My last name isn’t “hard”, no unexpected sounds or silent letters or anything, but it’s definitely not common. Its origin comes from another more common name but spelled quite differently. I am in the habit of spelling it instead of saying it every single time a new person asks me for it.

Not a chance. If you want to sit in an enclosed space with a bunch of people who refuse to wear masks cuz “freedom”--you know even if they are required as soon as the lights go down the masks go down, too--in a confined space, not nearly far enough apart, and have to deal with the insane lines and extra precautions so…

Lifehacker: The slideshow format sucks. Meghan, I mean no frustration towards you. Wish I could have read your piece. It sounds fantastic.

If your history is based on statues, you ain’t leaning anything.

That may be true, but the last paragraph of this article quotes a Trump campaign official stating that they had 300,000 sign ups from Republicans who voted in the last four elections.  7,000 people showed up.

How about we put a little bit of the blame on the idiots who are ready and willing to pack themselves into the bars as well? I live in Michigan which is (currently) trending in the right direction. Hair salons and barbers were allowed to reopen this week and I’m sure they were very popular. Despite this, and…

Gwen used to be fun, because she was edgy and cool. Like a great many musical acts, age and money (neither of which they had access to when they were young, starving and driven) mellow them out into boring folks who live in suburbia.

She was one of my absolute favorites for very, very many years — I agree Return of Saturn might be better than Tragic Kingdom, though they’re both on my top 10 favorite albums. But honestly, I resent her so fucking much these days. Between my slow realization of her long-running cultural appropriation bullshit, and…

More likely the water froze inside the shoulder socket, expanded and stretched the socket itself.  It was just a friction fit for the arms, so once it was stretched...viola...Han who couldn’t possibly shoot first.

It’s AMEN, not AWOMEN, dagnabit!

Thanks, I hate it (and them)!
Plus, frozen vegetables are absolutly not “bullshit”! bBcause they’re flash frozen right after picking, they can frequently be more nutritious than the “fresh” equivalent, which has been sitting for who knows how long slowly decomposing.

Oh fuck that shit.

Another person in power earning their paycheck there... ffs

“Oh, I just wanted to waste your time.”

That was one unusual thing about my family - militant seatbelt users with the exception of my Grandmother. My Grandfather first hand witnessed a head on collision where the occupants went through the windshield and died right in front of him in the early ‘60s. Wore a seatbelt from then on, and made the kids and…

Part of 1 is 1a - eliminate police unions and other groups that blindly back bad cops and allow them to keep jobs after being bad cops.  

“ just so they could flex.”

THIS !!! That was what Chauvin was doing - he was “flexing”, showing his power and superiority, over Floyd, but I’d argue, even more so over the people watching. He showed he didn’t care what they said - and that there was NOTHING THEY COULD DO !!

It’s always about power. 

It’s not enough to be right, the messaging matters. It’s naive to think the GOP won’t spin this out of our hands. “Defund”, “Disband” is a messaging gift to the GOP. Meanwhile what most people is sweeping reform, recalibrating police functions, reallocating funds for militarization of police to social services etc.

Good news! The Republican presidential debates start in a little less than 4 years.

It won’t end well. ‘mericans are too spoiled and self-centered to actual take the amount of time to contain the virus to a truly effective state.
