Good.  Riding a Greyhound is bad enough without ICE.

“U.S. Soccer Federation Says Men and Women Who Play Soccer Aren’t Doing the Same Job”

And a huge dose of internalized shame because of a culture of rugged individualism. 

Fun fact: “Minnesota nice” has never been a compliment. It describes a kind of passive-aggressive cheeriness that masques straight up hatefulness.

I do the same these days and kind of prefer when there’s no bagger at the end so I can just do it myself.

It took me a moment of searching my web history and I found an article about Buttigieg and why he uses the campaign like a popularity contest. It’s a very good read:

Bizarre tone here. Instead of “centering on the victim” you’re leveraging her abuse into some weird tone policing argument, while treating her abuse as a handy prop. 

Just chiming in to say: kudos to your mom for being better than her own mother.

Yeah I gotta say, the “I’m all done now!” makes it pretty clear he’s referring to this interview which from what I’ve heard those press junket tours are just horrible. 

Is this where we shake our fist and shout “We’ll get you yet Stone!”, as he hops into a black speed boat and rides off into the night?

It’s just so regressive. This view of women’s sexuality as something uniquely sacred that isn’t allowed to be commodified when nearly everything else on the planet is. If they really hate exploitation why aren’t they against all capitalism? Why zero in on this one form of work? And usually the same “feminists” who are…

A wild Chet Haze competitor appears!

Yo seriously this gives me pause every time I read it. I just don't know what to think 😭

Dumb question, what are you supposed to use for seasoning steak other then S&P, or maybe Mtl steak spice? It’s pretty easy to give it a low temp smoke and then sear it at the end for the delicious crust but still get it med-rare or whatever, you just use one of those instant thermometers. If you let it sit for a bit…

No, he just needs somewhere to put his uncashed $350,000 checks.

Look at someone like Louis Gohmert or Devin Nunes. They’re not smarter than a bar towel.

Smartest thing a local bar owner I’ve seen do is actually pay for all the drinks him and his wife drink every night, as well as charge all the comps to his tab. His logic is that “the profits” of his drinks will come back in his pockets, and otherwise, he’s paying for the cost anyways.

I think there’s a sizeable number of older white folks who like their candidates to be “interesting” (young, gay), but not too interesting (loudly gay, annoyingly progressive, posessed of a visible soul). Pete appeals to these folks because he represents the sort of bland liberalism that won’t rock the boat, or do…

After 20 years in the restaurant/bar business one of the things that still sticks with me is how many restaurant and bar owners have never worked in the business. This is a huge reason for the failure rate in the first 18 months being 75% instead of a lower number.

I’m glad to hear there are now therapists willing to work with people who have sexual thoughts about children but do not want to act on them or harm anyone. For a long time I feel like the subject was so taboo that even people who desperately wanted help were shunned by trained professionals who feared their…
