Shut the fuck up with this “dude probably should have read the fine print” stuff. This story is about you.

This whole “OBEY ANY AND EVERY ORDER YOU ARE GIVEN OR YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS ARE FORFEIT” deal aboard airliners is getting really old.

Stories like this occasionally make me understand why someone would willingly choose to drive such a distance than fly. At least then if you don’t reach your destination, it’s usually your own fault rather than something entirely outside your control.

Furiously downloading the SeekingArrangement app.

No. It was guns. The Regressive Party needed some primary voter bait for the April elections and all the incumbents wanted to prove that they how pro-gun they were. But thanks for playing.

Oh, thank you. This reminds me. My shitty state will not adopt federal Real ID (cuz they gunna come take yer guns!!!!! Freeeeedom!) so I need to update all the family passports to do boring shit like fly on air planes, or enter a federal building.

Not really surprised the general public hasn’t equated police settlements with tax dollars and started holding these departments accountable for their behavior. Unless someone in the government literally pickpockets a 20 from them and hands it directly to a brutalized minority I really don’t see anyone giving a shit.…

Jerry Sullivan’s column tomorrow will call him a selfish distraction.

He always seems cool. I like him especially because of this (he’s at the vey end):

Damn. Always one of my favorite Islanders. Bought his jersey real early in his career and still have it.

As a Sabres’ fan, I hope Okposo, as one of only a handful of Sabres worth a damn, gets well soon and is ready to be a part of a much-improved team next year. As someone who has spent some time in a Neuro ICU before, I don’t hold out a lot of hope for that, but I hope he gets well enough to have a long and healthy life.

There are three other factors that need to be considered. First gerrymandering inherently makes it so that more extreme/partisan candidates get elected. The Republicans are better at it, and have more heavily gerrymandered seats, so they’re the ones who get pushed further out of control. Which feeds back into the…

I think this is pretty spot-on and is something I’ve been saying to folks for years now. It really hit home to me in the closing weeks of the 2012 election during the peak of the “unskew the polls” phenomenon. The rubes were eating this shit up as usual, but then it became obvious that plenty of actual power players…

Elections vs. Appointments

Baylor: “Boy, we’re finally overtaking Penn State for most odious institutional breakdown! Our ‘callousness toward victims’ ratings are unprecedented!”

We moved from the city to the burbs, and all my city friends are like single and not wanting to come out by us EVER.

My suburbs friends suck and I have finally taken the advice from the lovely people of Jezebel and left their biased, racist, pearl covered clutches.

So my husband and I are at square one and I feel bad…

Ugh - I can relate to this so much. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of friends, I was really looking forward to having a kid and making parent friends.

But daycare parents are rude as hell and NOT friendly.

I have made one friend, and we also take the train to work together. My husband always tries to initiate plans…
