Northup translation: “These men trying to restrict essential healthcare during a pandemic need to fuck all the way off”

“How could there be such a blind spot with our previous projections?”

And yet these are the same conservative people who sided with the government/corporations for DAPL? What about the Repubs passing laws that you can run protestors over if they try to block traffic? Fuck all the way off

Seriously though... fuck that guy

“despite stipulations for some businesses to provide paid leave “for pandemic related reasons” from the Family First Coronavirus Response Act, roughly 80 percent of workers won’t be covered by these protections”

“a man distraught after losing his job shot his girlfriend nonfatally, saying beforehand: ‘I already talked to God and I have to do this.’”

Retailers losing space? In my world of magical thinking, many of those stores could be converted to affordable living spaces (though I imagine most of the underperforming stores are likely not in the places that need affordable housing the most). But alas, that is only a pipe dream

I’m going to vote blue no matter who, but I don’t know what to make of this... it’s like half a plan

(yes, this is how I feel even with SpaceCop’s well-made point)

Penny Lane and Sergeant Pepper looking outside (from a safe distance... you can never be too careful)

Oh, I agree with you. I just don’t think either side is willing to give in for fear of looking like they are accepting defeat (in Bernie’s case) or giving in to the demands of a socialist (in Biden’s case)

Biden probably doesn’t feel he needs to answer them. He’s winning without it, so why change? After all, what are the Bernie supporters gonna do? Vote for Trump? Stay home? He thinks they’ll show up and vote blue no matter who, which is probably the case for most. We saw how that went last time, though. /sigh. I hate…

I know there are all the different varieties you showed, but that top image had me thinking this:

“Much of this is owed to how much the actors commit to their roles, even if they’re often tasked with spouting overwrought metaphors or clumsy exposition dumps. There’s a sense that everyone knows this is a little bullshit, and that winking edge comes hand in hand with a larger commitment to the story as a whole. It’s…

Truly. Spanfeller and co. can fuck right off. Time to go back to only reading the Guardian

I guess I’m trying to look for the positives in a shitty situation. A $100k settlement and public apology is miles better than 99.99% of women who are abused get

I’m glad this worked out in her favor; I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. But that asshat and his douche-nozzle friends got what they deserved (though not a firing). If only every domestic abuse case had a happy ending like this.

I teach at a college and interact with dozens of young women and female colleagues every day... and somehow I don’t have the urge to sexually assault or harass one. It’s amazing what treating women like humans does!

Yes, it’s funded over there, but don’t go getting too excited about the Republic which is still mired in anti-abortion Catholic nonsense (and protesting) and availability of clinics are not universal yet.

Yes, I am often thankful for the fact that the DUP are feckless puds. They’re evil puds, but feckless nonetheless. Fuck them
