Yep, zoo animals are bored *now*

I’ve enjoyed the videos of zoo keepers just deciding to...show random animals to each other. Like the beluga trying to figure out wtf the giant iguana was.

In terms of actual work done, your “low-level” worker beats the “highly trained” executive 10 times out of 10, while being remunerated less, by orders of magnitude. Check yourself.

I’ve been using Greek yogurt with a squeeze of lemon juice in place of mayo in tuna salad for years.  You’ll hardly notice the difference.  

45* has referred to himself as a ‘wartime President’ over the past few days. And you know, if we’re at war, maybe it’s time for governments to do as was done during WWII when companies were directed to repurpose their factories to produce items needed for the war effort. If a company has a factory building medical…

Hand sanitizer works in a pinch, but hand washing is a more effective way to kill germs.

Counterpoint: in general, we need to move away from the idea that every last policy needs to be means-tested, and granted only to “the deserving”, because “the deserving” is how they get us every single time.

That was a good one, right?!?  My mom explained the Gene Tierney connection to me after I read it and I’ve been fascinated by it ever since.

Any of the Democratic candidates would have done all that stuff though. 

Just because you voted for someone who didn’t win doesn’t mean your vote doesn’t matter. 

Down-ballot races are just as important, and in some ways more important, than the presidential vote, and they are places where your vote carries much more weight. Republicans won big in 2010-16 by running for everything down to local dog catcher, and wrapped up dozens of state governments as a result. 

Do you think the only tools in your disposal are your primary and general election presidential votes?

that is very noticeable. He’s not to Trump’s (impeached) level but Joe is on the downhill slope. I just cannot believe this fucking country. You hear Elizabeth Warren speak, you hear Kamala Harris speak and you hear concise, cogent, reasoned, impassioned, complete thoughts. You hear the old white fucks speak (and…

I’m not sure I’d agree that Trump is in the fittest physical health out of the three (and he’s not exactly transparent about anything), but this election is once again confirmation that we need an age cap.

uuuuh what the hell are you even talking about? “Hot Ones” is a youtube series where people eat super spicy wings. Which probably results in intestinal trouble regardless of your medical history.

It typically helps that retirees have buckets of free time, and I believe it’s midterms for a lot of college students. When your options are a 6 hour line to vote or 20% of your final grade, you’ll probably bail on a primary. Also, if memory serves, a lot of red states have done their best to limit the ability of…

You don’t understand: Bernie Sanders cannot fail; he can only be failed. Bernie Sanders does not wrong; he can only be wronged.
