I just watched the new W. Kamau Bell show United Shades of America (which airs on CNN but is so much better than the rest of CNN) and he spent a week at San Quentin. I have to say, after watching that? I’d rather even current inmates get the right to vote than Trump supporters. The lifers at San Quentin were…

I’m in a consulting position at work and I use “I feel like” when I’m posing an opinion vs a recommendation. “I feel like we could go two ways here...” vs “We should do xyz.” The former phrase is so good for opening discourse because it’s obvious that it’s an opinion and it’s open for discussion. I think it’s a…

No, that’s part of the dance to the song in Purple Rain. Gun to your head at “I would die 4" and then point to the audience at ‘U”

Some cars had 8-tracks or cassettes (though the latter would have been an expensive upgrade), but mostly you listened to the radio in the car or at work, and you were stuck with whatever the limited number of stations decided on for a format.

It’s really easy now. Back then, unless you lived in an area where you could pull in multiple large cities, you might have 5 stations to pick from on the radio, and one was probably playing polka, and another country (and not “almost rock”, 70s era C&W) and another was the classical station. Maaaybe you could get a…

I actually “failed” the measurement, which thrilled me. I’d been trying to get Essure for years. Not being a candidate for an IUD meant i had ammunition to finally get fixed.

I’m still frustrated when i think of how many women are turned down for IUDs and sterilization. It took me 10 years to work up the courage to…

the art style is incredible and the main draw of the game imo.

There’s another factor in play here, that radio was the only place at the time to hear new music. No computers, no music television. When all the radio stations switched to the newly popular (and therefore more money-generating) music, there was no place for the rock guys to hear their own music. So it’s also an…

I agree that selective service should be abolished, but since we’re keeping it, I think we should make it universal until such time that we can abolish the draft.

A new Real Housewives of D.C., but it’s just John Boehner smoking cigarettes on a golf course and going to the tanning bed and stirring the pot in Congress by proxy.

This is so fucking mean.

It’s funny but if Asian audiences are so racist they won’t see a movie with Black people as a main character, why isn’t Hollywood making more movies with Asian lead actors? I wonder if anyone can answer this question for me.

Why can’t some Sanders supporters look at one bright side of things — Bernie isn’t going anywhere, even though he’s not going to be the president. He’ll still be in the Senate, with his current term not up until 2018. So he can still, one would hope, be a vocal part of governmental process, working with (most likely)…

Just as with Fair Trade, I think being annoyingly nitpicky with how the term is applied is the only way to keep it from descending into meaningless buzzword status.

Right? These tigers deserve majestic AF names. Like, no offense to my mom and her friends who all have these kinds of names, but those names are just not majestic enough for these adorable baby tigers.

Just saying that doesn’t make it so. The methods that Certified farms use are night and day compared to Monsanto farms (it’s pretty much one or the other around here) and that has clear and important consequences for the people growing our food, and the land and water they use to grow it. I think it’s 7 years without…

If you want to have fun, watch a Republican congressman try to invoke the Hastert Rule without saying "Hastert."

I mean, someone down-thread made an excellent point: this stupid group is composed of exactly the kind of anti-science morons The Honest Company is marketed to, so meh.

So what? Most baby formula isn’t even made from real babies.

Clinton’s favorability levels off in a general election, I think. Liberals think she’s too far right, conservatives think she’s too far left; but this is only because they feel they have other options. When she gets to speak her message to a general electorate (instead of just the left), she’ll be able to show how her…
