It’s a well-known fact among ornithologists that the Bower Bird is the gaudy fuckboi of the avian kingdom.

Furthermore, it is your patriotic duty to cut off racists from everything and everyone.

This. Girl, get out!

I am very much in favor of more women raising their standards and exercising discretion, like Ron’s ex (??)-gf here:

1st LW: call your MIL a racist piece of shit, loudly, in front of the children and your husband, as often as possible. Do not make nice with her, tell her to go fuck herself, and encourage your children to tell her the same.

Somewhat OT: this article that came out today on HuffPo (I know, I know, sorry) is a really excellent insight into what the GOP tax plan is really all about:

I work in new music in Germany. The government recently released a report assessing new-music institutions’ gender issues, and it was really bad. And among a lot of the larger institutions — which often view themselves as the caretakers of a priceless legacy which (surprise!) comprises almost entirely the work of…

Well, again, according to RCT, WaPo has apparently been sitting on a story at Mueller’s request for months now that directly implicates That Asshole in conspiracy with the Russians. Remember: Manafort has been under a FISA warrant since 2014, and was again during the campaign, which means his phone was a hot mike.…

Well, if Russian Conspiracy Twitter is to be believed (which, well … you know), Manafort is already under sealed indictment, and Team Mueller is going to be rolling up on the rest of these treasonous assholes by year’s end. Compared to Watergate, it’s been moving much much faster, and it’s going to be a political…

Jimmy Kimmel is a goddamn hero for this. He almost singlehandedly brought this awful measure to light and got people calling their reps. If Graham-Cassidy goes down, a good deal to the honor of that victory will be his.

They can, and they will, but this was always designed as a one-two punch: McConnell can’t pass the giant tax cuts he’s under orders to pass unless he slashes federal spending beforehand. The only way he could do that under reconciliation was to gut Obamacare. So he needs two full fiscal cycles to pull both off using…

I pray to the Prestige-TV gods that they get a solid DP on board. I can just imagine 70s Jamaican noir with a strong True Detective vibe, and it looks amazing in my head.

I was trying to figure out how an article showed up on the sidebar and all the links to reddit users and their posts were already dead, and then I realized this was five years ago =/

I am trying my very hardest not to fat-shame the guy (because heaven knows, a lot of the heavy guys with underdeveloped social skills who got into nerd shit like movies and gaming and cons did so as refugees because that was the only place where they weren’t bullied or whatever, and we should all do our part to fight…

That’s what baffles me here: SHS does not come off as that particularly good a rhetoritician or debater. And yet she swats these questions aside like they’re nothing.

There is no message worth hearing that depends on inflicting cruelty upon helpless animals. Fuck these artists, and fuck the museum for its craven bullshit of an excuse.

You can read his own account of his becoming “saved” right here. Of course, being the testimony of a True Believer who apparently converted his whole family, maybe exercise some skepticism.

You know that feverish glow that True Believers have? Who radiate kindness and love and the Holy Spirit whether they’re telling you how happy they are to have shared this beautiful moment with you or explaining how “Papists” are condemned to eternal hellfire right there along with Jews and the homosessicans? I kinda…

I was young and stupid (see: hasty wedding), and as it was early morning of a gorgeous day, it seemed strangely magical at the time. She was, to her mild credit, very nice, and I’m pretty sure if we’d just said, “no, thank you” they would have left us to go about our business.
