She speaks for the Administration, not herself. And saying abortion instead of pro choice gives the Republicans this talking point:

Good, glad they aren’t saying abortion. You say abortion and idiots just shut the fuck down and start screaming “THINK OF THE BABIES”. You mention reproductive healthcare and people are much more likely to listen.

The counter-point to this is a Republican fundraising ad that’s just a supercut of every administration member saying the word “abortion”. If you’re explaining, you’re losing. Why give ammo to the right when you can instead make the clear, true, and important point that attacks on abortion rights are attacks on…

Shelter Cat Update!

Swirling creamy peanut butter through it can cut the “ah, my teeth are melting” that you sometimes get from the sweetness of the chocolate. Plus it gives you the salty/umami thing, without grains of “why is my chocolate crunchy?” salt.

I understand the sentiment but at the same time, I’m a little terrified by the amount of responses here praising mask wearing even now that most of us (at least here in the US) are vaccinated or have access to vaccines. I get that men can be awful but hiding ourselves away under layers of cloth to not have to deal…

First world problems are huge world problems. We buy so much disposable junk, and it hurts the entire world. I was looking into buying a W/D last year, and it was so frustrating to try to find something that wasn’t ‘smart’. I do not need to be notified on my phone that my socks are clean. It sounds like a special hell…

First world problem, I know...but. How come they can’t make household appliances that don’t do anything except what they are designed to do? We had to replace our 25+year washer and dryer and it took us all morning (after a week of delivery headaches that ended up in us having to go pick up the dryer), to install it.…

We bought a car!

The Gates Foundation and other anti-Malaria groups have HALVED the annual death-toll from Malaria since 2000. These groups are currently saving about 400,000 people a year and climbing.

Jaysusfuckingchrist, Bill is 65. 65 is not old. If you’re 22, maybe. If you’re 76, like me, 65 is not old. Sit down, punk.

The Gates Foundation has give over 50 billion dollars to charities. Last year alone they gave 250 million to fight COVID. These two don’t work as a couple anymore, but I’m glad they will continue on with their good work.

It may be because I’m super-old, but one of the first things I remember about the Gates Foundation after it formed was all the mosquito netting it provided to countries in Africa and its dedication to family planning. This isn’t just another Bezos, folks, even if you do not like the man.

Yeah, this line of thinking always confused me... in most states (ie. not OR, CO, etc. which have all mail voting), elderly people are more likely to vote by mail. And, in most cases, elderly people tend to lean conservative. They get this one whiff of minorities using this system, and they go full fucking Birth of a…

“not last night but the night before!”

Without the shell, it would only be pudding, and not a pudding pie. You can certainly just make the pudding, or make yourself a bunch of non-pie-shaped raw cookie dough. Or you can put them together, say you made a pie, and feel extra accomplished. For legal reasons I will say that it’s not a single serving treat,…

Kennedy pulled a “oh you like sports, name every player ever” and Abrams was like “Would you like that Alphabetically”

Point taken.

That’s where I am at as well. This whole recall has been on life support from the get-go, and only reached this stage because some judge allowed the signature-collectors something like double the time to get enough signatures. Combine that with a hard GOP push (because the GOP loves nothing more than trying to stick…

So if you state some bullshit in the form of a question then it’s not libel? Got it.
