From what I understand, Bill Gates is a shareholder in the company Republic Services which has landfills, recycling centers and dumps nationwide. I don’t know if I would classify this as Bill and Melinda Gates “having” a landfill. One of the Republic Services landfills has a subterranean fire, and that whole situation…

Absolutely true. I was just pointing out that “that bot” has indeed contributed a vast amount (literally tens of billions) to charities. And one hopes that a foundation that seems to be attempting to do some good would be aware of the cracks in their foundation and is attempting to remedy them.

I don’t know about solving world hunger, but The Gates foundation is currently working on eradicating polio worldwide. I’m not sure if Bill and Melinda Gates are worthy of your disdain, but what do I know?

Heard this on our local news today! So proud of Kate Brown. She’s doing good work.

I bet it felt really fucking good good. I have so much pent up adrenaline from the shit on the news that I started running again after three years of not running at all (my calves hurt). I am currently looking up self defense classes so I can be prepared to physically respond if and when I witness the bullshit.

That’s a fair point.

That’s the whole point, that in this instance, even a mere lip service tweet is more than the president has done.

I don’t think anyone here trusts Ted Cruz, Semilla literally said that it’s terrifying that he’s behaving like a better human than the President.

The Mayor of Charlottesville was on Face the Nation just now and said “It was a tough weekend”. It felt understated to say the least, especially when such a thing as a thesaurus might be available. The interview was odd, John Dickerson was speaking seriously, brows all afurrow and Mayor Signor was slightly jovial the…

I think it’s been a rough year for him, and he stresses a lot. He has been working but doesn’t love his job. And it isn’t like he didn’t get me anything, - he got me some cute fabric with animals on it (I sew a lot so that was nice) and one of the pet things was a light for the dog’s collar when I walk him at night.…

We went to a couple’s counselor last year which is when he determined that we didn’t actually need someone helping us talk to each other, he needed to see a therapist for his own issues. And that was great. But he hasn’t actually gone to an appointment. I don’t want to make it seem like he hasn’t tried, but every time…

I was a little taken aback because last year he built me a bike and one year for Christmas he gave me a custom made backpack with my cat’s faces embroidered on it. So he can be good at gift giving which makes me think that he’s done trying.

Have you guys read The Lacuna? Not my favorite Kingsolver novel, but lovely. I particularly enjoy that Frida Kahlo is in it.

Derrière?

She probably froze. When this kind of thing happens to you (and it has happened to most women) part of you can’t believe it’s happening, part of you doesn’t want it to be happening, and then it’s over. He probably waited until the photographer was about to take the photo and went in for a grab. And she was 23 at the…

Nice, I’ll have to get caught up.

Is Grey’s Anatomy still on?

There’s a difference between the neonatal intensive care unit where infants are taken when needing care immediately after birth and an intensive care unit where older patients are treated. My comment was made with the thought that most writers, especially when reporting current and relevant information, are interested…

Quick note, when babies are born needing extra assistance they go to the NICU.
