He should definitely do a little more reading and find out what his heroes thought about people with disabilities.

I love your description of the shoulder pad buildup so much.

Big hair, shoulder pads and an 80's soundtrack?! It can’t help but be trashy!

I grew up on a farm about45 miles from Vance AFB which used to be (maybe still?) a training center for jets.  All summer long when we’d have new-ish jet jocks circling our farm in T38's.  We had one quarter that was the highest point in the county and had a single, easily spotted tree on top of it (it was used as a…

My ground school instructor way back in high school (early 80's) was a former Marine fixed wing pilot who made his living crop-dusting. As part of emergency instructions he pointed out that we should always be aware of differences in the color of any open fields because in NW Oklahoma (wheat country) a dark field…

My response to that - as well as the “concern” that the vaccine could cause infertility - is, “yeah okay, and what exactly would be the molecular mechanism of that?”  There is none.  These are scientifically illiterate people, and we’re living in a world where people refuse to trust experts with PhDs who know more…

I’m in a blue area, but with enough red dots that I’ll probably be masking up again. I actually had a weird reaction with a swollen lymph node after my 1st shot, which was a little concerning but not enough to stop me from getting the 2nd shot. I’m fully vaccinated now, and if they offer boosters I’ll be lining up for…

I’m so disappointed in my personal lack of magnetism, it would free up my hands carrying all my junk into work in morning, where are my office keys? Not jingling annoyingly in my pocket anymore!

Dispatch from Los Angeles:

My uncle missed the polio vaccine by 6 months, and got infected. He was one of the lucky ones who relearned how to walk, but post-polio syndrome is unforgiving, and in old age (84), he’s lost all the mobility/independance he’d regained.

What a ridiculous thing to say.  If a two ton safe fell on your leg and crushed it would they tell you to get over it because the pain is similar to labor and you’d be prepared?  Who the hell wants to be prepared for the pain of labor by having extra pain?  That reminds me of that old joke: what do you all the person…

It’s absolute lunacy not to get vaccinated! As you well know, get the shot(s) and probably not get sick or even if you somehow do, you’re probably not going to get very sick. Refuse and you will probably get it at some point and maybe become very sick or die. And you’re a damn potential walking disease vector for…

My brother is a coronavirologist, and has been studying coronaviruses for 24+ years. He says that the virus’s only goal.is to survive, and in order to do so, it’s going to mutate in ways that make it easier to spread and harder for it to kill its host, because a dead person can’t spread the virus to anyone else.…

Trump would reportedly routinely ask anyone in the White House who did wear a mask to remove it in his presence.

As a former valedictorian, former Texan, and current abortion care worker: Hell to the Fucking Yes. What courage and smarts she has to do this. Talking about abortion bans in a valedictorian speech is gutsy even in a liberal state. To do so in Texas, even more so times ten.

The trick is tapping them, then guessing wildly as to it’s ripeness.

What if we built some kind of guide system for these autonomous trucks right into the road, so that the truck didn’t have to steer itself the whole time and can instead just follow a track, since there will be tons of trucks driving the exact same route? Then what if instead of just one tractor pulling one trailer, we…

Capped off by the text that begins with him referencing “ALLLLL of this”, as though his cute, average-sized wife is going to need to be loaded into her own, separate U-Haul truck for transport. This guy remains just as gross as he was way back when he first became lodged into pop culture consciousness. Barf!

And if they’re moving from SF to AZ they’re gonna be in for a big surprise...
