“letting them know the vote had put Alaska’s future with the administration in jeopardy,”

WW is the only movie I’ve gone to theaters to see in years, literally. I’m a little anxious so I prefer to redbox at home, but bet your ass I took my 9 year old daughter to see it...and my aunt and her daughter...and my sister and her girlfriend. I know we were hardly the only group who went specifically because it…

And she’s not alone. I know a number of young people who want to go into architecture, engineering, and the like specifically to help rebuild the country someday. Wanting to create rather than destroy—this is an alien way of thinking to the Assad regime.

There is a new refugee family in my apartment building, I think from Syria, a man and his four kids all of whom are elementary school age. A social worker lady was helping them when I’d see them the first week or so, but over the last few weeks I run into the family on their own. They walk around the grounds,…

Nobody goes swimming in a river that’s on fire, and when nobody is swimming nobody can drown. Don’t you want to save lives?

The Earth has a limited amount of resources and some people are not deserving of them. We need an Old Testament or Greek god right now because there are people who need smiting.

Yep, the whole wedding party should have been stepped on by an ent.

My better half has started quoting Matthew 5-7 (the Sermon on the Mount) to the more religious ones on his page, which is undoubtedly hopeless but sort of amusing.

When my kid brother was being a little jerk in public, our mom would always threaten him with “a smack.” It kept him in line every single time. What onlookers didn’t know was that in our family, “a smack” meant “embarrassingly overdramatic kiss on the cheek from your mom, which is JUST IS NOT COOL.”

So true. The comment section on The Slot, Jezebel, and The Root has some smart and engaged folks.

Gloria herself corrected me on it once. Apparently she does not want to take credit for it,since it’s such a great line, especially Coming from a catholic.

Actually, Gloria didn’t say that. She quoted an Irish American cab driver (female) who said that to Gloria when she was in the woman’s cab.

Randy Bryce is a decent candidate. If he can stay on message as someone seeking to protect people’s access to affordable insurance and as someone more in tune with WI-1, in addition to raising decent money, he could give Evil Eddie Munster of Janesville a good race. Every weekend that he’s stuck in Wisconsin making…

If I were rich, I’d invest in a bunch of drones with cameras to fly all over the desert and find migrants, then swoop down in my helicopter and pick them up and give them water and food and a place to take a long nap where ICE agents can’t find them.

I genuinely don’t see how Theresa May can hang on as PM for much longer. Her approval rating was already below Trump’s before this happened and at this point I don’t think there can be anyone left in the country who doesn’t loathe her.

So many great moments

Please tell your son that he is brave and right and true. That things are crazy now, but his instincts are correct and it won’t always be like this. And let me know where to send the banana chocolate chip muffins, because he’s earned them.

Seriously ,don’t leave us hanging!

Did he get past the outskirts of St. Joseph, MO, before dying of dysentry?
