Why? People not in prison do not have any of those things given to them for free. Why should law abiding citizens, 50% of whom live paycheck to paycheck and are in debt over their head, pay for any of that?

But the question is, violent criminals or not, are we ever going to let them out. And if the answer is yes, then why do we try as hard as we can to treat them like animals?

Ah, yes. I had forgotten. He does start to come off as a WWE performer. And yet, compared to the Trumpster fire, it’s still amazing that THIS is what derailed Dean’s chances.

But why? What purpose does it serve? Revenge, yes. And if that’s all you care about then I guess we have no point of agreement from which to argue.

Yes, very. This is literally the first I’ve heard of it.

I played with my daughter and then knitted in the bedroom for a bit and then took a long shower. When it was over, I read my Twitter feed, felt relieved that it went pretty well, and went to bed.

it makes me want to cry.

How much better could our society be if we treated prisoners not only like human beings but actually like citizens? We expect them to serve their time and then rejoin society, but we completely dehumanize them the entire time they’re in prison. What purpose does that serve?

I just watched the “yeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhh” clip like three times, and my reaction is “that’s it?” I remember it being... crazier? I think all of our perspectives on crazy have changed radically over the last year.

That’s so surprising, I didn’t even bother to check.

Yeah, they’re now recommending anyone around kids and especially babies get a booster if they haven’t had one in ten years.

It’s a tough read. I just skimmed over it again. She mentions at one point that her daughter hadn’t slept more than 2 hours at a time in MONTHS. How is that healthy? Idiot!

I read that 3 months is normal. This lady’s kids took SIX MONTHS to get better. She was likely making them worse with her essential oil enemas and other nonsense!

We did that with my elderly in-laws--moved them into assisted living. And actually, it was their idea to move. As they’ve gotten older and more senile, they occasionally accuse some of us of “stealing their stuff,” but we just dismiss it and move on, knowing they are so much better off now.

What he did was horrific, and I’m sure they’re disgusted by it, but the other co-stars of that show have every right to ALSO hate him for making it impossible for them to ever get any more sweet syndication residuals. Ditto Cosby Show co-stars.

Ah-- thanks. I should have looked it up. Sigh. It is hard to keep them straight.

Here’s a story about a “naturopath” mother who allowed her 3 kids to be very, very, scarily sick for MONTHS with whooping cough, and at the end of it all, declared victory that her kids had “real and natural” immunity for the sickness. These kids were turning blue. It was child abuse in my opinion! And she never did…

Yeah it takes some guts to do a very public mea culpa. And I hope it reaches some other stubborn people. I can’t hate on her.

I was about to scroll past the headline, thinking “why are they still covering the mall shooting (in Oregon)?” (Which. Remember when a mass shooting WAS a big enough deal to cover for days?) And then I saw Houston. Fuck. Another one. It never ends.

Trump will return the tobacco industry to its thriving growth of the 1950s!
