Red state here, and the teacher’s unions have less and less power with the undermining of unioned public schools by non-union charter schools. There was some moaning in the blue dot of the state, but the teachers are back in school. The scary part is that with it being a red state, there are probably very few teachers…

*Most* American Roman Catholics are usually pro-science (except of course for the abortion issue) and pro-modern medicine. They are pretty antiquated with a lot of issues, but not with vaccines.

Oh she’s a rightwinger 100% and none of this should be surprising. Poster girl for Jesus is Love and #boymom bossbabe. 

Funny, not into social media, and likes nature is something incel wants?

Carrie Underwood is anti-mask and most likely anti-vax as well.  Remember, she’s a hardcore Catholic.  Also, her music is garbage.  I look forward to the day that she’s a footnote in the annals of country music and makes her living doing fly-by-night backwater casino tours. 

I can’t comment on the book, as I haven’t read it, but I did attend that TED Women event and heard Baldoni speak. Later that day, I had the opportunity to chat with him individually. He seemed to be trying to do the right thing. If memory serves, his dad was in the audience, and he said it was hard for him to talk…

Maybe it’s because I’m 38 and have been married, to the most “feminist” guy that I know, for 12 years... but this whole article feels like it’s dumping on a man who is earnestly trying to be a better man. If he’s found to have been a dick or a predator, or covering for a predator, then go ahead on down this path.

No problem. We’re going to have a lot of extras, since a third of our population is really, really stupid.

This article is about as useless as the book allegedly is.

If bribery isn’t effective enough, by the end of June it might be time for reverse psychology. Announce that the vaccine will only remain available in blue states with priority being given to immigrants, particularly the undocumented, and everything past that will be distributed at the border or donated to countries…

I love Out of Sight. Such a good movie, and her chemistry with George held my interest throughout the film. I think it was some of the best work I have seen from each of them.

Out of Sight is always a pleasure to watch. Something about Jennifer Lopez and George Clooney, they really sold it on screen together in that one.

I’m sure the British press will find someway to blame this all on Meghan Markle!

I’m for prison abolition except for white collar crime. Basically, just serial killers and white collar criminals in jail together.

Resistance Democrats are so damn simple. The last five years has been an embarrassing whitewashing of dangerous politicians just to score points against Trump. 

You can’t. There are people who run scams to make money because that’s how they eat, and then there are people who run scams because they think it’s funny. The latter are, if not sociopaths, unredeemable.

I think the best possible outcome for all is to have both parties split into multiple smaller parties.

I think this thing between Cheney and Trump can be smoothed out.  Her dad just needs to invite him hunting.

This is one of those very few situations that shakes my general position as being pro-prison abolition. Like most fraud, this was clearly a deliberated upon scheme to cheat people perpetratrated by a person with plenty of options and prospects. I don’t know how you rehabilitate whatever it is that makes a person…

ha ha.  “Develop a backbone”?  Not bloody likely.
