“Don’t worry, there is no evidence that Woody Allen had an affair so his daughter will be relieved. “
Paraphrasing here but "It's damning proof of the brokenness of the America healthcare system when the world's richest men can't get a doctor's appt and have to turn to a convicted sex offender for their basic healthcare needs." had me laughing.

The White House just put out a press release in which the subject is (I’m not kidding) “don’t panic!”
(The title technically reads “Don’t Be a Panican,” which suppose is like a nervous nellie.)
Of course, the immediate response is, “Wait, what? Why shouldn’t I panic? WHAT’S GOING ON?!!!”
So is the answer . . .
(A) There is some seriously heinous shit in the batch of Epstein files released to Congress.
(B) There is some seriously heinous shit in the next jobs report.
(C) There is some brand-new heinous shit.
(D) It’s a big nothingburger, because the White House is dumb enough to think that it’s wise to tell people not to panic when they aren’t panicking.

Pretty sure after only one week playing in very few theaters, Melania is no longer showing in Brazil, or at least Sao Paulo.

Sometimes I think the horrid art is one of the only things slowing the fascists down. There just isn't anything to offer over there post-Wagner. An old friend went full Maga on Facebook over the last five years and he posted some bullshit about watching the real American half time show before the game. He didn't say anything after. Dude played in bands, he knows what good music sounds like. I'm sure he held his nose but watched the whole thing on principal.

Which is odd considering the hair-brained aesthetes that pass for the intellectual arm of the reactionary right think that that they own ‘truth’ & ‘beauty’ because… gay MAGA said so? I think there is all sorts of room for all sorts of people in this world but so much of it all just being talk just makes these cretins worse… but if they could produce anything of value they wouldn’t need to play footsie with the right.

A string operation in Bloomington, Minnesota, led
to the arrest of 16 men who had been soliciting an underage girl for sex.
One of the 16 is in ICE. He even boasted as much when the cops nabbed him, saying (literally), “I’m ICE, boys.” Didn’t work!
Here’s the punchline: his job with ICE is performing background checks.

It's just one of many stories about MAGA where the metaphors write themselves. Comedy is dead and MAGA killed it.

Pam Bondi, out there doing her best to defend pedophiles in front of the cameras today. Holy moly. Nothing says cover up like filibustering every question. She blames Merrick Garland for all her answers, but then Ted Liu reminded her that this investigation started back during the Bush administration.
Anyway, she's a huge cunt. I can't even believe there's someone worse than Donald Trump and Stephen Miller. She's doing her best to make this an even bigger controversy, though. Best she's got is filibustering and covering up.

Is Baixo Augusta still the red light district? If so I imagine it was on in theatres there for Bolsonaro boomers to go and jack off.
