“I got re-elected, and he didn’t, so who gives a shit?”

Man, the 6th can’t come (and hopefully go) fast enough. Between Trump’s (borderline?) criminal attempts to suborn electoral fraud and the Cruz-led “we just spent the last six months seeding doubt about election integrity and now we need to hold things up for an emergency inquiry because for some reason the public has…

Of course he shouldn’t trust numbers - they’re (horrified whisper) Arabic!

I wonder what Susan Collins has to say about this since she assured everyone that Trump learned his lesson the last time he was caught on a phone call trying to coerce someone to help him win the 2020 election. 

Wee trigger-warning here - I’ll be talking about how I nearly killed myself here. Just so you know.

So flashback to NYE 2006, about to be 2007. I was a senior in high school, seventeen, and my friends and I had a habit of going on night-time “escapades”, as they had been dubbed. (I think by me, but maybe not.) It was the height of the emo/scene kids, and there I was, a little Goth fairy-princess. Since none of our…

Most of our NYEs are total duds. We don’t drink, and we’re both introverts, so we stay home and go to bed early. However. A couple of years ago we were in France for the holiday. We’d arrived in Paris and checked into our hotel. Mr E wanted to go to the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees and celebrate. I didn’t -…

UPDATE: That person has been arrested by local authorities.

believe it or not, some famous people still value their own privacy and making no public appearances for two months isn’t uncommon. even more so when most people probably recognized his mask more than his face

I couldn’t help but wonder when I heard in the news a few weeks ago that three health care workers in Alaska had bad reactions to the Pfizer vaccine if it had anything to do with improper handling/storage. Seemed like too many for a relatively small group. If it was the vaccine itself there should have been adverse…

This person intentionally left the vaccine out to spoil. Who knows at this point why they did it, if they’re an anti-vax nutjob or what, but if they have a license they should lose it permanently.

I just got home from my last hospital shift of the year.

I love how a girlfriend’s highly specific and unprompted statement, corroborated by a lawyer who also represented the alleged bomb builder, that the guy was building bombs in an identified location is seen as insufficient for a warrant to search said location, but...

Agreed, the “look how well you turned out tho!” line was terrible... and is going to strike a chord with a lot of viewers who have experience with a distant parent, or one who left.  It’s especially painful to watch because all he really needed to say was “I’ve spent my entire life trying to find my way back to you,…

The family appreciates the numerous prayers and support over the past days but asks for privacy during this difficult and unexpected time.

From the start, people emphasizing pre-existing conditions/being old as a co-factor from dying from covid has left a bad taste in my mouth. When someone dies of covid and officials announce they also had a pre-existing condition, it means the rest of the population that views themselves as virile and omnipotent can…

I agree, but am wondering how this can be changed and still allow for people to make a living wage. If someone can do the same job in 15hrs/week, will an employer still pay for the 40hrs that they need the income from to pay even modest rent/mortgage in cities that aren’t crazy expensive? I doubt that this would…

This kind of reminds me — there’s an...okay-ish 1978 supernatural horror movie called The Legacy, where Katherine Ross stars as an interior designer who gets a large check to fly to England and work on perking up some old pile, so she drags her bemused boyfriend played by Elliott along. I enjoy the movie itself…

Every time book Scorsby had different obscure knowledge about whatever it was clear he had lead a long winding life that had given him a chance to gain it.
