I hate to be “that person” but as a Biologist I think this normally rare event could become more common with monoculture tree plantings. Monoculture stands such as pine, Christmas trees, often for profit but sometimes touted as “eco-friendly” have almost no diversity and therefore no variety of roots to stabilize or…

I’ve only been caroling once, and it was part of a gaggle of LDSteenagers when I dated a Mormon boy in high school like it was the best way to spend a Friday night.

She really was amazing. She’d get these huge beasts to follow her commands by running alongside them and they were afraid of stepping on her (but not afraid of her, they were all best buddies) but then at the end of the run they’d remember that it was the ball they were after. Smartest dog I’ve ever owned, by far, and…

Let’s not address this to just minorities we have plenty of examples of white people doing shit and blaming it on phantom Black people and yet things are not discussed on the regular as though this type of fabrication is a regular thing.

Looks like another victim of a ...

Grace Jones isn’t a human, though. She’s a celestial being.

Now if a freaking wild animal can sit neatly in a seat, WHY do we have to deal with manspreading?

Kanye West doesn’t care about black people

Can Ann Coulter have children? I always just assumed she was some sort of horrible simulacra being piloted around by a thousand angry scorpions.

I love the way she says, “Cheyenne.” SHAHH INNNN.

I always thought they were the most dead-eyed of the HGTV folks. Straight up automatons.

Y’know, I am an atheist. I believe that most of TST folks are, too. So I want to get all criticizey on them and say “Hey, don’t use satire to try to make your point, just use honest argument”. But y’know what? Their shit works. And it seems like it’s often the only thing that does, particularly with this sort of…

Sign me up for this ban. After 20 odd years working retail this is the time of year I dread most. Not for the crowds of people angry “I can’t believe you’re sold out of ______, it’s December 24th! How could you be sold out?!”. Not for the general insanity. But those damn Christmas songs. I feel like that character…

Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, she could have been sentenced to death. The base offense level of transmitting national defense information is 37 years, 42 years for top secret materials. 35 years isn’t harsh considering these working standards.

“The thinking is six years is plenty of time considering her actions.”

Not a chance in the world. I’m liberal and I would be very against a commutation. Just because she’s trans doesn’t mean she deserves a lesser sentence. I do believe that that is the catalyst to this movement. People can’t separate the two things.

Chelsea Manning attacked female Army specialist Jirleah Showman in a surprise assault. As Bradley Manning, he displayed consistent hostility against women. There are so many hundreds of thousands of women in county jails and state and federal prisons for nonviolent drug offences, shoplifting food, defending themselves…

In light of WikiLeaks’s involvement in this election cycle, I highly doubt her sentence will be commuted any time soon. Even though the information she released has nothing to do with the election (obviously, having be in prison for the last six years), Manning’s leaked documents really put WikiLeaks on the map.

Who wants to struggle in and out of a cocoon each time they have to get up? Isn’t getting off the couch hard enough in winter? Also, I like the versatility of my ancient couch blanket. When I’m sick I wear it like a cloak.
