I'm sure that Jessica had more than one iron in the fire. She was a liberated woman.

The th probably went directly to f. They get interchanged a lot in various dialects of English (they are acoustically very similar). Also young children substitute f for th a lot, which would make the f version "cute" and nicknamey.

Yeah all my letters to my Congresspeople are along the lines of "I know you already agree with me on this thing, so, uh…keep doing the thing."

I mean, sometimes it really is visible, we're just not very good at seeing brains of alive people yet. (Better than we used to be, but still).

I went to work, but also went to a big-city march in the evening that had huge crowds. It's hard to "strike" on such short notice if you're not actually part of a union that is striking. But I think the organizers acknowledged that, which is why there were alternative ways to participate, from just wearing red to…

I spent a good chunk of my life in Pennsylvania and I still don't understand how the same state can have both Casey and Toomey as Senators at the same time. Someone should really do a study of that; it would yield real insight into the American political environment.

I can't skip work either, but I'm going to a rally after. If anyone's looking for a rally or protest to go to, some are listed here: https://www.womenstrikeus.o…

I cannot begin to describe the childhood dreams and visions that googling and viewing the Seals in Space Trapper Keeper folder re-awakened in my heart. I was promised a future full of majestic marine mammals posing majestically in front of planets and nebulae and such. WHERE IS THE MAJESTY, 2017?

Here's one list of protests: https://www.resistancecalen…

I hope it's one of the ones where it turns out that half the time we see him on stage, he's secretly his twin sister in drag.

<“We’ve been patient this year, but it is past time to act and to act decisively,” said Tim Phillips, the president of Americans for Prosperity, which is coordinating the push with other groups across the Kochs’ political network. “Our network has spent more money, more time and more years fighting Obamacare than…

To be fair, they also need to grow a conscious(ness of the fact that their worldview is outdated and that if they continue to force an extremist agenda when they have a minority of votes then they will eventually get comeuppance).

Look, the Bible very specifically says no singing-and-dancing teacups or clocks with British accents. Before we know it, the Disney Agenda will have turned all of our inanimate objects sentient and prone to musical numbers.

I'm trying to have compassion for my fellow man, even the ones who voted this obviously horrible person into office. But I'm having a very hard time not just being angry at these coal people all the time. How is this the industry that somehow wins? Where "wins" means "enjoys a few more years of relevance during which…

Cogsworth is French, but with an upper-class British accent. And since everyone else in the movie has an American accent, except for Lumiere, I have no choice but to assume that there's some sort of Tolkien-esque language substitution shenanigans going on, and that if Cogsworth is French…

Here it is fact-checked by the Chicago Tribune, for what it's worth.

I actually think we really need to spend more time looking at these problems from a cognitive science perspective, rather than a "problem with this country" perspective.

I just found out that McMaster went to an elementary school run by the same order of nuns who ran mine, which automatically gives him cred in my book.

I am 99% certain that the Count gave directions to Kaufman Studios, where the show is filmed.
