This is a good point. But also, it reminded me of the melodramatic Wizard Chess scene in the first Harry Potter movie, and that made me laugh. So thanks for that. :)

Because no one would ever care if a stripper or a call girl said she was sexually assaulted... *sigh*

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but I think it’s pretty clear that he’s trying to minimize what he said before and avoid repeating certain, erm, buzzwords while on camera. Words like “rapist.”

And maybe, possibly, probably-not-but-maybe, you’ll have your life absolutely RUINED and will be forced to remain one of the most powerful and influential federal judges in the country instead of getting a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, an honor to which you are clearly entitled. But they can’t just go…

YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE SHOWING, YOU IDIOT, NOT TELLING. THIS IS FREAKING SHOWTIME RIGHT FREAKING NOW. NEVER WAS THERE A MORE GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO FREAKING SHOW HER YOUR APPRECIATION!

Pro tip: When you want to link to a product on Amazon, all you need is amazon.com/dp/1234567890. Or in this case, amazon.com/dp/B071LGPLPW. ;)

Ew, I hate that cover. How did they make such a listenable song so absurdly unlistenable???

Honestly, I was a bit surprised when Harron claimed that the social circles she runs in “as a trans woman who lives in New York and works in media” would vastly prefer Cardi B to Maroon 5. I don’t doubt that Cardi is popular among that crowd, but she has a history of transphobic commentary, so I’d think that if…

I had the exact same problem, so I finally made a burner that I used for a little while, but then suddenly I couldn’t log into the burner, and yet, lo and behold, I could finally log back into my original account. It’s crazy!

FWIW, you sound like an incredible mom. I’m glad you were able to find the resources you needed to help you help your daughter and maybe even hold onto your sanity at the same time. :)

Huh, sounds like their parents did a pretty good job... with most of them. Heh heh. 😬

I KNEW IT! 🤣

What? Of course it they don’t care; no one’s disputing that! Clearly this is 100% a PR issue to them, and they’re not even concerned about how it makes them look so much as how this ~look~ affects their income.

I am so sorry. That realization must have been agonizing. If there’s any kind of ranting you need to get out of your system, I’ll gladly listen; I know I’m just some random internet stranger, but I believe you and I care. <3

Given your parents’ upbringing, I gotta know: How many siblings do YOU have?

But like, her whole premise is that most families don’t fight at Thanksgiving? I mean, maybe not openly... Everything about that call was bizarre to me.

Sorry to hear your husband had to be told that you wouldn’t be supporting his cousin’s public fight against basic human decency. 😕

That must be why he wasn’t in the ad – because his high profile would be a distraction. I wonder who the other two are. And a couple things about the siblings we did see:

On the other hand, it’s clearly been demonstrated that the Republican Party has no qualms about brazen hypocrisy, so maybe this as will freak people out anyway. And more importantly, I think, it will make an impression on those who aren’t already committed.

Maybe not most vaginas, but supposedly* this woman gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets. I think the simple fact that she was able to survive so many births of multiples without the benefits of modern medicine is a testament to the industrial strength and resilience of her vag! …
