Great news for once and exceptional reporting, thanks. I heard someone say the main problem with abortion rights is that it’s treated as a political issue rather than one of medical privacy. Every medical decision a woman makes is between she (Her? Self-grammar police here) and her doctor. This metric needs to change…

Yeah but coal mining is pretty sweet if you own a coal mining company.

Exactly. Now, if we could just bring in factories producing solar panels or wind turbines and retrain the coal miners to work there for better conditions, safety, and future for their families . . . nah, that would make too much sense. And plus, the GOP would have to admit that climate change exists.

I’m not an expert, and not out to insult anyone, but isn’t coal mining a “bad” job in a lot of ways? Like the pay is bad, you can get black lung, it’s very unsafe other reasons that are escaping me now.

wow I can’t believe my coworkers didn’t tell me we have a vineyard

It’s true, but it’s also true that she said she stopped wearing makeup because of the unrealistic expectations for appearance that women face, so wearing makeup and pretending you aren’t wearing makeup is just as bad as photoshop and crazy contouring in terms of setting up unreasonable expectations for how women…

I assume you’re never been a billionaire businessman and genius engineer either.

Wait .. Wasn’t Michael Keaton Birdman?

So you only see films where the protagonist is exactly like you?

I find that pizza and beer do a pretty good job of making my ass bigger.

Just ignorance. People don’t understand the sheer volume of shit that can go wrong and think they can just get anyone to inject some stuff into their butts to make them bigger, so when someone offers to do it cheaply they’re in.

More than cement

I can’t speak for her, but in my younger years, I identified as Republican. My parents were Republicans. I was a business major in college. I grew up in an evan gelical fundamentalist household. I believed in the free market taking care of social problems. In college, I became more socially progressive, but…

...until Donald Trump’s regime came along and called for a ban on Muslims and expressed support for Japanese internment camps.

I suspect it’s because they courted her very aggressively. Up until 2017 when they realized they could be openly racist and still win elections with no consequences whatsoever, the Republican Party THOUGHT that they had to keep their bigotry on the downlow to get anywhere and so they were always really really eager to…

I was thinking the same at first read, but then I wondered if maybe the political climate in a state that is majority non-white and has only 5 Republicans in the state leg., trends so far left that to be a Republican in Hawaii means that one is a true Republican - fiscally conservative, etc...

Don’t many of the people who do this do it because they were up to something they shouldn’t have been, so they bring out the all-purpose, big, black, boogeyman to deflect from whatever they were up to? Sounds like she was cheating and decided that this was the way to save her engagement, because she’s a fucking…

I’ve never understood the compulsion to lie about being sexually assaulted, especially when it involves such elaborate set-up work as it does here.

I’m Reform, but my brother is Orthodox and he never misses an opportunity to tell me I’m not a “real” Jew. We are currently estranged. I hope with all my heart that this isn’t a similar situation where certain Jewish organizations were targeted for not being observant enough. Similarly, I pray that this wasn’t a…

McIntosh looks...exactly like I’d expect from the son of a politician who supported Trump. Unnatural stance, creepy pose, and waaaaay older than his age.
