Having the amazing Nat King Cole play at their wedding sounds awesome.

When your son takes his stepfather’s name, sounds like you’re the one that likely sucks.

His cancer has a survival rate of 3%. He won’t run again because he won’t be alive to do so.

But perhaps McCain’s illness will encourage some rigorous self-reflection, and at last, a change of heart. Perhaps he’ll realize that in his last years, he could take a meaningful stand against his increasingly brutal party—and help to save lives in the process.

Senator McCain, now is your time to shine.

He was fine when he left the factory, and he’s no longer under warranty. You broke him, you bought him, America.

I wonder how much it costs to cancel a big national stadium tour like this? Tickets get refunded but presumably Ticketmaster/Live Nation/those assholes get to keep the “service fees” so they come out a little ahead. There’s probably a fair bit of sunk costs (Presumably mostly on the promo/marketing end) but I can only…

I think the kid has some serious mental illness going on. I actually feel sorry for him. I keep waiting for him to go publicly and spectacularly off the rails, a la Brittney Spears/Lyndsey Lohan/Kanye, etc, but so far he’s been managed pretty carefully. He’s got a lot of people who are dependent on him for their…

Did you know Karlie Kloss is dating his brother Josh? He’s a little cuter but I don’t know about anything else.

Hopefully, you will never find yourself in the position of having to accept the reality that the child you or your partner carried needed to be let go. Obviously, I don’t believe they’ve been making the best decisions for him or for themselves, but as a parent myself, I don’t have any trouble empathizing with their…

I try not to judge them too harshly. What they are going through is so, so painful, and I can understand at least a little that they don’t want to let go, no matter what the doctors say. That said, they needed to face reality, and sooner than now.

They won’t. Now it’ll be weeks or months of US GOP twats using this as ammo against ACA/Obamacare as because “this is what SOCIALIZED!!!! healthcare does”.

Charlie Gard’s parents have finally decided to give up their legal fight a day before this latest hearing would conclude (likely against them) when their own doctor agreed with GOSH that the treatment would be pointless.

Me: Able to afford my $6000 of monthly medication for my chronic disease because it comes out to about $20 with ACA insurance. A plus: I get to keep my large intestine for a while longer.

Me- in AZ preexsisting condition, never was able to get married, own my property or work for more than $800 a month (I have 2 degrees) so I could be on Medicaid

Ooo, I’ll add mine!

aww You’re sweet. My aunt made it through chemo and is doing really well, and my little cousins are growing up to be not-so-little anymore. You are very right that we all take our health for granted when we’re healthy. No one ever knows when it will be taken away from them. Just look at John McCain.

I’ll join in.

A very good online friend had cancer and we all knew she would not make it to season 3. Some other friends in show biz contacted the show and told them what was happening and asked for some help so she could see what happened. A VP from Sony showed up at her hospice with season 3 in hand and 3 days before she died,…
