    "The golden shrines placed at the altar of the gods we create for ourselves in the void of any meaning are as pointless as the lives we lead to feed the children we imagine will carry on any idea of us after we are dead. (turns to camera left) I see Lady Gaga is here tonight."

    Werner Herzog should host the Oscars.

    When they do inevitably make a porn out of the Trump Administration, obviously everyone should be played by porn stars, except for Stormy Daniels, who should be played by Meryl Streep.

    I kind of hope Scaramucci turns out to be the doofus behind Q. It would be like that one time Desmond from Lost randomly came back to Scandal.

    44.8 percent of women killed from 2007 to 2016 were killed by an intimate partner... 5 percent of all men killed from 2007 to 2016 were killed by an intimate partner.

    This is a breathtaking & important piece about domestic violence murders & I'm so glad to see so many people sharing it. I'm surprised, though, at those professing shock: Feminists have been sharing similar stats for over a decade.

    People have been tweeting me for my thoughts on Nick Cannon’s tweets. I obviously can’t speak for the entire LGBTQ community. But here’s my personal opinion for those who care, which is probably not that many people.
