Oh, thank you. I think my generation just accepted all our favourite characters living singular existences and never really questioned beyond that.

As someone who has a tiny human, Yes that’s actually Elmo’s dad and he’s not a main character but does make occasional appearances 

Here’s a photo of Darwin winning at Life to help counteract the darkness of the last weeks:

It’s been a long time I’ve watched Sesame Street. I thought that was Telly. Does Elmo’s father regularly appear, or is this a new development?

I’m know how to throw a proper punch. I’ve met many men in my life who swear they could “crack skulls” and “lay down the law” if they needed to.

arguing that this mass grassroots uprising against police brutality and white supremacy is actually some sort of top-down conspiracy coordinated by wealthy elites

A hard lesson that I’m still learning is you don’t have to engage with the bullshit every minute. It’s ok to step back and take care of yourself. All the horror going on around us is exhausting, depressing, maddening. But we’re not all responsible all the time for fixing all the bad things. Take time to enjoy the good…

Yes.  their response should have been “Fascism is not acceptable as a reasoned argument.”

The people who agree with Tom Cotton already hate the NYT so there was absolutely no point in printing it. Even if the Times went full Washington Examiner, the audience they’re trying to pander to still would say the Times are a far left rag controlled by George Soros.

That choad has a neck made for a guillotine if I ever saw one.

Gov. Orval Faubus, a racist Democrat

Hey he tried his best and faced legal repercussions while showing what Iraqis thought of their “liberators,” let’s cut the man some slack. Great Twitter follow too.

Corrected (thank you, Mike Beauvais).

One of the shitty parts is that it wouldn’t even have to be missing the point if the idea behind it was genuinely coming from a good place. If “Black Lives Matter” was met with “Oh shit, well I believe all lives matter, so how can I help?” it wouldn’t be an issue. But the fact is, people use “all lives matter” as a ret…

Or even “all diseases matter.” “Yes, cancer is bad, but what about the common cold? Why aren’t we talking about the victims of that disease?” 

Yup, it is “whataboutism” at its worse. Person A brings up an issue person B does not want to fix, so person B changes the discussion from that issue to a totally different one, derailing the conversation. Person B does this because they know that disagreeing with Person A on the issue substantively is ghoulish and…
