Counterpoint - we shouldn’t look to pornography to normalize anything. If we’re looking for it to normalize condom usage, it should probably work on its depiction/treatment of women as sex-hungry tools for man’s enjoyment, with little to no agency over their bodies.

...file a lawsuit against porn workers deemed to be in violation of it, requiring their real names and addresses to become part of the public record.

I voted against Measure B when I lived in LA County. So many porn stars were out advocating against it. My understanding was that condoms just aren’t meant to hold up for what porn actors do and that using condoms can lead to small abrasions that make it more likely for actors to get infections. LA County lost…

This is an excellent example of how initiatives in general are just bad policy and shouldn’t exist. This is a law that enables a special interest group to harass porn actors who didn’t set their employers’ policies with lawsuits, but most voters are likely to see it as “do I think condoms should be required for porn…

Holy fuck. I hate when Judges get killed. To me, it’s like killing the whole concept of justice. My sympathies to the Judge’s family and to Mexico. This is seriously terrible. 

Congrats on the half!!

Congrats on the full! I had an absolute blast. Getting to see the moon set and the sun rise over the bridge?! So beautiful! The miles just flew by. I felt bad for friends doing the full who had major blisters from the rain. I was home eating a bagel by the time the deluge began.

Congrats! I ran the full there too. So thankful that the rain held off as long as it did. My favorite signs were in the Canada portion with entries like “Is it November 9th already?”

Everyone thought you needed cardio for the Zombie Apocalypse. It turns out you needed it more for the Trump presidency.

Michelle Obama gives a speech with such honesty that Republican and Democrat alike are floored for days and can do nothing but slow clap.

Melania gives an interview where she dutifully repeats the talking points that imply her husband was a 59 year old ‘boy’ subject to peer pressure, and there are protests in the…

I ran the Detroit half-marathon Sunday. There were tons of spectators, many with signs, so I saw lots of variations on “Run like Trump is Trying to Grab Your Pussy.” Seeing one around mile 12 did help put a little pep in my step.

“People ask me, gosh, what was it like to conquer Mount Everest? Well I did not conquer Mount Everest. She lifted her skirt and I got in there and got a peek and it was really cool.”

Must be nice to live in a solidly blue state. You probably don’t have to worry about getting shot at or run off the road for having a “Hillary” bumper sticker on your car. I wish I were using hyperbole here, but I’m not.

My cousin, who is a pretty smart dude AND HAS HIS Ph.D. IN PUBLIC POLICY, advanced this argument. I was pretty disappointed.

There are a zillion good reasons why neither one of these people should be president, but it’s not gonna work on anyone who wants to say shit like “I live in a solidly blue state, so I have the luxury of voting with my conscience and choosing the candidate I think is best fit for the job, and that’s Dr. Stein.”

I voted already by mail but plan to volunteer as a poll worker for this very reason. I live in a majority Republican part of CA and see plenty of Trump signs and want to go report any of those fucks if they start intimidating people.

Can I say that I’m genuinely concerned about the safety of voters this year without sounding paranoid? I’ve never been scared to vote before but since Dipshit Trashfire has singled out my area as one of the ones “stealing the election” I’m getting in and out of there as fast as possible.

Same. The turning point was when my entire family joined and started oversharing like it’s 2008.

Oh this is the truest. Some of my mine
