“Seriously, how deluded must she be to think this will go anywhere?” This is the Age of Social Media. Did trump think he was going to win? Did he want to? No way. He ran to raise the profile of his “brand.” That’s all that matters. Get attention by any means possible and then pounce on opportunity when it arises. If…

Isn’t just having her on the show validating her views though?  Our culture’s current understanding is that if you’re on TV you’re more valid than the rest of us slobs, and therefore your views hold more value.

Nah, we know her answer, the audience knows her answer, and Drew is not qualified to properly refute whatever bullshit she would have spewed. The woman feels no shame and it would have just provided a platform for whatever conspiracy theory about COVID vaccines she decided to latch on to (if I had to guess, either the…

I think asking her that would have just given her an opportunity to spread misinformation about the vaccine so it’s probably best she wasn’t asked. No need to give anti-vaxers more of a platform to spread their lies, especially when it sounds like interest in the vaccine is starting to plateau here in America. 

Campaign slogan suggestion: “I got mine, so fuck you.”

Again, she could have just run for city council or something, or hell even a mayor- something to show that she’s interested in the nuts and bolts of actual governance, not just reaching for the brass ring because she’s a celebrity and “deserves” it.

This fucking country is so goddamn diseased.  Just absolutely terminal.

Honestly, the more likely situation is “Caitlyn Jenner, hopeless has-been fame addict, agrees to publicity stunt in order to squeeze out just a tiny drop more of public attention, and hires most effective ass-polisher to buff her backside for interim.”

The classic conservative viewpoint of “fuck everyone on everything except those issues which affect me personally”.

It makes perfect sense that the Republicans would use a trans woman to attack and dismantle trans rights. Republicans can also use her as armor and accuse anyone who criticizes her of attacking a trans person. This is right wing fuckery 101.

I mean, if the GOP is going to lose, they may as well lose in the dumbest way possible

I know why we can’t require them in general, but it does look like a lot of school districts and higher ed institutions are starting to add it to the list of required vaccinations for students of eligible vaccination age (just like MMR), and to that, I say GOOD. I know it’ll only affect young people, but I’ll take…

Anti-vaxxers, it’s time for your vaccine.

Maintenance Phase is a lot of fun and very informative. The Eating Disorders episode, especially the context about eating disorders among larger people, was eye-opening.

Have been listening to this show since the “Presidential Fitness Tests” episode was on “You’re Wrong About”, and I cannot recommend it enough. Even someone with disordered eating (and likely an actual eating disorder, though undiagnosed) can listen without being triggered negatively. I’ve been triggered positively, if…

“Do as I say, not as I do!” he quickly added.

this sc decision is literally horrific. i literally just read an article about people who had previously been sentenced to life without parole as juveniles. of course, most of those people were black men because our justice system is deeply racist. i am honestly really appalled and concerned. this kind of decision…

Fuck that guy, and his ugly face, and his rancid opinions.  And Squi and PJ and Tobin, while we’re at it.

I’m pretty sure this story from US is made up bullshit.

Under if you have kids. Because the little snots seem to use 20 times more than necessary when it’s over compared to when it’s under. I’m basing this with personal experience.

What’s next, “sources” reveal whether the Sussexes prefer their toilet roll going over or under the spool?
