She chose her gilded cage, and she can rot in it!

It isn’t an accident when one’s target demographic is brainwashed, paranoid old people who think the brown people are coming to get them. They’re easily impressed, so higher production values aren’t needed.

Unfortunately, they’re likely immune to it. Most people buying this crap probably have the vaccination scar, too. 🙄

I also figured I’d post this, as it documents how the cause and treatment of celiac disease was unlocked by a Dutch pediatrician, Dr. Willem Karel Dicke, after observations made during the Hongerwinter. There’s a paragraph mentioning that the doctor’s young son met an American soldier, and the first black person he…

My maternal family came to Canada from the Netherlands, and Canadian troops’ role in liberating the old country from the Nazis is the major reason why they chose this country to settle down and start their life together. The Netherlands had a lot of pieces to pick up, after the war was over, and there weren’t enough…

If you can, I recommend getting your hands on a high CBD, trace THC strain (about 20:1 ratio, at least). There’s not enough THC to really notice it in there. No high, no paranoia, no racing thoughts, no “WTF was I doing, again?” absentmindedness... it provides relaxing anti-anxiety effects (I have an anxiety disorder,…

I hope so! Hers would be a much more aspirational gig than VS for Carmen Carrera, I think.

Bernie’s a strong supporter of hers, he could easily spot her some funds until she gets her salary... if there’s no political conflict of interest/violation in doing that, of course.

Maybe all of the food-stench-causing people should get a car to themselves. See how they like it when they have to compete with each other’s food stenches concentrated in one spot.

Yup. Conservatism is about slowing down change, while progressivism embraces it, embraces humanity’s vast potential to innovate and improve upon itself. The more we can peacefully coexist and cooperate with one another, the more we can realize our potential. Conservatism look laterally, combatively, at fellow humans;…

No doubt there are issues with the high c-section rate and low patient autonomy, re: medical intervention... but when the “better” alternative for a significant number of people is shit like this, it’s time we step up the quality of public science education and clamp down on the barely-regulated charlatans…

I would very much like for someone to ask her (without her advanced preparation) if she thinks it would have been okay to get made up as someone with albinism, for Hallowe’en... and capture her response on video. Whether she says yes or no, she’d come off looking like a horrible mother (to reasonable people, anyway).

I love Michelle Gomez’ performance, but there are also many other great actors in it, too. I damn near squealed when I saw Richard Coyle on my screen (I’ve adored him since Lorna Doone), then there’s Miranda Otto (who even reminds me of a darker, more serious version of the Zelda from the 90s sitcom). I’m not so…

What the fuck? I’ve never experienced this phenomenon of adults going around begging for candy like that. The only time that would be acceptable is if a kid got sick and couldn’t go out on Hallowe’en, so their parent went in their place to get them their haul... and I’d still expect a “trick or treat” and a brief…

I’d be willing to give out toothbrushes (if I had the money), but I would still give out candy along with them. I wouldn’t be the jerk who only gave toothbrushes.

Most people I know of who are involved in MLM “adult novelties” aren’t all that bright... otherwise they’d be doing something better for a living.

These people have no sense of irony, do they? Their fans (at least their fans, if not the politicians themselves) don’t seem to grasp nuance very well, either. Present their fans with a subject, an argument, and they’ll usually draw all-or-nothing conclusions in response. No surprise that studies have found them to be…

Maybe Weird Al will take one for the team and allow Trump to use the much more appropriate “Tacky”. It even mentions Kanye!

Honestly, The Simpsons should have ended at least a decade ago, if not more. Of course a show which has cartoon characters conceived 25-30 years ago is going to be problematic. We can appreciate older creative works within the context of their time, like with children’s books, or old TV shows long since ended... but…

That is... not all that similar, really.
