Yeah, my dad was the life of the fucking party and my enabler grandma would defend his BS to her grave. He was an alcoholic (he’s over 20 years sober and we have been rebuilding a relationship now) and would say horrible shit to me when I was growing up.

Well fuck me sideways. I’ve worked in juvenile justice facilities, and the idea that a judge would send a 9 and 10 year old — assuming against all reason that the 15 year old has actually done some unnamed thing to deserve this — to one to teach their older brother and mother a lesson defies fucking reason.

Mel Gibson and John Travolta join them on my list.

You do know that thiomersal was an extremely effective and safe preservative and the uncritical and unscientific hysteria over it actually caused the deaths of infants and children which makes people who spread the unsubstantiated fear mongering bullshit about it the actual public health hazard. People like you, in…
