Donald Trump Loses in New Hampshire

A harbinger?

From The Palmer Report:

The New Hampshire primary isn’t set to take place until Tuesday, but the remote locale of Dixville Notch traditionally kicks off the voting the night before, by staying up until just after midnight. The tiny number of voters in the town – just five voters across both parties – usually makes for an entertaining story. This time around, Donald Trump somehow lost the Republican vote in Dixille Notch, to someone who wasn’t even on the ballot and isn’t even a Republican.

Several major news outlets are reporting that Mike Bloomberg won the New Hampshire Democratic primary in Dixville Notch, by getting two write-in votes. This allowed him to beat out Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders, who got one vote each. But it turns out Bloomberg also won the New Hampshire Republican primary in Dixville Notch by getting one write-in vote, while Donald Trump got zero votes.

All I have to say is

If You Despise Buttigieg and Think He is the Same as Trump, You’ve Fucking Lost Your Mind

From BoyCulture:

WAPO: Pete Buttigieg won Iowa, and it has opened a can of LGBTQ-powered whup-ass on his LGBTQ ass. It’s absurd how over-the-top the reactions to Buttigieg are, especially within our own community. In no way to I think we have to vote for any LGBTQ candidate just because they’re LGBTQ, however: (1) Why do so many jump to the conclusion that his supporters are voting for him only for that reason? It smacks of the same bigotry (even from within!) that was used in an effort to shame black voters and white liberal voters who supported Obama “just because he’s black” and (2) if you despise Buttigieg and think he is the same as Trump, you’ve fucking lost your mind. The guy is an intelligent, thoughtful, dedicated public servant and veteran who has weaknesses like any other candidate, but whose campaign is historic and whose willingness to listen to the party’s progressive wing in any eventual White House stay should strike you as exciting. He is not a corporate tool. Who cares if money comes from billionaires? Which billionaires is more interesting, and is anything expected in return? Money is not instantly corrupting. If it is, then Bernie is as corrupt as all the other nominees, and he’s clearly not corrupt.

A Classic Scene

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!

Director: Tim Burton

Date: March 30, 1988

More: When filming this scene, the attacking shrimp proved quite difficult to shoot. The prop handlers beneath the table couldn’t see the actors’ faces and kept poking their eyes, ruining take after take.

Today? The shrimp hands would probably be CG’d, but back then practical solutions were needed… Which is when Dick Cavett, the actor who played Bernard (Delia’s art agent), suggested that Tim shoot the sequence in reverse.

And voilà.
