No-knock raids should be illegal.

We lived in the country. Our neighbor shot our pet rooster with a bow and arrow. In the winter. There was blood, an arrow, and feathers left in the ditch where he was shot, but no bird. I have always wondered if they ate our rooster. RIP, buddy, we miss you.

I have no issues with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard owning a building and I think they’re being really good landlords by not charging rent for April. It’s decent and I wish my apartment complex would do the same.

Yeah, kind of just assumed they were lying the whole time. Every single thing about them is manufactured, even the “truth”.

I’m so glad to see this topic, especially since I’ve been melting down all over Jezebel the last few days over an emergency due to my son’s situation.

Just a point of order—Typhoid Mary thought the doctors were lying to her about her being a typhoid carrier without getting sick, so she ignored orders, medical and civil, and continued on being household help. The reason she had to be locked up is that she absolutely refused to cooperate with not infecting others.…

My parents discovered I was gay at the end of my senior year of high school, right before graduation. My father beat me nearly unconscious and I literally ran out of the house with only the clothes I was wearing. I snuck back in twice to get some things, but it barely amounted to a suitcase’s worth of stuff.

I stayed…

I was traveling through Europe at the end of the study abroad, so I was lugging a huge suitcase from France, to Belgium, to Italy, to Greece, to England. Upon my arrival in Brussels, a man approached me and offered to carry my suitcase up the stairs. I declined, having learned in my time in Europe that men who offered…

My worst was my 6th. It was my first year in school and so the first one where a bunch of kids were invited. And a lot of kids showed up. Sounds good, right? Problem was my alcoholic mother was in no way equipped to deal with a houseful of little kids and parents she didn’t know. So she was taking frequent trips to…

So many of the people who were caught are new money. They don’t know the rules.

So, just so we’re clear, the media is seeking to keep Bernie out by... giving him more press coverage than any other candidate and pointedly leaving Warren out. And the DNC’s choice was Harris... so they set up a system in which she’d be ignored and pushed aside while vanity candidates like Yang, Williamson, and…

while Warren looks somewhat strong with a muddled plan.

The DNC does not want Bernie. Bernie’s big idea to reform the DNC is to fucking fire everybody and run candidates on “principle,” that principle appearing to be whether or not they agree with his economic plans, regardless of literally any fucking thing else.

Also, the real irony is Sanders backers who (understandably) complain about erasure when they are lumped together as a group with the bros, even as they themselves erase Warren supporters by lumping them all in together with the wealthy liberals.

• Amanda Bynes is engaged! [Page Six]

I’m leaving this as a burner comment because I’m drunk and I want to say this out loud but I barely know how. I’ve been single for over four years now. One of the main reasons for this is because I am a carrier for an STI. Because of this I haven’t pursued any casual relationships, I feel like I really want to trust…

I’d been with my on/off-again boyfriend for about two years and we were in an off-but-still-boning phase. We were both in grad school and Valentine’s was on a Wednesday, so it felt like we should do something since we’d been together-ish awhile, but not anything too fancy since weren’t technically together. He…

This time we’ve got a frontrunner with a slim lead (Bernie) with two conservative Dems on his heels, splitting votes.

I love both Leslie Jones and Christian Siriano, Leslie for being her always and Christian not only for making amazing lewks like this (and also making amazing lewks for all body types), but also inviting Leslie specifically because he knows she’s going to bring that level of enthusiasm and glee that is sorely lacking…
