September 18, quoting from Late Night with Seth Myers
“You know what’s a little incriminating? If you’re accused of sexual assault, and you just happen to have on hand a list of other women you didn’t sexually assault. If the cops come to your house and say they want to ask you about a murder, and you come to the door with a list of people you didn’t murder, you’ll still be a suspect in that murder.” -Seth Meyers

September 28: Quoting from this linked video of Trae Crowder.
Me: “His inability to keep his fucking shit together any better than he did while testifying about it today? That’s reason enough by itself to not give him this job. That’s how important the job is. That’s how high the standard should be.”
Commenter: Why the profanity?
Me: We have way more important shit to worry about right now than profanity.
