Helps when freight companies own the lines and take priority over Amtrak runs.

He needs to go whip white people in Mississippi into a racist rage so that they vote tomorrow. Sadly, it might work.

“I’ve seen it, I’ve read some of it. It’s fine,”= “someone put it on my desk, I read the title as I pushed it aside to eat my KFC, I could read all of the big words”

surprised they didn’t assign him to a new parrish though

Of course the Catholic Church would let him keep coaching. It’s not like he’s gay or anything.

As he should. The injustice of a well-to-do grown ass man no longer being able to coach youth girls basketball, all because of credible allegations of sexual assault that you just KNOW must have been false because look how angry he got about beer, would have been too much to bear. Frankly, it would have caused me to…

Quite frankly, because they shouldn’t have to. Maybe for some cross-country train that goes through the desert or mountains but there’s no reason here. The bottom line here is that nobody should have been left stuck on that train for more than an hour, max.

In a properly functioning, civilized society, we’d have…

They need a better evacuation plan. 

“It will devastate the US economy” is GOP code speak for “It will make some of the super wealthy slightly less rich.”

The way we talk about Sandy Hook and gun control is going to be how we describe Paradise and climate change. A whole goddamn town gone and we as a society can’t get everybody on board to do something about it. 

This was also his 3rd or 4th attempt on that island. They had previously shot at him.

I went to that Christian Concern website, and no surprise, they’re actively supporting Christians ministers going where they’ve been explicitly told they’re not welcome and then claiming they’re being persecuted when they get there.

Yeah, he was even warned. He at least should have given up once his bible was shot with an arrow. Hello! Message from god! I’d turn back if I were you!

There is nothing tragic about this. There is, however, some sort of poetic justice. Clearly, God wanted him dead - isn’t that how it works?

He illegally went to an island KNOWING it was illegal and how that island operates and he could die and did it anyway. Let that be a lesson to anyone else who wants to fuck with people who DO NOT WANT TO BE FUCKED WITH.

Let’s not call them anti-vaxers anymore. It is so negative. I think Plague Carriers is more accurate and predictive of their future.

I think a lot of famous (and famous-ish) people think that because people admire their acting/writing/whatever, people must admire everything about them and want all their thoughts and opinions. It’s the “I am now Important and so everything I want to say is Important too...the world needs to know!!” syndrome.

One thing I find the oddest about these sort of social media posts from people working in the entertainment industry is why they make them. It’s clear now that your social media accounts can impact your job so why not just share vapid updates about upcoming projects rather than say what’s in your heart and risk…

Some important points. 1) Being anti-vax is a choice. 2) It endangers the lives of the innocent. 3) It’s built on a pack of debunked lies.

The preferred nomenclature isn’t “anti-vax”, it’s “pro-disease”!
