Preface: I hate the guy, he’s awful, and he is no doubt the harbinger of the end of American Democracy (or the final nail in the coffin, at least), that said. . .

Once again, Donald Trump has a better understanding of how to persuasively frame messaging than the entire Democratic Party, which is currently using,…

I was pro-life until I heard the personal stories of women who had abortions. I wasn’t a rabid pro-lifer, but I was fed a certain tale of what a woman who has an abortion is like. Hearing the real stories, the real truth, is what changed my mind and made me realize I was being fed lies. Now I’m firmly pro choice,…

Whoa, whoa, whoa. This happened in 2019? It has only been two years?!?!?!?!? It feels like it happened well before that. Jesus, 2020 was super long.

Anderson Cooper is already practicing tough love on his son Wyatt saying that he will not be leaving behind an inheritance when he dies.

Are her forearm and hand terribly photoshopped?!! I cannot unsee!

One thing that fascinates me about the Catholic Church in America is that the mandated religious doctrine has a minimal effect on its parishioners. About 98% of Catholic women have been on hormonal birth control in their reproductive years. All the Catholics I went to high school and college with were sexually active…

The American Revolution was driven primarily by the Northen merchant class and the Southern planter class. “The masses” were largely indifferent. The way this part of American history is taught in schools is much closer the myth than fact. Take the Boston Tea Party for example. It is usually taught that a group of…

Pushing tens of millions of people to a point where they have literally nothing to lose is a pretty risky strategy for anyone who wants to maintain their power and privilege.

It looks like I’m gonna have surgery to remove my ovarian cyst this coming week and will be in the hospital recovering for a couple of days. After that I will be home recovering for at least a month and unable to work for at least 2 months. So far it doesn’t seem like I have cancer but the doctor said they won’t know…

Shelter Cat Update!

Two years with someone else's heart ticking away inside me.

Some PED history: 

All I’m saying is if I overdid it on edibles, and I heard that starting gun fire, I think I could keep up with Usain Bolt for maybe  10 yards or so. 

unless you get paranoid that someone’s chasing you

I don’t think the idea that marijuana CAN be performance enhancing is necessarily wrong (I was just thinking the other day about whether it would be a performance enhancer for like a distance run). But I don’t think it’s a performance enhancer for sprinting (unless you get paranoid that someone’s chasing you), and I…

I hope she gets to run, but I don’t think they should bend any rules for her. That’s not really fair to athletes who may have abstained to pass their own tests during this testing period.

Punk has a zillion subgenres dude. It’s 2021, we don’t need to do the punk vs not punk pissing contest. To act like Blink or Good Charlotte are mainstream pop is a leap.

Cheap post is cheap. But also, spot on.

I had no idea about that. It made me gasp. That is shockingly evil.

“and given that Costello supposedly has emails going back 4 years in an attempt to talk to her, which of course Lewis is not required to reply, it seems like he was wanting to fix whatever miscommunication happened”

What he actually said was : “I have 7 emails from the last 4 years and these past 9 weeks from your team…
