This article didn’t say anti-vax. It said vaccine skeptical, which is a pretty fair (if not charitable) description of the position as best as you can make out from her waffling positions. Another, more apt description might be “anti-vaccine panderer.”

Exactly. A friend actually said to me the other day, “Eh, we survived eight years of George W, so...” Yes, but despite all his numerous faults I never feared the destruction of mankind because of a Twitter slight from him either.

Counter-point: If Susan Sarandon’s endorsement on November 1st is something that could effect the way you choose to vote, you’re already a big part of the problem.

One Halloween, just as the costume party we were hosting was about to get started, my wife got a call that her beloved grandmother had died.

Hoping all the injured pull through, but since when does Freddy Kruger use guns? Although I think I would prefer a bullet to Demonic ScissorHands. Now I feel even worse.

We Catholics (I say “we” but I’m as lapsed as it gets) are usually way more chill about these types of things, barring the super fringe-y psychos but they’re a minority. I’ve never heard of a Catholic kid being forbidden from reading Harry Potter, for instance, but it happens all the time with fundie Evangelicals.

It’s well known he can be a dick, and by his own admission was a shit with his girlfriends/wives. He can be unfair and petty in his portrayal of women in his songs, contemptuous even. And I say that as someone who adores some of those very songs lol even when he is being an utter dick he you find yourself awestruck by…

I completely understand what you’re saying - I do. And I don’t think it’s “no big deal.”

My thing about the “of their time” isn’t race based, it’s age based. Old men have fucked up ideas and standards, regardless of their color. A woman asked one of the more radical 60s civil rights activists - don’t know if it was…

I’m not taking issue since I am speaking for myself. I’m not telling others how to feel about Dylan. Or any other artist for that matter. I get that for some people it’s impossible to enjoy someone’s work if they don’t like that person’s beliefs or approve of their lifestyle. It’s just not the case for me and I don’t…

That doesn’t diminish his talent or make his poetry any less potent.

I was in the same boat growing up. Sometimes our church would have “fall celebrations” on Halloween so kids wouldn’t succumb to sin, but no one was allowed to dress up.

Tangential, but I just wanted to share that my Halloween-hating mother who never let my siblings and I dress up and go trick-or-treating as kids (super conservative Christian thing) just got dressed up as a cowgirl and is on her way to a Halloween party. She’s doing so grudgingly, but still, progress!

And people, unfortunately mostly women, look to this creep for spiritual enlightenment. Like any other cult leader ever, he is a pure narcissist - plain and simple.

He is a classic narcissist and sociopath.

Right like, in his self deluded mind he probably thinks every woman wants to sleep with him but he’s so self aggrandizing he is unable to compute if they don’t. Consensual sex and non consensual sex probably look and feel exactly the same to him because he’s completely self centered.

THEY ARE NOT REOPENING THE INVESTIGATION! Stop with these misleading headlines and read Comey’s actual letter, a portion of which you posted here.

All I’m sayin’ yo.

Lol, screams “racist” on anyone who is saying anything about legit criminals, erupts with his own racism minutes later... ™

On top of that, to be a 19yo college student with a newish Acura SUV means she certainly ain’t surviving on ramen like a lot of us once did.

You win the racism card bonus for this post. Congratulations?
