I thought it was funny, and apt. I especially liked the book club comment! ROFL Mayor Pete is selling his charm, and honest-to-goodness bonafides (Rhodes Scholar, Veteran) but is light on policy. But, I don’t expect Mayor Pete to be heavy on policy, and that’s because of these “nerdy” ways you charmingly pointed out.…

Anti-vaxxers is just mean!!! I mean, if you’re using your cast iron pan correctly, you’re not being a grotty slut not using soap. Besides, it’s not like a little dish soap is going to save me from anything that’s going to survive when I pan-roast at 450F.

I was screaming at this being called an “impropriety” like instead of raping a teenager he wore white after labor day.

As a white working class voter in the Midwest, who’s volunteered for the DNC for 25+ years we need to do more for our voters of color. They are undoubtedly taken for granted here. We’ll call it a 19th-century survey technique (Northwest Ordinance) and subsequent incorporation laws, that made the Midwest especially a…

The answer of how, seems to be a statute of limitations. But I will say this, for facts not changing in a case at all, things sure do read differently today than they did 17 years ago. https://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/03/nyregion/back-in-class-former-priest-once-accused-of-impropriety.html

I have a son with really severe autism. In the early days, I was in that research- everything-and-make-sense-of-this , and I stumbled onto the autism “biomed” group, where McCarthy is a bastion of hope. It’s truly a horrifying community and the abuse that they subject their children to in the name of a “cure” would…

I spent a couple of days browsing lists this year because I absolutely could not think of something to give my mom that hasn’t been done (like another Pandora bracelet charm.) But, my mom doesn’t cook, isn’t responsible for the cleaning, and has more robes than a 5-star hotel, oh and she doesn’t drink alcohol, tea nor…

I don’t think so. But I think it was brilliant, now there are a zillion gossip posts about the un-follows which brings more attention to their list. A lot more effective than just publishing a list!  

You can stop clutching your pearls, I think Diana would agree. This is a thing they are doing for a reason, and that reason has zip to do with family drama. The official follow list for the Sussex account will highlight organizations that promote mental health, as May is mental health month. It’s going to read like a…

I disagree with the title. By all means let her write it, especially for CNN, whom her father blasts every chance he gets. But then her article then gets to be fact-checked, rebutted, and systematically demolished in public. As Prachi Gupta is doing here, as is being done elsewhere. The counter-arguments will draw…

I’ve never said not to criticize Biden. There’s a difference between your argument and this whole week of harping on non-apologies that Jezebel has served us up.  Yes, it needs to be said, but..ok already, we get it.

It is the time to be self-righteous, but it’s ALWAYS the time to be practical. Purity tests aren’t practical. We’re never going to find a perfect candidate. Practical is looking at the fact that only 27-28% of Democrats actually disapprove of Biden’s treatment of Anita Hill. Biden doesn’t feel he acted maliciously. So…

I actually looked at posts before I opened my big mouth, did you? I would say that folks saying they are OVER this particular rehashing is part of the discussion. However, it seems to be one that you don’t want to hear, so you feel like you can shout them down into silence, because you don’t want to hash it..umm pot…

I’m certainly not condoning or overlooking his behavior. Nor am I pro (or anti) Biden. But, I don’t think to rehash it over and over like this is going to change anyone’s minds. Personally, I think he’s not apologizing on purpose, as a strategy. A Vox article (https://www.vox.com/2019/4/26/18517945/joe-biden-called-an…

The Biden tag shows 5 this week. https://jezebel.com/tag/joe-biden I said centered around this issue, they do cover others in the same theme (apology, treatment of women,) but she’s a big argument in 5.

Discussion is great, not being Pro-Biden is fine. I’m just not sure we need 5 articles in one week centered around Biden and Anita Hill. To be honest, I agreed with the comment preceding yours.  Give us something new to talk about at least in your bashing.  

The thing is, I don’t think they are supporting policy at all.  I think it’s mainly emotional voting, as it was with Trump...

I’m yet undecided, but I can say what I think are his strong points in terms of electability. These are not necessarily reasons I would support him, just what I think is going on in the big picture.

The McDonald’s for not being little assholes is called differential reinforcement, which is a godsend method with my son. Here you reward appropriate and expected behavior. When negative behavior is shown there is no reward. It’s not about doing better, it’s more about stopping negative behavior. Works well with my…

Instead of living on antibiotics for years, why not just culture the bacteria and see what antibiotic works best?
