Obviously the North Carolina Bathroom law is some crazy bigoted bullshit, but the one thing I’ve always wondered about it - since it’s always descibed in terms of the gender on a birth certificate - can’t trans people in the US get their birth certificate updated with the correct gender?

I had a Jack Russell growing up. They are definitely not for everyone. Or even for most people. People get them because they’re cute, and then discover they’re also a perfect storm of intelligence, stubbornness, endless energy, and amped up prey instinct. Luckily I had a paper route I kept until I was awkwardly old…

I also know nothing about Pitbull beyond the fact that he seems like a fun guy, a woman I’m friends with on Facebook is obsessed with him, and I totally don’t understand his “look.” In particular, the creepy little mustache that reminds me of something a 12 year old boy rocks in that awkward period between hitting…

I never got the idea that Trump’s children are in any way some measure of him as a person. First off, it doesn’t really work that way - good people can have terrible kids, and vice versa. But also, there are many accounts, from his ex-wives, and Trump himself, that he had very little involvement in actually raising…

I cut her some slack at first, because I didn’t really know anything about her and she didn’t seem like a complete moron, and I figured if she was friends with Chelsea Clinton, she probably isn’t evil. But when she started giving adoring speeches about her dad and lying about how respectful he is toward women, she…

Yeah, I think he cares more when people attack him, or anything branded with his name on it, than he ever will people’s judgment of his performance in office. Because obviously the American Government doesn’t really matter very much to him. “That’s an absolutely irresponsible choice for head of the Department of…

Ugh - this is my neighbour. Got his truck stuck pulling into the driveway the other day with only about 10 cm of snow. If your truck wimps out in weather conditions my 2005 Civic can handle easily, why the fuck do you even have a truck?

As good a place as any to share one of the funniest weed stories I’ve ever heard, from my partner’s high school dealer, who was an insane hillbilly who grew in the woods behind his trailer. He has so many stories from dealing with this guy. The favourite is this guy had a crazy long-haired cat who shed like crazy. One…

If true, that Lamar Odom news is actually encouraging. If he’s far enough along in his recovery to recognize his triggers and try to be proactive in addressing them, that’s really impressive progress in only a year.

Yes, I’ve found this whole narrative about “the one thing Trump rewards above all else is loyalty” really weird. It’s just objectively not true. Look at how early supporters like Ailes, Christie and Guiliani are getting shuttled to the side now that they’ve become inconvenient or as Trump’s getting access to shinier,…

I get your point, but as time goes on it becomes increasingly clear that the depths of Trump’s idiocy have not yet been fully understood. Each day some new incident, some new anecdote comes up and, although I didn’t think it was possible, my estimation of his intelligence drops even further. I mean, even most…

We had an insane oil-drunk, anti-science, Climate Change denying Conservative government here in Canada before the last election. Their tactic with government scientists - because they had the sense to know they couldn’t fire them all - was to prevent them from sharing their research. No media requests, no publishing,…

I saw this on the news this morning and immediately imagined their conversation going

Not necessarily. It could be she has a traumatic incident in her past where she mixed drugs and alcohol and something about the combination triggered her and caused her to flashback.

Counterpoint: evangelicals used to show up at my cousins’ house like clockwork on a weekly basis until my uncle and I told them we worshipped satan and they never came back again. Try it with crazy lady. She probably will stop bothering you to use your bathroom. 

Never was there a better advertisement for decades of yoga and living at an Italian villa where you organically grow all of your own food. Also having a wife who knows all of the ins and outs of good plastic surgery. 

I’m pretty sure it was one of those standard celebrity slurring, stumbling “don’t you know who I am?” airplane tantrums.

I don’t know. I find it’s better to get Christians engaging on issues like satan and demons and whatnot to remind everyone the sort of people they are allowing to drive legislation currently. We are allowing people who genuinely believe in demon possession to write legislation dictating women’s health care. Demons.…

They are absolutely atheists, but no one can prove it, and atheism isn’t a religion, so not protected by all of these freedom of religion bills. This is purely political, with the added benefit that it freaks out Christians - who are trying to force their religious beliefs on everyone else - in a way that atheists…

He looks so so much like my late great uncle, who had poorly managed bipolar disorder and refused to bathe because it was a waste of money and perpetually reeked of urine. Coincidentally, he also used to be in the KKK, but he realized they were full of shit and quit once he was medicated.
