Tragedy Circlejerk, Round #376

Post-tragedy checklist:
  • Add overlay to profile photos
  • Tweet "Thoughts and prayers"
  • Create hashtags
  • Watch 24/7 reports of speculation with no information
  • Snipe at each other online
  • Observe powers that be pondering publicly if THIS will be the one that prompts action
  • Wait for next tragedy

You spelled "rape" wrong.

One more on this...
Hey, USA TODAY?
It's a rape case. Not "sex" -- rape.
Please understand the difference.

Oompa, loompa, doopity doo...

I just read that Donald Drumpf is now publicly defending his penis size.

Bigger (heh) question: Is it the same color as his face? #cheeto

Decidedly not pretty fly for white guys

I'm really not informed enough to comment on any racism or sexism that did or did not lead to this decision.

But the racism and sexism I saw while reading about it online were goddamn vile and disgusting. 

Via CNN: Melissa Harris-Perry 'highly unlikely' to return to MSNBC 

I didn't always agree with her, but I liked that show because it was a different perspective from all the white dudes they're focusing on. Plus, having seen the rest of their programming, there's really quite enough "breaking election news" without ditching your weekend morning hosts to make it a complete, 24-hour circle jerk. What, you need to pre-empt your Sunday shows to report that Donald Trump pooped and what that might mean for his Super Tuesday numbers?

Sartorial/Senatorial

"Senator Holmes? Let's talk. You know, your state's got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one."

A Kansas senator presented a new dress code for the State Capitol. Only for women, though, because men "already know how to look professional."

Oh, hey! Kiss my professional dick, sir.

Also...Senator? You work in the fucking State Capitol. OF KANSAS. What could these women have POSSIBLY been wearing? Pasties with tassels? G-string? Corset and thigh-highs?

I took this from the Fox News article about it: "[The code] prevents women testifying on bills from wearing low-cut necklines and miniskirts.

"Holmes said, 'We're looking for you to be addressing the issue rather than trying to distract or bring eyes to yourself.'"

Maybe legislate your boner, dicknuts.

The elephant in the room.

Quick acknowledgment: I am not a complete asshole. I'm aware of the fucked-up shit happening in the world right now. I am not trying to be insensitive. Quite the opposite, actually -- I am so OVER-sensitive that if I tune into the news too much, I will end up on my living room floor in a ball, weeping for humanity.

It happened after 9/11. It happened after Newtown. It happened after the Boston Marathon. It's why I've had bitchface all day today and am currently hiding from the world with spiked cider and a book.

For the most part, my goal here is to make you guys laugh if I can. So that's what I'm going to keep trying to do. You have enough anger and sadness on your social media -- I have nothing to contribute you haven't already heard a million times. And my thoughts on world events are more than likely not why you're here reading the po' folks' Carrie Bradshaw.

So. I'm gonna go on making my little jokes and trying not to end up in The Weepy Floor Ball, which is the world's shittiest yoga pose.

I love y'all.

As you were.
