It’s part of police culture to blame the victims of past shootings for their own deaths.

One minute later:

I took active shooter training multiple times for my job in Pennsylvania, and every time the advice is to hide and wait for law enforcement to rescue you, not to try and engage your assailant until there’s no other option.

That happens, but not nearly as much as american politicians wax on about it. It’s pretty much exclusively older rich people who need elective procedures like knee and hip replacements and don’t want to wait a few months for them (because of our aging population, there is a bit of log jam for geriatric issues) and can…

Blah blah blah... All I noticed was the Finns wrote complete sentences using proper grammar and punctuation on a social media platform. Can we include their evil socialized education in the discussion, too?

Historically, the best solution to people like this is the guillotine.

Canadian here, my wife gave birth last year... We received free ultrasounds and prenatal testing throughout, free access to midwifery care, free access to a birth centre that was like a hotel suit with a fireplace and a tub. My wife had complications, we were transferred to a hospital (for free), had an emergency…

Got beaten by my(now ex) boyfriend for an hour. Waited 12 hours in the ER. Cried because I was in so much pain and my back hurt every time I took a breath because part of the beating included him kicking me and throwing me against the wall, repeatedly. Finally saw a doctor who asked me if my voice was normally really…

when rich people hear that we want everyone to get equal access to healthcare, they naturally assume that means they’ll have to suffer the way we do, because they know that their extreme wealth depends fundamentally on our poverty

Dibs on her oars! Oh, wait...

It’s time to embrace her pre-determined destiny anyways: angling for coverage in People magazine for her marriage to Steve Guttenberg’s nephew

I saw her open for Sleater-Kinney in 2015. And it’s been true love ever since she produced a basket full of baked goods and started throwing cookies into the crowd.

Our pediatrician does not accept patients who refuse to vaccinate because he’s an actual doctor. My daughter has a classmate with an active case of chickenpox (parents didn’t vaccinate on the *religious* exemption) and they are FURIOUS that she isn’t being allowed back to school for a month. She is covered in welts…

Stop Draggin’ My Scarf Around

Fun fact, some Tax Law classes teach a case involving Stevie Nicks where she tried to write off her shawls and stage costuming, claiming that she could only get one use out of each outfit due to her sweating under the stage lights. My professor referred to it as the “Stevie Nicks is a Sweaty Pig Case.”

If I were old and rich, a shawl vault would be the least weird thing I would do.

Agreed.  My reaction to the headline was pretty much “Yeah, that checks out.”

Perhaps the whitest thing I’ll say this year: I’m taking my mother to see Fleetwood Mac at TD Garden for her birthday.

I was hoping she would have a name for each one. “Come Esmeralda, I choose you today.”

This is about the level of crazy that I would hope for, if not need, from her
