Only marginally less bad faith than the disingenuous framing of Abrams’s comments are Brian Kemp’s proposals to combat inflation, which would make Truss blush:

First Grade thru 12th grade Catholic school for me. Then in Senior year, I asked priest why non-Christians who followed all Christian beliefs, except for Jesus as son of God, never went to Heaven. His response,”they aren’t Catholic”. My reply, “neither was Jesus”. Sent to Principal and had to make confession for…

Don’t even get me started on Lent. You give up one of your absolute favorite foods (or favorite vices, but almost everyone picks a food) to show your holiness.

Manufacturers state the same thing about not needing to manually rinse dishes in most cases—our ten year old dishwasher has it right in the instruction manual (remember those?).

It isn’t just about saving water.  There’s a functional reason why. More modern dishwashers have sensors which measure the amount of solid…

I know, but it helps me sleep at night to think what goes around comes around.

This is hilarious! I am married to a lineworker, and I have never heard of this, perhaps because I don’t bother with TikTok, or perhaps because my husband doesn’t chase storms but just works eleventy billion hours a week locally. I work my own eleventy billion hours a week at my own job, so I’m definitely not packing…

In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people unhappy and has been generally regarded as a bad move.

Problem: The water table in Florida is extremely low. You can’t go burying important cables in what amounts to porous, constantly moist sand that much of the state is built on.

Once again, social media is living up to its promise of showing us the fascinating lives of others.

Wasn’t concern about lawyers & government dictating care (which, of course leads inevitably to death panels /s) one of the foundations of the GOP’s hysteria about the ACA?

That’s how the death panels start. You know, the ones conservatives keep worrying about.

Thank you for this beautiful tribute. As someone who works with abortion providers, I am often in awe of their selflessness, their empathy, and their commitment to their patients’ physical and emotional well-being. It’s important to celebrate that humanity in the face of all the vilification from the right.

Audra, this is beautifully written. I’m so thankful you got to meet and know Carol. I never did, but I was trained by someone who worked for her and have had the honor to meet several folks who worked at the Center for Choice in the 80s and 90s. My abortion care training in the early aughts followed the Center for…

Ted Cruz was right.... Christ, its like drinking a shot of Malort in verbal form.

Remember this: children do not ask to be born. Children do not choose their parents. Children do not consent to adoption, or foster care, or being raised fundie, or being stuck in abusive households, or poverty, or or or…

Against the cops or against the mothers for being at the protests and endangering the unborn child?  In Red States, it will be the latter.

There’s no hate like Christian love.

The most frustrating part of these online hate campaigns is how damn effective they are. The woman needs photos, videos, and a signed confession (which are all just going to be dismissed even if she has it) and all an abuser needs is to say “Nope I didn’t do it” and people go welp he said he didn’t do it, she must be…

As executive orders go this is pretty robust but also doesn’t appear to pander by including provisions sure to get tossed by courts instantly. To get much more than this, Democrats need to do something they probably aren’t going to do any time soon, which is create more margin for error in Congress and win some…

I do believe that John Roberts holds the respectability of the Court in high esteem, and wants his legacy to be that of a respected Chief Justice who ruled over a perfect little milquetoast era that will look boring and innocuous 100 years from now when viewed through the veil of history.
