I served in the military during the Vietnam war, and my foot hurt too, but I served anyway.

Always relevant.

I would have liked it better without the supernatural stuff. The NIMH creating super-intelligent rats and testing/torturing them, and resulting in a aged and preternaturally wise Nicodemus was impacting enough. Not to mention the owl. The supernatural stuff just seemed a bit out of place, and is even more so now. I

If you think all the staff at the Oceanaire make $25/hr after tips, you have way too much faith in your fellow citizens and their generosity in tipping. Ever read “Behind Closed Ovens”? Besides, chefs, prep cooks, people who bus tables, and cleaners after the restaurant closes don’t get tipped. Extrapolating how much

Can you fucking imagine a restaurant adding a whiny note and a surcharge if any other service costs increased?

It also seems to imply that he was paying people the absolute minimum he could, if it’s actually driving his labor up.

Hey, it’s a proven scientific anecdote that if you give a poor working person more money they won’t spend it, they will just horde it or use it to invest in bitcoin. That’s the problem with poor people. They save all their money instead of giving it to rich people.

What really bothers me is that no one seems to get (or deliberately ignores) that the Nazi Party didn’t just come to power and then boom, instant Holocaust. Any time you point out the disturbing parallels on our current path some apologist, either rightwing or left, will invariably say “how dare you, it’s not like

This is how you deal with racist emblems:

We should have dealt with the south like we did with Germany after WWII.

Not sure of what the other poster meant, but one could argue the city was negligent in making the removal of the monument public. New Orleans, for example, has removed monuments on unspecified dates, in the dark of night. But of course, I can also see how someone might feel like this approach symbolizes a degree of

To the jabroni who replied to me who I’m gonna keep in the grays;

And also, start with the assholes who still have a Bernie sticker on their cars.

Folks: If the sentiment “Black Lives Matter” gives you pause -if you think for some reason that those three words, in that order, are problematic -then you don’t get to call yourself a liberal anymore. I don’t care where you stand on any other issue, you need to go sit with the Trumpicans and KKK members (but I repeat

White Seattelite here. This tracks. Not the least bit surprising.

I’m also not surprised by white Seattleites all over the internet talking about how shocking the murder of Charleena Lyles is “because Seattle is so welcoming and progressive!” I’m disgusted by it, because it’s willfully clueless bullshit and outright

His role in the Keating 5 scandal counts. As did his role in throwing the Tillman family under the bus when it turned out that his political grandstanding only lasted as long as the scandal about their son’s death was a secret.

Yep, he was a key player in normalizing the tea party mentality, despite not being of it himself. His Palin pick was perhaps the single most decisive moment in making the crazy angry fringe in the GOP more mainstreamed and sacrificed his party’s credibility for numbnuttery. He also caved to trump when it mattered, in

Well I can’t separate the two anymore.
