Also a seatbelt that doesn’t strangle me. Although men under 5'4" or so probably have the same request!

Thanks! Will check out the links. I was being too lazy to google, sorry about that.

I don’t have an opinion on this because I’m totally uninformed (I can’t tolerate even mildly scary movies) but if you don’t mind answering questions, since you apparently know about movie awards, do you know what category horror movies are usually nominated in? And is the comedy category somehow considered lesser than…

I live in DC and while I can’t say from direct experience, I have definitely heard that finding thin pretexts to deny black men entry is a management-encouraged policy, not a bad bouncer or two.

If ‘taxpayer funded contraception’ was a thing that existed (because the contraceptive mandate means insurers have to provide you with contraception that you—not “taxpayers”—pay for with your premiums), wouldn’t you especially want to give it to people who have had an abortion, so they wouldn’t get pregnant again and…

I’ve met Judge Kozinski several times and it wasn’t just staffers he harassed. But these stories are 100% true, and it’s been well known in legal communities for years - he’s just entirely shameless about it, and has never faced the possibility of sanctions other than his own shame.

Made with malted milk powder instead of regular milk. Maybe this is a midwestern thing? I grew up in the 80s/90s and it’s definitely something I had, although I can’t say that I’ve had one or even thought about one for the last 20 years or so.

I went down a rabbit hole on this because I was so surprised by it. To recap, I learned the overwhelming majority of pumpkin sold in the US is Libby’s brand, which is made from Dickinson pumpkins, a variety of pumpkin that is less orange and spherical than Halloween pumpkins but is definitely not a butternut squash.…

We’re having salmon. Nice patriotic American fish, tastes good with sweet potatoes, cranberries, mashed potatoes, and all the other usual Thanksgiving sides. I’m delighted that I talked/bullied everyone into it.

Ooh, do I get to make the first pissing on a bed joke? Yes?

I think - and I am not a doctor, just an ordinary queer with many trans friends - that the ‘medically necessary’ part comes primarily from a mental/emotional health perspective. Gender dysphoria is extremely harmful to many people’s mental and emotional health, and gender-affirming surgery is the necessary treatment…

Danica Roem’s district is Manassas Park City and part of Prince William County, in the DC exurbs. Mechanicsville is about 100 miles south of there.

The number of shootings in the area????

I appreciate that Althea Garrison is the first known trans person to hold a state legislative office (we don’t know if she’s actually the first trans person; she’s the first one to be outed), but does she even self-identify as trans? I’m kind of uncomfortable with this whole media story about her. It seems like the…

The term ‘taxpayer’ also turns citizens into consumers. It absolves us of our civic responsibility and casts us as mere customers of the government, not active participants in government of the people, by the people, and for the people. It creates both a sense of entitlement and a lack of compassion for fellow…

He was probably a gang member; Fairfax county has a huge problem with MS-13 violence. All the evidence indicates that he didn’t kill her due to her gender or religion, but rather because she was the only one he caught. Either he already planned to kill a random person that night or, more likely, it was a road rage…

Not in Virginia. Virginia has the shortest average time between sentence and execution of any state and has executed more people than any other state (granted, we’ve been a state for a long time). The appeals process in Virginia is expedited compared to procedures in most states.

I know I’m not the only one who’s considered it, but we don’t know where the security cameras are.

In his portrait in my office building he looks super constipated.
