Chafee is like my favorite pair of gloves that I lost in the winter and didn’t find again until the following summer. It’s good to see you but I don’t need you right now. To the bottom of the sock drawer with you, Linc.

I’m super fed up with facts not mattering. That everyone deserves their own opinion even when it’s counter to reality. All you have to do is google what you want to know, there’s a crack-pot for every lid. Experts are denigrated for being ‘elite’ instead of being appreciated for their knowledge and hard work.

I seriously don’t know how to fight something like this.

My paternal genetic donor who is a trump supporter loves going on about the articles he reads on Facebook like they are the holy grail of knowledge.

“That’s been around forever. If you keep reporting on it, it’s going to grow like a cancer,” Paula said. “If you forget about it, it’s probably going to go away. The media has to hop on everything and it’s wrong.”

The real problem is that voting is a right, not a privilege to be taken away when you misbehave. The crowning moment was when she asked the old lady about the last time they spoke and she said that Reince “Pubis” had to go but now that he is CoS it was a smart move. These people have their narrative shaped and would…

AND to couch this in terms of protecting public safety is complete bullshit. The state government and law enforcement have been setting up unnecessary barricades and blockades and positioning themselves across from the camp as a line of fully-geared riot police so that the press can take photos of a scene that is…

“Law enforcement has requested,” huh? Fuck this. Everyone from law enforcement, the federal and state government, large corporations, and some small community businesses have acted nefariously in North Dakota. This is INEXCUSABLE. This is criminal, unethical, and inhumane. This is genocide. All of this is happening in…

I give you a CBP agent going through the stack of Arabic books in my luggage, a play in one act:

Oh God. Coming back from the Middle East a month after 9/11 and I got the third degree, from two different people, about why I had been where I was (work), why was I doing that work (paycheck, it’s fun), and why was I coming to America at this time (because I was born here; why the fuck do you think I’m coming back…

I bet that doesn’t get made up for in a day of dollar an hour no health insurance fruit picking. Thanks for sniffing out the one half-truth in that paragraph of excrement. You are a credit to this thread

Hi, I can help with this:

Cardinals fans, amiright?

“We have black lives matter written in our window”

This was superb, and made me laugh. Well done.

Thank you so much. That was our intention; it was in the news in Texas but wasn’t getting enough national attention so we’ve been sharing it online and sending the story to various news outlets. I feel so useless in the face of such tragedy but getting her story heard helps a little.

Thank you so much for your generosity. Jackie’s family is so appreciative of all the donations. And internet hugs are always appreciated <3 I’ve been reading Jez for years and always found the comment section to be warm and supportive; sad that this story prompted me to create an account but the kind thoughts are very…

Very sorry for your loss. If it’s any consolation (maybe in a few months when the shock of her dying has worn off), the story has gone viral (I just saw 3 shares on my facebook feed) and people are paying attention - her killer will not be able to Ethan Couch his way out of this.

The attraction is normal. Acting on it isn't, and especially if you are in a parent/child relationship. It was his responsibility to protect her from it, and he failed her. Further I would argue that he groomed her and preyed upon her.

But you have plenty of desire to comment about your lack of desire to sympathize or understand someone whose experiences were not yours. Got it. Thanks for stopping by.
