You know, Cornell, if you had actually stuck up for the Pride stuff you could have earned a lot of points with a lot of people. As it was you lost out on all of that by showing yourself a faithless friend, and on the bigots to whom capitulation is never enough. Even from an amoral profit perspective you screwed up.
I havenât been to Target since they removed Pride merchandise and Cornellâs statements have ensured that I never do again.
The talk show host was conducting a live interview with actor and singer ReneĂ© Rapp at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan Monday at the time of the exchange. Footage shared by TMZ and PopCrave shows the event being interrupted by an audience member shouting Barrymoreâs name.
âYou know who I am,â the man says in the clip, after introducing himself as Chad Michael Busto. âI need to see you at some point while Iâm here in New York.â
At that point, Rapp escorts Barrymore backstage as the man is confronted by the venueâs security.
Fuck the way Politico frames the victim as a troublemaker.
I wouldnât normally defend Politico, but it looks like the AP is to blame for this one.
Ah, I do see now that the byline on the Politico article is the AP.
Fuck them both. AP for writing and publishing it, and Politico for picking it up as is.
At lest we now know the names of the assholes who wrote it.
These guys donât get nearly the attention of honey bees, but are at least as, if not more, important for our food crops
Damn it, whatever happens to Trump as a person, we will be dealing with the mess he and his fucking fascist buddies created for generations to come.
Before he dies, we really need to name some waste sites after him. The Donald Trump Memorial Nuclear Waste Dump, etc etc.
Personally Iâd love for the name he was so proud to put on whatever crap never to be used on anything again. The P01135809 memorial waste dump, maybe.
Our community well here in central Texas is failing.
We are told we will not have water for weeks, possibly many weeks.
We have no water at our house right now. Zero.
Itâs fire season.
There have been house fires and wildfires off and on 5-10 miles from us, all summer. But weâve always had water from our well as part of a plan to control fire in our neighborhood.
Now, no.
Fingers crossed.
(I just filled up our camping jugs in town at a friendâs hose bib, and will now attempt to wash dishes with the barest minimum of water ever. And weâve been very frugal for over a year during pumpage curtailments, using a sump pump in our bathtub to move greywater around, and to flush with.)
Prayinâ fer rain⊠if only for the fire control aspects.
Oh Lord, I am so sorry⊠That sucks for your whole community! We are dry here, but nothing like that.
Thanks Doc.
Itâs âbeen a journeyâ here and I swear I have learned more about coping with catastrophes in the past 12 months than I have in my previous 58 years.
Hanging on and maybe breathing into a paper bag.
I may eat ice cream for lunch. Iâm laying a limestone-and-mortar wall today.
