony Stark had to be like, a super-delegator. He knew what was going on during the events of Winter Soldier. SHIELD was leading a man-hunt for Captain America. Nick Fury "died". Tony was literally just chilling somewhere, drinking martinis, listening to the news like, "Cap can handle it."

The Acolyte was so good and had so much potential and they really just cancelled it because it got review-bombed by a bunch of psychopaths before it was even available to watch.

Ugh, racists ruin everything.

It's been a week. The shock part is over; the awe part never happened. Time to be throwing sand into the fascist gears, y'all.

More people need to be looking things up, not just because they're ignorant, but because they want to be as certain as possible that they have everything right and aren't believing or spreading misinformation.

And more people need to understand what a "reliable source" is.

Well, guess I'm not a big Jon Stewart fan anymore.

This may be a product of the democratic process, but to try and make light of the very real fears of fascism overtaking our country isn't fair to those of us being targeted by hateful policies that intend to erase us or make us enemies.

Makes sense. Obviously, the DOJ must serve as the president's flying monkeys and not, you know, impartially defend law and order, because that would just be ridiculous.

So, I'm watching The Mummy, and I have a couple questions...
1. Did the people who made this movie not learn the very basic rule of filmmaking that voice-overs are a crutch and lazy af? Show, don't tell, dumbass.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

My nervous system has been acting like I'm being hunted for sport for a week now.

I wonder why that is.

Aziraphale is confused and disappointed. He knows that humanity is flawed, but this is a little much. He has spent the last few nights drinking heavily with Crowley and drunk-crying into his shoulder.

Your overwhelm is the goal.
1. The flood of 200+ executive orders in Trump's first days exemplifies Naomi Klein's "shock doctrine" - using chaos and crisis to push through radical changes while people are too disoriented to effectively resist.

Plot twist: The rapture happens, but all the pro-Jesus atheists get picked up and the so-called "Christians" who scoff at Jesus's biblical teachings are left behind to fight over the shit world they created, Mad Max-style.

Jesus Christ himself could appear before the Christo-fascists and quote his own words from the Bible and he'd find himself getting crucified again.
