… and this is why I discourage my mother from making long political rants on Facebook. I hate Trump as much as she does. I follow all the same liberal causes she does. But I know that simply shouting my beliefs in other peoples' faces isn't going to convert a single person to my cause.

It depends on the other person and their situation, I would say. There are people I've been in relationships with who I'd be totally comfortable saying that to. There are others that I wouldn't.

Wow, well that was a nostalgia trip.

I have watched Hail, Caesar! twice and enjoyed it thoroughly on both occasions.

Mind blown!

Her parents met on the set of a porno. Her story basically goes downhill from there.

Heh, I was even going to say "Never Eat Shredded Wheat" but wondered if it was too much of a regional thing for people to get.

Fan2stic Beasts

They're twice as expensive as regular women, and numerous scientific studies have failed to establish that they're any better. You will, however, feel much smugger about having picked them up.
