Minnesota GOP Rep. Duane Quam got a bit agressive with the microphone, ripping it out of the hands of Democratic challenger Jamie Mahlberg during a League of Women Voter’s forum.

This is what cocky male entitlement looks like.

I can’t believe I forgot to mention this (blame not sleeping all night) - her story is already in development as a film. Daisy Ridley (Rey from Star Wars) is set to play Virginia. More here.

This movie has been in various states of development for like a decade, but I think it’s got incredibly good odds of being in the current development climate.

And while we’re here, have a cute picture of Virginia and Paul (he’s the one on the right). The other two pictured are OSS reinforcements who came in along with Paul, but neither stuck around very long - so I relegated their presence in the story to a footnote.

Minnesota Democrats prevail in a critical special election, holding on to a Trump country seat

This gives them a shot at a state Senate majority.

I was the lead organizer for this race. The energy surrounding it was electric and volunteers were walking in off the street to help however they could.

2018 is going to be a blood bath.

The fact that Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian Mckellen are best friends in real life makes me so happy

Never stops making me smile. I want someone like this in my life. 💜

Okay so the best thing,the best thing about Sirs Patrick & Ian being best friends is that they met because of the X-Men movie.

I saw Sir Patrick speak a year or so ago and someone asked him about their friendship.  He told this story about how I think they’d once or twice worked on the same production but had had very little interaction, and that when he’d been a kid, he’d utterly looked up to Sir Ian, who had had an established theater career at a very young age. 

People assume that they’ve been friends since they were young, which makes sense given the sort of work they’ve done and their career trajectories, but no. Sir Patrick basically had a giant hero-crush-from-a-distance on Sir Ian for most of his life AND THEN on the set of X-Men, their trailers were put next to each other and they were significantly older than anyone else on the set, so they started spending their downtime together. 

And became inseparable.  And this is amazing. 

So everyone who wants a friend like this, you have time. <3

i will always reblog this epic friendship

[rosalarian]

Something to keep in mind next time you feel lonely. Making friends as you get older can feel really hard, and sometimes it feels like you might never make new friends. These two went most of their lives with the best friendship of their lives still yet to come. This kind of friendship is definitely worth sticking around for.

A rollback of net neutrality regulations would represent a significant victory for broadband and telecom companies like AT&T and Comcast and would amount to a strike against consumers.

“Under my proposal, the federal government will stop micromanaging the internet,” Mr. Pai said in a statement. “Instead, the F.C.C. would simply require internet service providers to be transparent about their practices so that consumers can buy the service plan that’s best for them and entrepreneurs and other small businesses can have the technical information they need to innovate.”

Fuck you, Ajit Pai.
