I don’t recall ever going into any of the big restaurant chains except for a PF Chang’s once, and I think an Olive Garden once as well, and Denny’s rather more than once.  

You’re asking what is the point of diminishing the reach of a terrorist organization that profits off of deliberately frightening and stirring up the populace so they will further enrich arms manufacturers?

Fuck this guy. He made it illegal for health care providers to ask patients if they owned a gun, which was so dangerous it got struck down a few years later.

No. Fuck that. I just finished a rant about that above.

Sigh, the whole “Joss Whedon cheated on his wife so therefore is a fake feminist” thing is so fucking stupid. Yeah, it was a shitty thing to do, but both men and women cheat on both men and women. I’m getting really tired of good people being dragged for being insufficiently pure by people whose own lives are no doubt…

They had copy editors?

Please don’t throw us in the briar patch, Mr. President!

That that is even being perceived as being “treated shabbily” in the first place shows just how insulated and arrogant politicians have become.

She needs a hug from one of the escaped pythons that have become pests in Florida.

The other day, my burly, beardy roommate jumped and squealed like a little girl at the sight of a huge spider coming down the wall right above his head.

Names like that were a big thing in the Elephant 6 Collective.

Even better, stop thinking of rape as a woman’s issue in the first place, because it isn’t. Men and women both get raped, by men. Yes, a small percentage of rapes are committed by women, but the majority of that are statutory rapes. And while I don’t think a 14-year-old boy can truly consent to having sex with his…

When did they go away?

When did they go away?

This, this right here, not realizing the impact that it would have on other female employees, that is the aspect of #MeToo that often tends to get overlooked by men who think this stuff really isn’t that big a deal unless there’s genuine violence or rape involved, and complain they can’t flirt in the office anymore.…

I wanted to go to Ellington so, so, so bad. I begged, I pleaded, I cut school constantly, I went on hunger strike. Alas, my family thought the arts were a useless and trivial waste of time, whereas sports taught you valuable life lessons that would help me in the real world.

I was going to comment, and then realized I couldn’t without ruining it.
