I guess you haven’t seen these...

No shit on that second paragraph. I tried to use the linked Bloomberg piece regarding the middle class to finally convince my wife that we are, in fact, at or near the 1% whether she would like to admit it or not. Nope! Still “scrimping and saving.” We are in our mid-30's and met with our financial planner (god I hate…

Not even. The Goo Goo Dolls were a punk-ish Replacements-style outfit turned straight up lite rock that your mom listens to when she fills the hot tub, lights the candles and breaks out the toolbox of dildos. There’s not a single song in their discography that one would honestly call “post-grunge.” They’re not even a…

Trick question. It’s not food, it’s medical waste.

I just don’t know why we still feel the need to retreat into pro and anti porn factions, y’all. Women face exploitation and violence in every profession. And the entire entertainment industry is built on those practices. We should talk about those problems and advocate for performers in these industries. For every…

A note on VCA. They pay significantly less than locally owned places. My fiance (an emergency vet) was recently interviewing for jobs when we moved. She had four offers, two from VCA and two from independent hospitals. Both VCA offers were nearly $30K less than the two independently owned hospitals. You can imagine…

I do want it said and again and again how this has nothing to do with conventional politics. Trump isn’t just wrong or bad (or even primarily wrong or bad) because he’s a Republican. He’s bad because he’s just a shitty human being who just so happens to have hijacked politics.

He’d probably still call them “Sandpeople.”

I say we take away pensions and healthcare of congress members and see what happens.

lawmakers don’t gaf about anyone unless it affects them personally. reactionary garbage.

Obligatory response right back to them:

Yeah. That’s called the financial markets recovering from the financial crisis. And Obama’s ability to tax high earners was obviously constrained by a Republican Congress. Idiot.

I agree in theory, but we also should realize that politics and religion (I’d also add science and race) are among the topics most Americans understand the least. As opposed to never discussing those topics with them, I’d suggest we focus on educating our kids on those more so that when they are able to vote, they…

Don’t try and kinkshame Jabba.

A tax code shouldn’t be based entirely on the lowest common denominator, because a completely unnuanced flat-rate either takes too much hair off lower incomes or treats higher incomes as if they’re helplessly living on as fragile margins as the poor. Your first 9k is precious no matter who you are, and the 100k you…
