This is a little outside the issue of the travel ban, but the US embassy in Kabul has stopped visa interviews for Afghan interpreters:

Casey Affleck was brilliant in Manchester by the Sea and absolutely deserved his Oscar.

Watch Duck Dynasty with the sound off?

Yes, I hate when other people know things. What fucking assholes.

It’s not funny, because wages are only part of a person income situation. For example, would you prefer:

A) A 5% increase in wages (going from $10.00 to $10.50/hr); no health care; reduced access to housing (the ultimate wealth creator for most Americans) because of discrimination (and the govt not caring about said…

This morning I read a FB article about a school that had a pool party for 6th graders (11/12 yos) and required only the girls to wear a non-white shirt over their suits. That’s troublesome enough, but then all the comments defending the policy made me concerned for my daughter’s future.

Both teachers and child care providers are two of the most underpaid professions in this country. I get really pissed when people think that teachers are just stand ins for child care providers because even child care providers deserve to be paid 2-3x what they actually make.

The article on that cheerleaders link: Good god. Bikini flyers at a poetry reading? I love the take of the girl from the quote, though: “my daughter says she and her friends liked the poetry but found the flyers mildly disturbing.”

One Adderall and you can do it all.

Why does seven become purple?

I wouldn’t say that the 20 million people who got health insurance for the first time, or the 15 million who found jobs, or the middle class workers who saw the biggest year-over-year earnings jump in history, were screwed by Obama.

There are degrees of right and wrong though. While Democrats certainly aren’t perfect, Obama and the Democrats did some positive things with healthcare, renewables, affordable housing, etc…

This isn’t a blind side hit. It’s incomparable. He sees him coming and, without giving the hitter enough time to react, pull up, change course, or do anything, turns his back to the player. The onus is absolutely on the hitter to deliver a proper check. I’m not arguing that. Even if Enstrom doesn’t turn, it still may…

I like the part where Brown walked back to the bench and didn’t even look at Curry. And also the part where the Warriors lost.

That’s a miserable hit from Sestito. But Enstrom sees him coming and turns his back. NHL guys do that so often. He can brace himself and take the hit in the shoulder if he was smart, but instead he does some crappy move to turn his back at the last second and put himself in a dangerous position.

Just spitballing here, but one way of avoiding this nonsense might be to hand a 10 game suspension to a player who gets recalled and immediately gets a match penalty. There’s no other reason Sestito was called up except to fight and to unleash dirty hits. He’s has no place in the NHL.

Sorry but that smells a lot like the bullshit we heard prior to the Bertuzzi-Moore incident. The Canucks were mad because Moore made a legal, but hard, hit on one of their best players. What the fuck is the NHL supposed to do if the “Code” allows teams to get mad if one of their better players is caught with their…

I’m not sure if you’re being serious. Again:

umm excuse me she is classy did u not read the tweet smh

What a bummer for that dude who has to watch his kids. This is on par with parents who say they are “babysitting”.
