Like that friend who wants you and the person who treats you like shit for no reason to get along by having you do more emotional labor and letting them walk all over you.

It’s the fallacy of the middle mixed with a strange American centrist fetishism. Meander around online enough and you’ll meet a whole class of “superior centrists” who think they’re so much better than partisans despite the fact that they usually are partisan and misinformed.

If you want know what the average Trump voter thinks, turn on Fox News. Hell, its what Trump thinks.

For some reason, the NYT, and NPR have adopted the policy that they need to fight the “liberal bias.” They never will, their platonic ideal of journalism that never existed to begin with is not achievable. they will never convince republicans that they are neutral. these people still believe in supply side economics…

This is where all the liberal hand-wringing leads us. If I see one more “Volk of der Heartland” piece which explains to us latte-sippers just what those inexplicable people are thinking so we can understand them better, I’m going to fucking scream. Mostly I’ve learned that what they think is not worth listening to.

I watched an HBO doc called Mommy Dead and Dearest. It was about young woman named Gypsy Rose Blanchard who convinced her mentally ill boyfriend to kill her mother. Gypsy’s mother had Munchausens by proxy. Gypsy’s mother drugged her, made her get multiple unnecessary surgeries, forced her to spend her entire life in a…

Happy Thanksgiving, Velocirapstar. I am always happy to see your posts in this space. It’s not a surprise to me at all that you do such valuable work in your day job as well. Hope you get some well-deserved rest time this weekend!

I hope independent Senator Not Sure will finally join the Democratic Party, guy seems to have a lot of momentum

I’m annoyed that Bernie is on that graph.

If I have any sort of surface to use my laptop on, I’m plugging in my mouse (and yes, I prefer a corded mouse because I don’t have to keep up with spare batteries).

The donors can fuck right off if they’re anything like Cloobeck.

Hopefully no one ever mentions Eric Garcetti again and he falls into a sewer somewhere.

A resounding hell no to these neo-liberal also rans. I want Elizabeth Warren, fullstop.

Can you do a follow up story about the Google Rewards app knowing that I watched The Brady Bunch and then asking me a question a few hours later. It has to be listening. Too random.

55 year old men who do that are not neophytes. That pose spoke to his worldview, and you bet your ass it was a power trip. That photo was meant to humiliate her. Did you not read the original article and her account?

....Yet the EU is a joke, a capitalist framework that has become a front for German banks, who use their power to browbeat Greece and Spain while the German state sells diesel submarines to Israel.

Well, the investors, execs and owners are about to get a massive tax cut. That should trickle down to lower healthcare costs, lol.

Congratulations, you have contributed to why people don’t come forward!

Great article. There are modern extrathoracic negative pressure ventilators that are comparatively small and unobtrusive. They’re phenomenally expensive to use and service, but luckily we don’t live in some kind of crazy dystopia in which only the fortunate and wealthy have access to modern medical technology and…

One fun context clue to figure out if this question wasn’t appropriate is that the woman who was asked the question is saying that it wasn’t appropriate.
