Jake Lloyd, who alone in this world is justified in bitching about how Star Wars ruined his childhood.

and doing a really good job of it, too! Ahmed Best knocked it out of the park with what he was given.

Yeah, I mean, I never blamed anyone for Jar Jar besides George Lucas. The poor actor was just doing what he was told.

Of all the fandoms, Star Wars has arguably the biggest one; more fans means more people talking, which usually leads to escalation. Star Trek might have been big, but it was never “Star Wars big”, so it would make sense that the fans would be more “under control”.

The problem with basically every fandom is that some of the people in every one of them build their whole personalities out of their devotion to that one thing. And then, because their personalities are just loosely assembled spare parts, they fall apart at the slightest jostling of the original work, and the people re…

My take is that the less-insane members of the GOP are starting to realize that the blowback from Dobbs is threatening their chances of taking the Senate and possibly the House. Gay marriage doesn’t inspire the same passion from the right that abortion does, and the primary season is over so they’re not worried about…

This is what continually gets me - we are told that ONLY cops are able to perform tasks with a degree of danger involved, but then when they refuse to do the thing they are literally trained (and armed) to do, we are reminded that said situations are dangerous.

These departments have oodles of funding and ample…

Funny how “forcing your beliefs on other people” is somehow a deep expression of courage.

im glad the steelers kept him out of the super bowl. im glad his brother kept him from winning a different super bowl. im glad he lost in the cfp.

They just left because the suspect matched the description of someone who lived there? The fucking alarm company people do a better job following up when I forget to turn it off and let the dog out at 2 am.

I hope you mean a literal tsunami because gerrymandering prevents any real gains.

I live in Louisiana and just canceled my upcoming IVF cycle. We’re moving and doing it out of state instead, fuck this shit. Maternal-infant care was already barbaric down here before these laws drove it back to the stone age. I guess the state legislature decided the insane taxes, broken infrastructure, and monster…

The cruelty is the point. Republicans think stories like this will actually help them at the polls in red states. I pray they are wrong.

That’s how the death panels start. You know, the ones conservatives keep worrying about.

Nonetheless, the hospital’s lawyer

And for the therapy and other aftercare too.

And what enrages me is the FUCKING GASLIGHTING that comes from any GOP turd made to respond to stories like this, which usually comes in the form of, “It’s not the law, you just don’t understand the law and you’re being hysterical, and if anybody is suffering it’s your fault!”

I want the backlash against the anti-choice crowd to be epic. Like Blue Tsunami epic.

This tracks. The GOP, after all, is the party that claims to empower women. Christ, what a nightmare for that poor woman.
