Those are precisely the choices she is interested in.

That Betsy Devos is even allowed within 50 feet of a school is a testament to why this country is doomed.

Well actually, test scores vis-à-vis the rest of the world have not gone up

And every time time she picks up a thing, there’s another. And there’s another. And there’s another. So I did that. I did it all over the room. I put it under the desk. I put it in the bathroom. I put it in the roll of toilet paper. I put it in the shower. I put it underneath the rug. Imagine how happy that person was!

Caitlyn Jenner now believes that Trump has set back transgender rights 20 years.

I find it utterly terrifying. I am so worried about the girls of the future. There are dudes that watch this shit and think it’s normal and consensual....

Holy Christ. Also: who the fuck enjoys watching this shit?

Good. Since deaths haven’t gotten voters to mobilize against the NRA maybe the threat of losing some of their taxes to that organization in legal fees and settlements will be the thing that does it.

Someone needs to tell the US courts that “arms” means any weapon and not specifically firearms so you can ban everything but the Franklinator and still be within the Second Amendment.

Me too, can we get a Ruby update?

I know that it’s popular trope that all cats hate their owners, but how many of you all have cats that do actually like you?

All three of mine love being around me, and demand to be loved on and cuddled. I’d post a picture of the three them with me on my bed but Kinja is being dumb.

I’m surprisingly invested in learning how things panned out with Ruby.

Hit by a car on the way to the abortion clinic, like in Party of Five!

I’m an old (was an adult during the 80's. This was the very accepted, family-friendly norm to present the sexuality of a young woman on TV. She was a good girl (aka a virgin) being seduced by the dark side. Or she did a bad thing (had sex) and had a very bad outcome (got pregnant). Then she contemplates an abortion…

Looking back on it, you can see the red flag in Cosby’s hyper-fixation on virginity. For example, when Denise elopes and comes home, Cliff asks his new son-in-law if his daughter was a virgin on their wedding night. When the SIL confirmed she was, Cliff has this creepy grin on his face. (I think it was meant to be…

What makes Paul Newman’s action even more interesting is that he did it without outside pressure or posturing. He really was a great guy who walked the walk in so many ways.

Because 30 years ago, Ronald Reagan convinced half the country that the government is evil. The only way anything can work is by privatizing it. The free market and competition will solve everything.
