Especially since the shooting happened at a public event at which the press were supposed to be present. He was literally taking pictures of the Ambassador opening the exhibition seconds before he was taking pictures of the killer.

So let me get this right - when Christians refuse to serve LGBT customers that’s perfectly reasonable and anyone stopping them is oppressing them; when Jewish people refuse to become customers and give their money to someone who wants to treat them as less than white Christian people that’s terrible and evil and they…

Lack of diversity is just a bad plan for woodland anyway besides everything you’ve pointed out because if a disease hits and your trees are all one species you are likely to lose the lot, completely destroying the habitat. At least if it’s a mix you still have woodland while you wait for it to be safe to replant…

It sounds like it and I am praying it’s not her daughter as well. I mean it’s tragic for whoever’s 4 year old is in critical condition but if it’s the bride who it looks like has already lost her mother...

The first line suggests he was fired for saying Sandy Hook was a hoax, he wasn’t. He was fired for harassing the parents and acting like an utter asshole. He might have had a case for getting his job back if all he’d done was claim it was a hoax; it was the harassment that got him canned and the harassment that meant…

Diagnosis Murder always seems to be on somewhere too.

There’s very little he can do in the White House that he can’t also do from Hawaii.

I didn’t say they weren’t significant, I was saying it was an insignificant percentage of the overall DNA that came from a third person. And I was only acknowledging that because I was making the point that it isn’t zero percent and didn’t want people to misunderstand and think I was saying it was a lot of DNA.

The procedure is only of any use to women with mitochondrial disease so there isn’t any reason for it to be used for non medical reasons. The child still only has two legal parents so it makes no difference for poly families at all.

Well our head of state is an accident of birth and our first female head of state (that was accepted by everyone, because I’d argue Matilda was but she never got to really rule) was 1558 so I don’t think the gender of our head of state has much to do with how progressive or not we are.

According to the report on the news there is actually 0.1% DNA from the donor, which is totally an insignificant amount, but not the same as none.

But these were *bad* fries and that is a crime against everything good and American. So, Pence.

Related terms include the well known Traffic Womble (the Highways Agency people who cone off anything that wasn’t serious enough for the police) and the actual Wombles who are very useful rubbish gathering creatures who have been known to release singles.

Sadly events up here get crowded too. Every year I consider going to Lincoln Christmas Market and then every year I decided the crowds freak me out too much and since it’s a bit of a drive to get to Lincoln it’s not worth going and then bailing out immediately.

My condolences on your loss. I sincerely hope you have a better 2017.

You need to take care of yourself, I went through a period of this after the election when my depression completely destabilised. For me once I managed to climb out of the pit I found focussing on my anger and things I can do, even if that’s mostly signing things or talking with other people right now since I’m not in…

It’s important to not hide your head in the sand but that doesn’t mean you can’t take a mental health break and focus on christmas movies or cat videos* or whatever makes you happy when you need to. Staying so well-informed you end up curled up under a blanket rocking backwards and forwards in despair doesn’t do…

To be fair in the UK the Tories just elected someone who hates feminists to the Women and Equalities Committee, so you know I’m not really getting to sit on the high ground here sadly.

Do you guys have an equivalent of the Equalities ministry?

Totally irrelevant but I just noticed your username. I love it!
