"makes up for being not very good at comedy by being excellent at music" is the best description of Kyle Gordon I've ever seen
the best Kyle Gordon songs are the ones where he doesn't even try to do jokes and just does an incredibly accurate genre pastiche. He's a comedy musician who makes up for not being very good at comedy by being excellent at music... very rare!

type of stuff the Talking Heads song is saying in the background while youre in the car trying to break up with your college boyfriend of 3 months on the way to his parents house
this is basically my attitude. personally it makes me uncomfortable, but also i understand completely why so many people (incl. trans women) love it and find it important
I don't like drag. I don't like being equated to drag performers, or expected to know things about drag.
I think a trans person's performative hatred of drag is worse than a nerd's performative hatred of sports. I get it if you don't like it, I don't either, but

The word I'm hoping to add to common English speech is howmanyeth, literal translation of that lovely Tamil word ethanavadhu. Example: "Shubman Gill is the howmanyeth batter to score twin hundreds in an Edgbaston Test?" Don't know what other languages have a similar word.
i've always said that it would be so easy for a politician to run on this. decrease gov't waste, "lower the deficit", and increase efficacy? literally no downsides.
this is the hallmark of a death spiral in public capacity btw lol - slash the public sector by tens of thousands of jobs, outsource it to expensive, external, non-auditable contracts, watch the government bleed finances - get worse services, expertise and left to hold the bag

"is now in active listening mode"
first autistic senate majority leader?
NEW: Sen. Chris Van Hollen is now open to a run against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Van Hollen has "received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode," according to a person familiar w/ his thinking around leadership
"The door is not shut," the person added
Van Hollen is a leading progressive & has said he needs commitments from Schumer before agreeing to support him for another term as leader. The Maryland Democrat has also been eyeing a presidential run

apparently all the ones that Imperioli wrote have Chris being the dumbest fucking guy imaginable
It's so awesome the Sopranos has an episode called Christopher written by actor who played Christopher but the Christopher its about is Christopher Columbus and Christopher is barely in the episode but still gets the best line

they're gonna blame the mississippi loss on tofu somehow and double-down on being insane about beef, i can just feel it
Gingrich: We're on the verge of losing a seat in Mississippi with a senator who explained that there are less expensive ways to get protein. Now, if you're an average, everyday American in Mississippi and you want to barbecue or grill something and you're being told, you should go and get tofu?

this is clearly someone deeply struggling with their mental health and being the target of harassment and mockery is going to make it worse
