“was worn as a mark of respect.”

Maybe so. My supposition was solely based on Paltrow referencing the kids, but if I had reporters asking me personal questions 200 times a day, it’s possible I might not always be entirely truthful with them.

Also, while decriminalization sounds to me like the best option, right now I don’t feel we have enough data to back that up. Hopefully there will be more solid research in the future.

Perhaps, but that’s not my first thought, since Paltrow & husband went on their honeymoon with his kids, her kids, her ex, and her ex’s current partner. Maybe the kids are just having difficulty adjusting.

Common sense is not all that common, and if googling always led to sensible answers, we wouldn’t have anti-vaxxers.

It’s not what I’d want for myself, but I’ve heard of couples keeping separate houses right next to each other, or two apartments in the same building. Some people need their space, I guess.

We are already well on our way. Trump is a tool for evangelicals (including Pence), and he is happy to help them achieve their goals.

More likely: “my girls”.

This is not for roads, but still a fun and useful site: https://www.harriscountyfws.org/

They did not succeed. They tried, by refusing to sign off on that testimony being entered into record. It was entered into record anyway.

Considering the Trump track record on paying bills, I don't think that pub owner should hold his breath waiting for payment.

How many years has it been running? It might be time for it to be over. I enjoy the show, but there doesn’t need to be 5,000 seasons of it.

When I said “we”, I didn’t mean just individuals. We, as a species, still have time to mitigate climate change. Will we? It’s doable, but who knows if governments and corporations will do what is necessary.

Pence is foul and would continue to suppress science - as well as continuing much of the other shit we are currently seeing from this administration - but there are a few reasons I would prefer him to Trump (I would prefer almost anyone to Trump. Being better than Trump is not a high bar.) I doubt so many people would…

“the internet is basically just a couple of blogs, some porn, and a shitload of death threats being sent everywhere, all the time.”

So many of them won’t be, though. I am middle aged, and I expect climate change to have an increased impact within my lifetime. Maybe they don’t understand how fast it’s happening, or maybe they think they will be insulated by their money, but climate change is going to hit their wallets, too. Insurance companies…

Yes, immigration policy is economic policy, but you are wrong if you are saying immigrants are bad for our economy. They are not. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2016/10/02/3-reasons-why-immigrants-key-to-economic-growth/#2586a5197dab

Didn’t one of them already offer to send him up? I forget if it was Bezos or Musk.

You’d still be in the position of asking any female employees who are coming from outside the state to risk a lot by working in your production.

I would not be surprised if it was a bit of both. Thinking women are liers + thinking 21 years is too much for rape anyway = they let him go free.
