Seriously. I hate that Splinter is gone and the sad thing is, I don’t miss it as much for their own posts as for the bulk of smart commenters who dug deeper and offered additional links and information. I can read the news anywhere, but I don’t dip into comment sections anywhere outside of the GMG...which I guess…

That fridge certainly looks like a lot of money went into it.

Another one that I was thinking of whilst preparing breakfast (sausages, eggs, proper bacon and not that laminated shite you Americans seem to love, with toast)...

I understand your anger. But please reconsider wishing death upon these kids or saying they will stay racist. I was raised by fanatic anti-abortion activists and dragged around the country while they chained themselves to clinics. I was homeschooled along with about 100 other children being raised in the same…

Personally I am consciously forcing myself to keep up and keep engaged. I’ve seen end games of this kind of regime, and I refuse to let this motherfucker win.

Old white male British biologist turns out to be a eugenicist and to have stolen credit from a woman?

I know! And not everyone has a cousin Kevin. Like does this “journalist” think that we all just go around talking to “cousin Kevins”? WTF! The Kevin I’m related to is my uncle, not my cousin, and uncle Kevin is a farmer, not an accountant. Some people aren’t even related to a Kevin at all. Some people don’t even have…

You might take a second look at your ageist implicit bias.

I know a depressing number of post-graduate educated liberals who couldn’t explain how tax brackets work either. I don’t think this national ignorance is an accident. Poll your friends the next time the topic comes up and prepare to be horrified.

Job update: I got a call on Monday from the recruiter who did my phone interview. I now have a face-to-face interview with the pharmacy manager in charge of transitions of care and the emergency department. She would likely be my manager if hired. I’ve been knuckling down even more to make sure I nail this interview.

Actually, let me not be glib. My FIL was a long time Republican. Army guy. NRA member. You get it.; he was textbook Republican.

I don’t know when I’ll get to use it, but I’m stealing “Occam’s Entire Toiletry Kit.” Metaphorically speaking. But, damn, now I want a literal one.

I legit don’t understand the Monica Lewinsky hatred in this day and age. She was 22 years old. Has anyone seen a 22 year old lately or remember some of their own decisions? In addition, her recognition of the pain caused to Hillary and Chelsea is important and not something that she has ever failed to acknowledge.

I honestly didn’t intend for that comment to turn into this.

She feckin’ DID it!

If only there had been a good guy with a bottle of Yoohoo. 

You forgot about the white Trump-supporter that sent mailbombs to all those Democrats.

We all know Cohen is a throwback mafia consigliere who’s never improved his manner or elocution, and never would have corrected any of these statements by Trump (he’d have laughed like Billy Bush because that’s what betas do). He’s straight out of a 70s Scorsese movie. He spent years as the street thug in service to…

I think this is great. It demonstrates that not that long ago and still today women are coerced into situations they don’t want to be in by the pressures put upon them by society.  It’s so sad.
