I grew up in Texas public schools, but I took AP U.S. History in high school, so we used a real college textbook and learned real shit. I feel lucky. I went to college for history and then went to law school, so I definitely learned the unvarnished version of how fucked up America is. If you don’t come out of a decent …

Things I remember from watching that movie in middle school: 1) everyone was jazzed that Mr. Feeny was in it, 2) one of the wives singing about gunpowder or something.

I can’t entirely blame the DA. I think he really wanted to prosecute this but he can’t rationalize it if there’s no chance under the MO statutes. The next step is to put pressure on the MO legislature to update the criminal laws. I don’t know if that’s going to happen anytime soon, though. It’s not a progressive…

I used to watch True Life, but I don’t remember this one. I do remember the furries one, though!

Covid edition: I use a chopstick to turn masks right-side out after I sew them (you sew them inside out).

No, son, it’s not anti-Southern sentiment. It’s anti-people showing themselves as racist dumbasses sentiment. I’m from white southern hick extraction myself. Fuck confederacy humpers.

Also, I get irrationally angry when someone’s thing is worth a significant amount of money, but they seem totally unimpressed by it. Like they thought it was worth more.

I’ve been trying to get tickets to Roadshow every year for probably at least 6 years now and never got in. I think the only way to get ahead is if you donate a decent amount of money to your local PBS station. I’ve seen things like this during pledge drive. I don’t remember how much you had to donate, but it was…

Seems like the problem wasn’t fizzy drinks in general, but specifically sugary energy drinks. Seltzer is a good way to switch off sugary soda. I was never at problem level with sweet drinks, but seltzer helped me quit drinking them almost completely.

I could, too, if they didn’t taste terrible. It’s not a lot of volume. And I’m a petite woman.

Just think, all the time, effort, and smarts that went into “fixing” chocolate chips could’ve been used to solve an actual problem!

I’m on team chocolate chips AND raisins in my oatmeal cookies. I actually prefer dried cranberries to raisins, but raisins will do in a pinch. 

As soon as a I saw the headline this morning “Texas congressman tests positive for Covid-19 after refusing to wear a mask,” I knew it was Gohmert. At least 60% of the time a “Texas congressman” does or says something fucked up, it’s Gohmert.

Prince, preferably in the ‘80s.

Have we found out if you can get Covid from cannibalizing people who have it?

Thanks to qualified immunity and police unions, the cops argue they aren’t responsible for ANYTHING ever.

I read elsewhere that she’s from a foreign country and just got her US license last year.

Is Bolsanaro a Trump wannabe or is Trump a Bolsanaro wannabe? Or are they both Duterte wannabes?

Studies please.

I read it was his grandfather’s funeral.
