I agree, I found the performances technically stunning but kind of boring. I went back and watched Brian Boitano’s 1988 gold medal performance on Youtube and it still gets my heart pounding. Not so much because of his artistry (I recall Boitano was known more for his athleticism) but because he put his whole heart and…

I agree, but at the same time, one reason they moved toward this form of scoring is to make it less subjective. I’m not saying this system is perfect by any means, but it is based on more objective measures than artistry: you do the jumps correctly and you get points, each jump style is worth a different amount of…

Saw a story on PBS Newshour tonight. It was horrifying to listing to the woman describe her experiences with being denied over and over again for a home mortgage, despite her obvious financial qualifications. What a world, what a world! https://www.revealnews.org/article/for-people-of-color-banks-are-shutting-the-door-…

Ban dogs AND children. Why not both?

Let’s not pretend that Amazon and other companies are allowing people to bring their dogs into work because they care about employee happiness. They are doing it because employees will work longer hours if they don’t have to go home to take care of their dogs.

In response to Trumps tweet.

The enemy of my enemy is not my friend.

This story is as baffling as it is horrifying. This woman, by her own admission, chose to cruelly kill her pet. But she claims someone else suggested that she do it, and she feels really bad about it, so she’s certain she’s the real victim here.

Please, fellow progressives, I’m begging you: Ignore this. Just ignore it. That is the one thing Trump doesn’t want here.

I never ask people to take me out for dinner or do a big celebration for me when it’s my birthday or anything of that sort. I don’t like putting unnecessary burdens on folks when I can do it myself.

So I really liked Person of Interest and then I found out about Caviezel being hardcore antichoice and it ruined it a little bit. It did.

What is this thing we are doing now where we blame elected Democrats for the fact that OTHER DEMOCRATS WERE NOT ELECTED?

I read a BBC version of this article and saw this:

I sincerely hope 20-something years from now this little girl, now a full grown woman, has an eureka moment and say to this guy “You were a police officer, a figure of authority with the task of serve and protect. You had my mom right in front of you, in desperate need of help. And your answer to that human being,…

Trump and the GOP’s dismantling of the ACA, resulting in the loss of Medicaid expansion, cuts more than a million people off from access to drug addiction treatment programs.

Maybe Rae Bees isn’t the best assumed name for someone who wants to own animals.

Be... sure.... to... drink... your... Ovaltine!

People also need to remember that THIS is a very good wedge issue. Yeah, 70% of Americans support a path to legalization for dreamers and yeah many more support universal healthcare but talk to many of them about abortion and THAT is what they vote on. It is really hard to talk to those Americans and that is also why…

I’m not a huge country fan (save Kacey Musgraves who still doesn’t have her own tour!!), but.. Isbell is awesome.
