I feel like the Detroit polling places being fucked up and the FP column I just linked are of a pieceSince nobody cares to even defend our institutions anymore, why bother doing your job if you work for one? It's hard to tell whether it's apathy, incompetence, corruption or enemy action at this point

When 2 million American adults are behind bars for trivial offenses, their lives permanently derailed, while no legal institution has punished any executive for bringing about the collapse of the world economy?
here here. obama got a pass because he 'fixed' the mess. he failed in the end because nobody was held accountable.

Is the Naked Cowboy a permanent fixture at Trump Tower Bar? I had some family visiting in september and we walked into the lobby for kicks on a weekday afternoon. The place was dead but the cowboy was standing at the bar taking tequila shots and since then i've him in the background a lot in news broadcast.

The first step in getting people to understand trump is pointing out how he uses rapid-fire spectacles to divert attention, like a three-card monte dealer.
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Thursday, 15 December 2016 21:52 (seven years ago) link
The second step is that his rapid-fire spectacles consist of hiring lunatics and incompetents to run the country.

To his (screen?)credit, at least Stallone wrote/directed/produced a lot of his flicks, morseso than anyone else in the American 80s pantheon.

Oh I'm _including_ Rhinestone. And the Estelle Getty movie. And that weird period gangster comedy in the late 70s. And everything after Demolition Man.

I first rolled my eyes and said to myself, well, he'd be the least objectionable of Trump's appointees. And then it fully sank in that Sylvester Stallone would be the least objectionable appointee of the incoming president, so now I'm just typing this real quick as I plummet from the top of a very tall buildi

isn't Sylvester Stallone actually an active & well-known collector of fine art?

Sylvester Stallone is artsier than people tend to think. This cabinet post is also less important than the Secretary of State or Department of Ed positions so I'm not going to worry about it to much

xp, yes a collector and a painter - though a fairly terrible one. He must have pretty good contacts to get shows at MoMA and the Russian Museum.
