“I scoured everything I could possibly find about why vaccines might be harmful. I became pretty convinced.”

Well it’s a shame it took her whole family getting sick but it’s refreshing to hear an anti-vaxxer say “I was wrong, I was batshit, I’ve since researched and have changed my mind”.

Libertarianism sounded so good in high school before I went out and actually met them

WHOSAGOODBOY!!!!

I find the whole family extremely unlikeable. It’s been a while since I saw the last season, but that absolutely was my general impression.

I watched Transparent for a while, but I stopped. I just could not stand watching the Maura’s kids.

I was recently listening to a recording of Edward R. Murrow recalling his time in England during WWII (mixed with some of his original broadcasts from then, too). One of the segments was him recalling a story about air raid sirens started going off and how hundreds of people in the crowded streets were simply walking,…

Does the US need a “ — days without the police shooting of an unarmed black man” counter posted to the side of one of our famous buildings?

What, so he organised this bullshit...and let real reporters in...and pretended he’d already taken questions from them...and tried to gaslight them that they had actually asked the fake questions themselves??

One of the worst things about it is that in defending HB2, the NC GOP is using some of the same fear-mongering language that was used to defend Jim Crow – namely, asserting that separation is necessary to protect women and children from sexual predation. The people who support HB2 say things like “I care about the…

It’s the Trump secret! All tweet and no work make Donny the GOP nominee!

I really love his instance that having a good night's sleep is some nefarious plot of Clinton's. He stays up late, hate-tweeting, popping uppers and eating fast food, which is waaaay better than letting your body and mind rest and repair itself. That is why he is always so pulled together and professional.

The problem is just a straight loser playthrough can still miss things. A straight up loss is easily covered. What happens here that is not covered in fact a success, just not as good as other successes. I’m not necessarily saying this wasn’t a QA oversight, but it’s not necessarily as simple as you’re making it…

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that—I mean, you had WALLACE put a scare in Nixon and McGovern in 1972. Think about that. Yet in this day and age, they could have a halfway decent 3rd party candidate (hey, remember Perot?) but somehow fuck it up with Pothead and Jill “Upstairs Mexican Medical College” Stein.

Just remember. This is what you are enabling with your conscience vote.

Because a large number, not all but a lot, of Bernie supporters are college kids who have never voted before and don’t realize how the real political world works. They just got excited over the old white guy promising them free shit. Again, a lot, not all. Just to make that clear before I get #notallberniesupporters…

You could send a check or money order to the Washington County Jail. http://www.co.washington.or.us/Sheriff/Jail/HelpInmate/inmate-account-deposits.cfm

Just to get the neighbor’s nasty kids off your mind: I’ve got a nearly 16 year old toy poodle. I got him the July before 9/11 and we spent that horrible day together watching all the people walking uptown from the trade centers. He’s fully deaf now and can only see a few cloudy feet in front of his face. But his mind…

Rattata!
