Well, she probably wasn’t too smart to begin with if she’s using Flakka. Also that giant cross is quite the fashion statement.

To me he’s Uncle Joe, are we related?

What a wonderful and memorable experience for your daughter!!!

A week or two before she died (sniff), my grandma and I had the best conversation. She told me that she’d voted Republican for years because she lived with my parents and just kind of went along with it. But before that, she was a Democrat. She was so excited about the possibility that HRC might become a presidential…

I know what Code Switch is. The point of that podcast is to discuss race and identity. Are you talking about “casual racism” toward white people? Are you talking about white people being “judged” by their skin color?

Fair enough. But I hope we will not combat propaganda with more propaganda.

I also overate but fortunately, it was balanced by a loss of appetite in the aftermath. Also, my skin looks like shit now.

People who work at NPR might be liberal, but they do excellent fact-based reporting. They also strive for balance when they have roundtable discussions or opinion segments. I used to do guest spots on a fairly big NPR affiliate and the regional reporters there were some of the best I’ve ever met.

As I mentioned to another commenter who managed to write an essay in response to my comment, it’s not like everything Breitbart publishes is false, but they are definitely pushing a narrative and don’t care if facts get in the way. I should’ve directed that person to the choice headlines Jez published recently.

Yes, let’s all read Breitbart so we can understand how dumb women are and how to decode dog whistles about race (some of which are hardly dog whistles at all). Sure, they have a lot of actual news on there, but if you think they are a fully legitimate news source I don’t know what to tell you. I don’t consider HuffPo…

My mom is on FB, but never goes on there (probably because she couldn’t stomach some of the posts by me and my best friend, who uses the word fuck a bit liberally). My dad is like, “What-book-now?” My mom only ever sends me dog-related or other very tame memes and jokes. Both of them are conservative but either keep…

Seattle, which I assume is home to many awesome tattoo artists, but thanks for the recommendation offer!

Exactly!

A friend of mine, who sadly died last year, seemed fairly progressive for a Christian (he lived in L.A. and had friends of every sort, including a lot of minorities). He was a good person but he’d quote or post from Breitbart occasionally. I finally told him it was NOT a reliable news source and that it leaned…

HRC is made of tungsten on the inside and Teflon on the outside. She is extraordinary and I would have been proud to have her as my president. I hope she is doing chill grandma stuff and enjoying her life again.

You are so right. The hardcore anti-vaxxers I know voted third party or abstained because Hillary was SO CORRUPT blergle blergle blergle that in good “conscience” they just couldn’t vote for her, despite their supposedly progressive values.

I don’t recall him using language that would get him banned. I think he toes the line just enough to stick around. I rather enjoy dismissing him though. I wish we could collectively dismiss Trump from the American timeline.

That sounds great, I’ll have to look into it (I haven’t been on FB since six months before the debacle, because I believe in the preservation of sanity).

Yuge. Genius. You’re one of my faves, Tabby G.

Snake is ready to sacrifice his life after being unfairly co-opted by the Tea Party.
