I feel like Tiffany Trump deserves to be treated like any other 24 year old who has rich parents with repugnant beliefs.

As someone with MS, my reaction was kind of like if you are going to be insulting, at least be funny and insulting. MS tends to effect quality of life much more than life span. So it’s not even especially clever.

That’s different definitely. I was thinking from the perspective that people always have professional strengths and weaknesses.

Somewhere else I read someone’s analysis that Kanye was tweeting his from Kim’s account. I have no idea if it’s true, but the kids running it thing was one point that made it seem plausible. That seems more like Kanye.

Yes, several times. No it didn’t. Don’t repeat my 20s.

Congratulations! If your screen name indicates you are from Louisville, I volunteered at the Science Center all the way through high school. I seriously thought about studying museum education in college. Then I found poli sci and all bets were off.

Exactly!

I took some to a drug take back day where a very chipper young woman in a DEA windbreaker said said “are you here with drugs ma’am?” the second I walked into the police station.

Agree.

it was the comment about them being able to speak English and call for help that did it. Because it’s an assumption that is completely false, and it seemed dismissive. Read the stories. It’s heart breaking stuff and we do nothing to stop. It’s not a priority and it’s not a priority because people say stuff like “the…

Some of them are old enough to speak, and some are old enough to call the police, but lots aren’t. Some of them are babies and toddlers. They also are used to adults they don’t know showing up and telling them they have to go places even when they don’t think it’s a good idea.

There also are probably about this many children missing from regular foster care. It’s just rarely added up. But each state has some non-zero number and we have fifty states. It’s a combination of bad people, lazy people, and mistakes. Teenage runaways don’t help the numbers, it includes kids too small be anywhere an…

Every single state foster care program has lost some children. It’s almost common. It’s just rarely reported on and not added up at the the federal level. It’s like 70 kids here and 200 kids there. Some of them have undoubtedly had terrible things happen to them. Some of them are perfectly fine and the record keeping…

While I really can’t imagine letting anyone take nude pictures of me, I’m learning that everyone has something that is in some way super intimate that could be used against them, that others consider no big deal. Like my first response to nude pictures is “are you nuts??? someone might seem them!!!,” but I can’t…

With Echo, you have options, but you can’t make it anything. Alexa and computer are two of them.

Or saying “I’m not really competent in this area, let me refer you to Y who is.”

Language is key. Any statement that starts “I prefer” isn’t really pitting women against each other, it’s having preferences. Language that talks about “appropriatness” is judgey.

I bet it’s the drug test.

Also drug testing.

My guess would be that McConnell has a sufficiently solid grasp of reality to realize that you can’t accidentally harrass someone. That no one is getting a huge settlement because someone told a questionable joke once.
