Parkinson’s law of triviality is C. Northcote Parkinson’s 1957 argument that members of an organisation give disproportionate weight to trivial issues.^[1] He provides the example of a fictional committee whose job was to approve the plans for a nuclear power plant spending the majority of its time on discussions about…

Hey you try being regular when you swallow that much gum.

Nothing is known about the children McCorvey gave up for adoption.

Prosperity Gospel assholes are the worst. The. Worst.

Not many brought this up. Hitler had a shit (not pee) scandal he had which was reported by the German tabloids in an attempt to make him look bad. Never been proven, but very similar parallels to the Pissident-elect

And besides he seems like a bad, lazy and very confused lover.

Former Jezebel writer Mark Shrayber occasionally texts me screenshots of it to troll me, which I richly deserve
