tbf, James is kind of an asshat too.

Ellen deserves all the bouquets for being a pioneer, for opening doors for gays, for her hard work, talent and perseverance in making it in Hollywood.

One day we’re going to have to square the circle behind “online leftists are irrelevant dudebros who never accomplish anything” and “online leftists are responsible for every Democratic loss this century.” They can’t possibly both be true!

Yes. I wouldn’t begrudge anyone their excitement over Harris’s selection. I think representation genuinely matters and is important. Also, from a purely political standpoint, she’s a great pick.

The thing is, there are so many different types of parents raising kids who have ASD, and the ones who aren’t crazy don’t get any press. This woman is not some sort of sympathetic face for how hard it is to raise kids with disabilities, she is an outlier who weighed the risks against the benefits and made a poor…

Hello fellow journalist! Please don’t use this construction or similar in the future: “Joshua has the mental development of an elementary school-aged boy.”

This isn’t “a controversial autism treatment.” This is poisoning and child abuse. Whenever people want to “cure” part of your identity, there is often shady shit happening with respect to human rights. Many “treatments”for autism are abusive like witholding food to get the desired behavior. Let people be different and…

Yes, I don’t want to sympathize with these crazies because once you get to the MMS you’ve probably been batshit crazy for awhile, but there is a frustrating lack of good help for parents of kids with autism. There’s like ABA (which is insanely expensive and honestly seems like torture to me), OT (oh don’t have…

I know (if this even gets out of the greys), I’ll be flamed for this, but I’m just SO TIRED:

Dem establishment aside, the people supported and voted for Biden. The US gets the government it deserves, with a majority too brainwashed to understand they’re voting against their own interests (on both sides).

Yeah, sorry, cry me a river but your fertility treatments are not a right, having children is not a right (unless you can naturally conceive them), and yeah it sucks if as a result of the pandemic some people might miss their window for fertility treatments but right now the focus is on postponing all non-emergency…

This sounds like fanfic.

Democrats can do a little sexual assault, as a treat.

Remember how much of the left/center-left treated Monica Lewinsky in the late 90's? And how everyone rallied to defend the creep who was absolutely in the wrong just because he was also the victim of right-wing smears?

If I, who am biologically and self affirmatively female, take hormones to improve my performance, I would be banned for cheating even if I kept the range inside the very top of what considered within range for women.

Maybe it’s about fair competition for college scholarships for female athletes?

I think original comment was made in good faith and not with the intention of “they are confused because they only think they want to be a boy/girl/man/woman”. Probably more along the lines of “its extra confusing when you are trying to figure out who you are in a world that does not recognize your existence”.

I feel like one of the big problems with politics at the moment is a tendency (on all sides) to try and reduce conplex issues to a sound bite that will appeal to your ‘side’. It really cuts down opportunities for communication and compromise.

John Oliver is actually already using the name “Stupid Watergate.”

The British press will never get over the facts that 1) Meghan is black and 2) She didn’t (and doesn’t) need the Royals to make her famous. Anyone marrying into the royal family is supposed to be so incredibly thankful for the chance to be associated with them that they give their entire future to The Country. They’re…
