oh my god people.


i woke up to the Donald Trump 7/11 news this morning (http://boingboing.net/2016/04/18/trump-solemnly-recalls-the-7-1.html) and all i could think of was this old clip from The Ali G show....anyone else remember this one? i link it here with the timestamp:

it is like everything has come full circle and what was once satire has turned into reality. what.


i really really really hope that if you're in new york you're voting today. HELP US.

jason webley helped compile a long list of "how to vote in NY"...here:

I live in a small banana republic somewhere in the Balkans where satire is reality every fucking day. And you can never get used to that - you just keep facepalming yourself all the fucking time. Our elections will take place next Sunday, and sadly, I'm not optimistic at all. Of course, when satire becomes reality in the country with the most powerful army in the world, its... much more scary. *shudder*

FYI Amanda - I read your patreon posts via my email. So it's actually several extra steps to click through, log in, and like, even if I do read the entire post.

I voted in my little hamlet of the world tonight. Got my son out to vote too. The results for NY should be interesting to say the least...first time in a long time I felt my vote in the primary election mattered.

I remember the day one of our ex president before election slapped a rude kid on camera , and people from my family went "F*** , yeah , dude has some balls!" And my jaw dropped on the floor.My latest theory is perhaps people feel secured by what appears to be somekind of "alpha" male.Doesn't matter if the alpha male seems to be an idiot and troll like a 12 years old on Twitter , he will smash all the problem away somehow..I'm also watching the far right getting more attention in Europe and I'm kinda sweating about the whole thing.

I find myself asking if this is real life, daily, during this political cycle.

Is this the real life… Is this just fantasy(nightmare-ish)…

How does one define reality...

Ice. Cream. Glove. Yuge. We are the laughing stock and that joke isn't funny anymore.

Hey Amanda, last year you responded to one of my tweets with lots of love. I was donating blood at the time, and in my excitement tweeted a bunch of things at you. And wound up getting blocked. Any chance you could unblock me? @michaelclarkj :: Love.

Hey Amanda. Just letting you know I've read this and am worried for the USA. I hope it turns out okay. Also I'm one of the anti-Facebook crew so thanks for bringing us guys the water. Xx

I'm a little late here, but thanks Amanda for taking care of those of us who aren't on FB! (No comment on Trump's 7/11 because he's his own best saboteur these days.)
