Putin essentially just legalized domestic abuse, and apparently we now know that where he goes, Trump and the rest of the GOP will follow... Someone`ll put forward something that tries to penalize current/ex wives for speaking out against senators and congressmen (I`d say congress *people*, but we know no one gives a…

Sigh. Trudeau is good at glad-handing, and he’s not a complete idiot but he’s far from a serious statesman. As far as a progressive agenda goes, Trudeau made several promises that haven’t been delivered (he has approved 2 pipelines, not just one, with more in the works - and electoral reform is a *big* broken promise…

Not dragging feet at all, it really does take a long time to create an entirely new legislative and regulatory framework. People have been working on this issue *frantically* for the past 18 months (there wasn’t even a program or staff that existed to do this work before, everything had to be created from scratch). If…

I have a cousin like that, although his parents are devout Catholics they’re also very progressive (it’s a weird combo, but they’re lovely people). He was an art hippie through school and has just turned into an awful, Bush and Trump supporting, Breitbart reading asshole in his 40s now. I have a lot of cousins, no one…

Yeah I didn’t think of that - and not the good fresh french fry smell, the old, stale, it’s-3:00 a.m.-and-I-just-finished-my-shift-at-Taco-Bell-and-the-cheese-machine-barfed-on-me smell...

Ew, that’s true too...

stick shift...

I read a story once which featured a pack of activist hippies living in a converted Winnebago that ran on used fry oil from fast food restaurants - it sounded hilarious (and weirdly eco-conscious), though if I could get a Mustang onto that I probably wouldn`t admit to anyone that I was trolling the dumpsters at…

First thing I thought of too*! She looks amazing, that dress is a million times better than B’s too... (yes, I said it, come at me Bey-yotches!)

Eeeexcellunt buried gif there...

It is, Ellie talks about it in her section - I did think it said wanking until I continued reading though :)

I’ve loved some songs off most of his albums (Sweet Carolina is gorgeous, as is Wrecking Ball), but haven’t loved a whole album until 1989 - and yet I hate TS. Apparently I’m very musically confused... 

Yeah this is more in line with what I’ve heard about him, lots of douchey addict behaviour...

Maybe they are the same person fucking around with everyone - they have the same birthday!

My mother, the head of her high school department in Ontario, who speaks three languages and has a master’s degree + about four specialists certifications, made $100K. She should’ve been paid way more for what she put into her school, but at least her work was fairly compensated.

There are lots of books, including one by her daughter Lorna Luft, but I`m not sure which are actually any good, there`s so much rumour-mongering and sensational crap written about her life, it`s hard to get a sense of how appallingly she was treated - here`s one article I recall reading:

I never saw those! Or if I did I don`t recall, I was 3 in 78 :) I`ve marked them for watching later this evening...

oh my christ those hot dogs are making my very soul cringe...

I thought this was already pretty well known? That and the fact that Garland was basically forcibly drugged throughout the filming, that she was strapped down so tight in costumes that she had sores, and that the majority of her costars (with the exception of the Wicked Witch of the West and one of the three stooges -…

There are jesus freak earth hippies out there though (Eden Organics is owned by one!). They manage to simultaneously try and uphold worthy goals such as the conservation and sustainability of the “natural”* world, while at the same time and with total logical inconsistency, refusing to acknowledge the entirely natural…
