We have more than enough oil as is. The last thing we need to be doing is investing in new infrastructure to encourage the industry to continue expanding. And sure, most of us rely on using oil every day, but that’s only because we’ve collectively structured our economy and lifestyles around it to the point where it’s…

I get you. Sometimes, I feel like the only person who actually listens to what the songs really say.

I have no interest in getting married, but I’d kinda like to have a wedding so I could play Mountain Goats’ No Children at the reception. Because that would be some funny shit.

Also.... that a nationalised health service works pretty damn well.

This morning on AM Joy, it was disclosed that Devin Nunes, (the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee) has his own ties to Russia. His vineyard’s distributor in Europe is a Russian oligarch/ friend- of- Vlad, and he didn’t disclose this. Conflict of interest much?

“His shtick is to pitch his fictions to the underdogs.”

My son was born with a congenital heart defect. Nothing we did caused it. Nothing genetic caused it. Apparently, it wasn’t environmental. 5 different doctors explained to us, very patiently, that there was nothing that could have been done to prevent it, and nothing we did caused it. It’s just a crap roll of the dice.

Side note, I am your dog, and you shouldn’t use my name as your burner password.

Near the end of Paul Beatty’s excellent book, “The Sellout”, a black comedian hears the laughs of a lone white couple who has come to see his stand-up, performed in a donut shop in a poor black neighborhood in LA, and says to them, “This isn’t for you. This is our thing.”

And exactly WHY do you think this lousy plan was the best that they could do?Hmmm? You think it fell from the sky? The Democrats will give you bad food because its the best they can muster. The Republicans will laugh and kick you as you die. And say it was “God’s will”.

My adult child recently went to the emergency room with abdominal pain. She had to have her appendix removed and stay overnight. The total bill was $20,000. My wife is a teacher and her union has negotiated kick-ass insurance. The contractual amount was $6,000. The hospital is willing to perform those services for…

Stop it with this “I can’t afford healthcare” bullshit.

OT and I’m grey so no one will see this.

I am an atheist but I hope that there is a hell in situations like this, and I hope those fucking guards burn in it forever.

GET OUT.

Haunted kale.

How about the opposite? When I was a kid I had just started dated the man I’d end up marrying- I was 16? Anyway, we had a pool, and he’d be over a lot and he didn’t own a swimsuit. This annoyed my parents, particularly my mother, since buying to pool was a life goal of theirs (grew up poor) and everyone should enjoy…

If yer daddy was a member of a Nazi-affiliated group and yer affiliated with an antisemitic political party and ya wear that Nazi group’s medal on television and sign yer name in tribute to a Nazi group and that Nazi group sez yer a member and when yer asked whether yer a member of a Nazi group ya just say “No…

My husband has a congenital heart issue that can cause him to go into atrial fib (irregular heart beat) — a condition usually reserved for much older people. About 6 years ago, he underwent a procedure that fixed the issue and of course, his parents and I did the waiting room thing. They put him under, installed a…
