Oh, Ian. They’re going to fire you for not making this a slide show. 

Mind you, I’m kind of a grinch, so I’m not a big fan of many Christmas songs, but Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” tops the list of worst for me.  It is just the laziest damn song, a lot of the runtime eaten up just repeating “Simply having a wonderful Christmastime”.  It is just torture to listen to.

Yeah, Majors certainly does not come across as a likeable or relatable person. And he seems to have his own issues with being overeager to present himself in the most positive light possible, even in ways that are so implausible that they make him seem untrustworthy.

There ought to be a presumption of innocence in a court of law. In the court of public opinion, anything goes.

This is a constant rag against artists who are political AND popular. And these artists always have to make a choice: do it anarcho and DIY, and play to rooms where you’re preaching to the choir of tens maybe twenties of people; or “sell out” so your art is on the shelves of Best buy and Walmart, but the people who

The idea that if you’re a socialist living in a capitalist system you should for some reason refuse to make any money is one of the dumber one’s out there. Socialists don’t take an oath of poverty, you know.

Not only that, but we're the MAJORITY by a country mile. In 2016, the AMA published the largest study ever conducted regarding abortions, with over 200k women participating. Over 98% of them did not regret their abortion. 98%. Those who regret fall into two categories: They were coerced or they were from religious

Republicans: “BANS DON’T WORK, HANDS OFF MY GUNS!”

Also Republicans: Ban Drag Queen, Ban Books, Ban Islam, Ban Gay Marriage, Ban Abortion, Ban Climate Change Legislation, Ban Gender Affirming Care, Ban Free School Lunches, Ban Student Loan Forgiveness, Ban Aide to Ukraine.....

We tired of these people yet?
Vote Blue

My wife and I did early in-person voting this morning. Two votes for yes on 1 (and 2 BTW). Now it’s up to the rest of the state. I’m encouraged by how MANY people turned out to defeat the Right’s attempt to remove Issue 1 from the ballot back in August.

This is a strange list, not the least because of the cited logic of the deliberate choice to drop Margo in favor of Aleida. The former showed a pretty reasonable representation of what it took to be a woman in both STEM and management in the 70s, 80s, and even 90s; the other has magical plot armor that prevented her

So this guy could get out and shoot people instead of just hitting their cars with a pipe?

Feels like Spike’s entry is underplaying things a bit.  “We can never forgive him for hitting Buffy”; he didn’t just hit Buffy, he attempted to rape her. Granted that it was pre-soul and all, but still.

Now playing

Yeah, you have Bowie on there, but not even the best, or 2nd or 3rd best Bowie video. The videos from ★ were definitely his best work, specifically the title track.

I don’t think more people understand DV or CC. I think that son probably thought that his parent’s relationship was fine because he never put his hands on her. That doesn’t mean there was some sort of coercive control going on there. It’s not uncommon for the first time of physicals violence to end in death for the

This right here is the reason why I’ll never have a gun in my house or live with/be in a relationship with a gun owner. The risk of someone losing control of themselves and making a bad snap decision is too much. I’ve got one particular relative who owns guns and we respectfully disagree on this issue. He thinks that

We’re talking about its temporary use in children. Not perpetual use. Fortunately there is medical guidance for these decisions. Not strangers on the internet.

You do not get to decide what a child identifies as. Ever. Your argument that because we think bodily autonomy is an inherent right we automatically crave prepubescent flesh is..... really weird. 

You aren't a "normie". You're a willfully ignorant bigot. "Normies" actually don't think or care about trans issues very much unless conservatives are shoving their lies in everyone's face. You're trying to make your bigotry seem like "a few concerns" but we see you. 

What ideas? If you feel that people are in a bubble, now seems like the opportune moment to burst it. Someone asked a genuine question. Someone finding a medical procedure disturbing isn’t really valid to me generally. Plenty of medical procedures are disturbing and aren’t generally contested. No one is trying to

I just watched the whole video and it didn’t seem off in anyway. What exactly was disturbing to you? The doctor was very straight forward and didn’t mention anything other than puberty blockers, which are reversible,
