Is tipping the tow truck guy a thing? I’ve never done that and now I feel like a shitty person :(

“Every business dealing in recent history with a socialist minded person I have not gotten paid...”

• “Kaley Cuoco is having a great time dating that horse man.”

“It also rubbed me the wrong way that gentrification was somehow a problem for sassy old white women.”

I know Wiig and McCarthy are getting all the attention in the casting (both positive and negative) but I’m super thrilled about Kate McKinnon. She’s my favourite cast member on SNL, and all the shots of her in costume look fantastic!

Don’t forget Willard! After Crispin Glover took the role, it’s impossible to imagine anyone else.

The librarian was SO scary! That was one of the things I loved about the original Ghostbusters that I hope carries on to this one; even though it was a comedy, they went all out in making scary ghost effects and creepy atmospheres. I loved that as a kid, the movie terrified me as much as it amused me.

That’s good to know! I actually really loved Cleveland a lot when I visited. You have a beautiful state and beautiful architecture.

My girlfriend’s from Cleveland and I went there for the first time over Christmas. There are SO MANY senior communities in Ohio. SO SO many! If we ever get priced completely out of California, I’d definitely find work there (or rather, WHEN we get priced out of California ::sigh::).

You know... I keep hearing about how it’s only ‘the kids’ who support Bernie Sanders, but I manage a senior community, and earlier this week I noted that in the parking lot and on resident doors there was an absolute sea of Bernie Sanders bumper stickers.

Well, it’s being retooled during the hiatus, and hthe mission statements from the new showrunner sound really encouraging:

Disney didn’t acquire the Sesame Street characters when they bought the Muppets. The SS character rights were retained by the Children’s Television Workshop.

I couldn’t concentrate on anything else in the video after seeing Patriotic Elephant. PATRIOTIC ELEPHANT!!!!

ETA: I guess the difference is between saying ‘as your doctor, I’m having your driver’s license temporarily revoked because your epilepsy isn’t controlled’ and saying ‘any time someone applies for a driver’s license, we should run a background check that allows us to deny anyone who has epilepsy.’ The first option is…

But see, that actually makes more sense than having folks with a diagnosis show up as a flag on a hovernment background check. If we had the ability to have a therapist or psychiatrist say ‘I’m having your gun license revoked due to your present condition,’ the way we would with a car, and if we made sure that showing…

But see, this demonstrates my point - your default assumption is that schizophrenic = violent, and that’s not remotely true. Most schizophrenics, even when not on meds, aren’t violent at all. Other schizophrenics manage to maintain their med schedule and live totally normal lives. I say this as someone who has worked…

I am happy that you were able to adopt your daughter. Really and truly; congratulations on that.

But that’s where misunderstanding of mental illness comes in. People think that mental illness is one specific thing, and that thing is just ‘crazy.’ But it’s not like that. Mental illness is a big huge umbrella of diagnosises, with affects so varied that nearly everyone in the world could be diagnosed as having…

Sirry, I meant to type ‘mental illness’, but I still think it’s a solid point.

Yeah, I’m super pro gun-control, but I also spent twelve years working with people who suffer from mental illness, and the conversation about mental health screening makes me squirm.
