Biden is overwhelmingly, aggressively committed to doing as little as possible as president.

It is medically impossible to resist that temptation.

“Holmes’ current boyfriend, Kang the Conqueror, declined to comment.”

I just need everyone to know that my brain processed this headline as “Elizabeth Smart Accuses Ex-Boyfriend Thanos of Abuse.”

This is... unsurprising, unfortunately. The list of companies that built themselves up on the backs of sex workers and then banned us is nothing new. See also: literally every online payment processor.

How was the US pulling out now going to have a different outcome had we left in 15 years or left 15 years ago? This was always going to happen.

Many of your points are valid, but there are other factors at play too. Coulda-woulda-shoulda aside, all we have left now are a series of “heartless” options. Leave thousands of US citizens and their Afghan associates behind to die, or send 1000 young Americans in to face a deadly enemy for a what would hopefully be a

The advisors on the ground were the ones saying we couldn’t win, and it was time to cut our losses. The same thing they’ve been saying since 2005, according to the Washington Post.

Yeah, the Taliban was always playing the long game and telling people what they wanted to hear.    It was always going to end like this.  Quite sad.  

There’s no endgame. We've been there for almost two decades. 

Sad to say that this was always the endgame. Afghanistan’s fate was sealed when we failed to nail Bin Laden there before he fled to Pakistan, and also when we decided to use Iraq as the dead cat to distract from having allowed him to flee. After that it was just who was going to be left sitting in the chair when this

Not sure you can blame Biden entirely for this. Clearly the intelligence failed and there was actually no real contingency plan to ensure the Afghans were equipped and ready to defend their land. But, Ghani, the Afghan military and Afghan leaders made a major miscalculation here too. Every POTUS since Obama has been

They should have pulled out back in 2013. There was never any clear end game with the US presence in Afghanistan. Sometimes it’s just better to admit you lost and accept defeat. That decision should have been made long ago. 

Yo, no one cares about your incredibly insulting and bullshit ego-extravaganza take either...

No one currrrr about your boner.

Probably because the ability for the state to mandate vaccination has been settled for 116 years at this point. (Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11). 

Well she’s still not totally free.  She is still under a conservatorship, but at least she’s not under her father’s thumb anymore.

I don’t care how often celebrities bathe since I’m never likely to be in their sniff radii, but I’m crushed that Christina Applegate, who is very funny and who by all accounts seems like a lovely, charitable and all-around quality human, has yet more medical shit to deal with.

Regarding the “eco-conscious” part, I’d like to see some cross-referenced photos of the unwashed celebrities’ mansions, since they tend to have impeccably manicured grounds. If you use 7 metric tons of water on your grass every day, I’m going to side-eye you about the 17 gallons (American average) you saved by
