I’m a historian who’s read about a lot of times when people thought things were being overblown and then all got murdered or died in a famine their leader failed to prepare for. Plus I follow international news stories about states brought to utter ruin by incompetent and corrupt dictators. So maybe it’s just a matter

“Partial birth” is an invented non-medical term made up by a right wing think tank, so maybe no. Again, why do you think you or some random elected officials should get to decide who should be allowed to control their own body? Do you really have the insane belief that there are legions of doctors itching to abort

Thank you for clarifying this. As a black sheep from red country, I find myself caught somewhere in the no-man’s-land between both camps: often taking “pro-lifers” to task because they’re NOT pro-life, they’re just pro-birth and all their egregious social policies reflect this. And I feel that lot of abortions happen

Exactly what I was going to say. When you are driving a car it is YOUR responsibility to be alert and watch the road. It is YOUR responsibility to avoid hitting things, whether that means pedestrians, deer, other cars, or Godzilla crossing. A deer is a particularly good example because those mofos will just jump out

How about a bill that says if you don’t know what to do when you see a pedestrian on the roadway you lose your license for life. I’m pretty sure you shouldn’t be trusted near any school crossing.

Somehow he makes it about how white Christians are obviously definitely the most mistreated demographic in the history of the world.

Steve King is a birther who has a confederate flag on his desk, even though he’s from a northern state. Yeah, fuck him.

It’s clear everyone involved is lying but it’s not clear exactly why they are lying. Everyone know you all are just a bunch of fascists, why wouldn’t you be working together?

The linens in the hospital where my son was born were called “Standard Textile”. They were my favorite brand name. They tell it like it is.

I have never been able to get over the fact that Tul is essentially the store brand of one of the office supply chains, because the name they gave it is literally the least imaginative name for a product they could possibly have given it. I’d be more inclined to buy them if the brand was “Generic Pen Co.” than “Tul”.

Given that even third-term Bloomberg-era Manhattan had a permanent urine smell about it, I think your nose might just have adjusted and you didn’t realize it.

Bic Cristal pens are shit. They’re the ones we give out to the extras on set to fill out their paperwork because we know we won’t get them back.

Becoming Ugly

In 2001, when I was about 14 years old, my male friends invented a game that went like this: one of them—and it was

“The White Male Struggle: Caucasian Men and the New Persecuted Class”- coming soon to a red state college near you!

Welcome to Scottwalkerville, We have legislators in WI trying to pass a bill that would drug test EVERY high school student! And there’s his open letter to Trump.

There are not many things as infuriating as white outrage.

Not just university courses, but bike lanes! From Steve Nass’ wiki page:

Just another coward demanding the whole world be his safe space.

Maybe that’s what it sounds like to you, but that’s not actually what I was doing. What I was saying is that there are definitely reasons for casting calls to be made based on race. Which is true. You can’t cast a white Othello (I’m looking at you ANTHONY FUCKING HOPKINS). You can’t cast a white Alexander Hamilton
