Unanimous consent means it can be sent immediately to the Senate for approval. A single dissent means it gets triaged into committee, renegotiated, then proposed and voted on using the normal rules. Pelosi requested unanimous consent so that (if the Republicans played along) it could become law before Christmas. But…

According to family mythology, my father’s grandfather was a lost one. But who really knows? I know that on my mom’s side we had French immigrants who changed their name to a common household appliance so that people would be able to spell/pronounce it, the useless scion of railroad baron who gambled away the family…

No, I think he’s just a terrible person who does terrible things because he thinks he is better than everyone else, and thus entitled to be terrible.

Anyone else notice that Kimberly Guilfoyle has cellulite on her forearms? That’s a weird place to have cellulite. Now, I’m not about fat shaming; I’ve never been thin, and my lovely girlfriend is adorably fluffy. But we both keep our cellulite in the normal places - mostly between the knee and the elbow. So just how…

I don’t know about the Girl Dad/Boy Mom thing because I actively avoid humans, but as the mother of a teenage boy, that “See my shotgun” thing is really not funny. Luckily, my son doesn't seem to be interested in girls.

Remember in November when Florida went all in for Trump, then immediately got hit by the same hurricane TWICE? 

I had a biochemistry professor who, in the first week, swore at me and told me to get out of his class because I was too stupid (I refused). After I got one of the high scores on the first exam (in which he subtracted 8 points for a *correct* answer worth 5 points) he must have decided I wasn’t as dumb as he thought…

Sorry to be a nitpicker, but an amputee doesn’t loose a leg like they would loose their dog in a park; they LOSE their leg and don’t have it anymore.

Actually a PhD is a terminal degree, but professional degrees like JD and MD are not. In fact the term “doctor” comes from the Latin “docere” which means “to teach”. As only PhDs are considered learned enough to teach higher education, we are traditionally the only ones with the title “doctor”. Physicians only began…

As a partnered lesbian, our whole house is a bitch barn. Life is good.

I feel like if they made a Karen doll that white let-me-talk-to-your-manager-I’m-calling-911 people would lose their shit, and now I kinda want to see that.

Gross. Just gross.

Or force "the help" to get abortions.

I don't think the virus makes people dumb, but that doing dumb things makes people more likely to catch and spread the virus. Also that it's easy to underestimate how eager people are to be foolish. 

And those assholes in Jefferson Parish aren’t helping, considering how many of them work in the city but refuse to mask or distance in Metairie.

Trump CAN get covid twice, and is likely to after the Regeneron antibody therapy wears off some time next month. Antibody therapy is very effective, but can prevent the body from developing a robust immune response of its own.

Biden can't change the number of SCOTUS justices; that requires the Senate.

The antidepressant dose for ketamine is really low. Way below the one that will fuck you up. 

I research psychedelics, specifically the cognitive and mental health benefits of them, using rats. While I've had the best results with big doses of psilocybin, I can confirm that ayahuasca has antidepressant properties. Apparently integration therapy in the week after the trip is important to long-term outcome. 

I’m of two minds about this question and answer. I also struggle with gift ideas, largely because whenever I want something I just get it for myself, and when my girlfriend wants something I just get it for her. I’m now fortunate enough that anything I can’t easily get for us is out of the price range of a reasonable…
