Ooh, you’re good.

This is a truly compassionate time to support this law, considering how many people just had their important paperwork turned into a pulpy mess in the flood waters.

Oh, they had two backup generators! But some genius apparently put them where they could be easily flooded. In a city that has been flooded multiple times. In a factory that was right next to two big water sources that could (and did) overflow their boundaries.

My parents did something similar (my grandmother’s maiden name for me) and I LOVED it. I was really into the associated culture as a kid too, more so than my brothers.

Police also claimed the Charlottesville killer was “just scared,” before footage surfaced of him flying through two empty blocks to hit the protestors.

At least one story I saw said there was evidence of “intentional dismemberment” as well as some sort of effort to allow gases from decay to escape so the torso wouldn’t float.

THIS! I was laughing in horrified glee until it suddenly ended and she was not telling the joke I thought she was telling.

That appears to be a statue of a Zombie Robert E Lee.

I am so, so sorry. I can’t imagine how hard this must be, but maybe it can be some tiny piece of solace to know you’re protecting your children from the confusion and heartache of loving someone who values politics over loved ones.

I totally need to do this! I didn’t even think of it, but with fitted sheets you wouldn’t see the bottom bit anyway.

I still remember the first time I sa the Stephen Foster statue. I remember thinking “hooooly shit, that looks..... very racist.” And you’re right, the info marker at the site does not help.

Can someone make bedsheets charms? I am so sick of pulling sheets out of the dryer and going “uhhh is this a queen, full, or king?” For some reason most of the sheets I own don’t list the size on the label.

I know I’m dating myself here, but I feel like twenty years old is a baby. The courage of young people like him, and the young kids facing down a crowd of torch-bearing madmen, is nothing short of amazing.

It’s amazing to me that we apparently need to ban burqa because they’re soooo dangerous, but people showing up on the streets in full on riot gear and surplus military armor is perfectly fine.

Thank you!

Fucking hell, does anyone know if the poor guy has a gofundme for medical expenses? Maybe we need a general victims-in-Charlottesville fund.

Conservatives are slooooowly moving towards admitting the weather is changing, because they can’t deny it anymore. Their excuse is “it’s fine, all fine, and caused by natural processes anyway!”

She probably didn’t at the time. Holding back tears to comfort your child is a common parental reaction.

My family once found half of a dead song bird in a box of salad mix. (Sadly discovered AFTER everyone ate some.)

Yeah, I didn’t know what white phosphorus was when they reported using it in Syria. So I searched for it and up in the side bar popped some unbelievably disturbing photos that have stayed with me to this day. You just don’t ever unsee those.
