RIP Marianne Faithfull. And also Anita Pallenberg. Both seen here as God & the Devil on "Ab Fab." The dialogue still rings true. pic.twitter.com/iXQbnsHail

Night 2 of the DNC was litttt. After that crazy-fun roll call, the night produced some stirring speeches, none more so than the back-to-back elegant combativeness of Michelle and Barack Obama.
@boyculturedotcom Okay, best but of the night was Obama finding a classy way to say Trump is hung like a hamster. #barackobama #obama #dnc #democrats #crowdsize #donaldtrump #trump #kamalaharris #kamalaharris2024 #voteblue #harriswalz2024 #boyculture ♬ original sound - Matthew Rettenmund/BoyCulture
They're not considered two of our classiest orators for nothin', and they did not disappoint, with Michelle rebranding “when they go low, we go high” by instead focusing on how being “small,” like Donald Trump, is unpresidential — while not shying away from calling him the fuck out on his bullshit.
Barack Obama gave what will undoubtedly rank among his best and most important speeches, in which he sought to praise Joe Biden, drag Trump (he even worked in one use of the world “weird”!) and imprint his credentials and his sincerity on Kamala Harris, who seems to be a person he respects and to whom he seems to relate.
But I was also won over by the speech from Kamala's husband, Doug Emhoff, who charmingly recalled meeting her on a blind date and leaving an embarrassing phone message. I think he was utterly relatable.
Whew — two more nights of all this energy and joy SPINE.
