Wonder Showzen, bless it. That kid was the best, although the other Beat Kidz segments seem to be erased from YouTube, dammit. In any case I’ll still have the intro stuck in my head all night.

Are you, perhaps, looking at a ‘shopped version of this photo? I don’t see “Muslim ban” anywhere.

Apologies, but I can’t seem to find “Muslim Ban” listed— where is it, in proximity to their bodies, etc.?

Wait, serious question: where does it say that? I don’t see “muslim ban” anywhere visible... I just spent way longer staring at a picture of Steve Bannon than I ever wanted to, playing a depressingly racist game of “Where’s Waldo,” and I can’t find the words.

The company I work for plan multiple events through out the year. They are all in state and while not ‘glamorous’ are definitely professional.

Clearly missed the obvious promo choice

A friend sent me this video first thing this morn and I’m kind of wrecked for the day. My first baby had a similar story that didn’t have a happy ending.

That was difficult to watch. My 4-year old son, Finn, was born with a heart defect that he will have to have operated on. It’s called aortic valve stenosis. I know how Kimmel felt when he’s being told of the issue. So much uncertainty. So many questions. So many tears. We worried that our son might not even make it…

My son had heart surgery at 5 days old, so I feel for him. It’s fucking brutal. It changed my wife and me forever. The time from when we found out until he was cleared from the hospital were rock bottom the worst days of my life. You feel like you have no control of anything and everyone wants to help, but nothing…

Yeah, I’m glad he chose to make this story bigger than himself. His son will always be financially secure, but many many parents have to make really difficult decisions about their children’s healthcare. The fact that there is even talk of CHIP not getting funded anymore is just unconscionable. 

Had totally forgotten about The Man Show until someone brought it up two days ago and it all came screaming back to me and I blacked out from latent rage. Ugh gross that show was terrible.

Good for him for addressing this, and for making that connection to the broader political context- that plenty of less fortunate Americans would be burying their kid right now. This is how you use your celebrity and privilege for good.

A lot of people thank their god or their own positive attitude in situations like…

Is that why? Personally, I still haven’t forgiven him for The Man Show.

My son also had a bit of a scare and was in the NICU for 4 or 5 days. We were super broke when he was born and I was dreading getting the bill. Our out of pocket for his NICU stay and my c-section was $0 because my husband has amazing insurance from his job with the state. In the midst of all the other things I had to…

Glad I’m working alone today because I cried at my computer.

“Personal responsibility is for the poor”

So many of my comments in real life and here and elsewhere on the web boil down to “Jesus, look at this fucking asshole right here”, and I mean to one day change that and cleanse myself of this all-consuming hatred, but Jesus, look at this asshole right here.

You can live a healthy life and still get cancer. Or MS or ALS, or several other diseases. Or, you know, get in a car accident.
