One of the most recent fires tried to take out Reagan! When I was checking Twitter for news of the fire’s location, it was filled with conservative prayers to save the Reagan library. Trump missed an opportunity to pander all because of his blind hatred for California.

I had to delete my social media because I couldn’t stand the lack of conversation after moving far away from my friends. Social media tricks people into thinking they’re keeping in touch, if I posted something hoping for conversation with people I missed, instead I just got a handful of likes. Because people have

What truly enrages me is that I’m paying money loaned by the government for tuition to a government school and now someone is turning a profit on the interest. Tuition is making up the difference as government funding is cut, the money is still often coming from government subsidized loans, and as we struggle to pay

Yep, yep, yep. I can’t afford to pay rent where I live but at least I can go to the doctor -- not my favorite compromise to be in. I’m only not homeless because I live with family. I don't expect my insurance to be this good next year, I've already received notice that it's changing. 

My union provided health insurance already comes with no premium for me, which is great. But candidates keep bringing up unions as an argument against medicare for all. I would much rather my union spend time bargaining for better pay and leave policies than trying to protect our insurance. Every year costs go up and

I can squirrel away money to buy an expensive phone every 3-4 years. This does nothing to increase my income in a high cost of living area or help me save tens of thousands of dollars for a down payment. 

There’s no privacy and people are more obsessive about looking productive (she types in her office). I’ve had offices where employers didn’t even want us listening to music or podcasts while we did monotonous tasks because they didn’t like the way it looked. I wish more people minded their business at work. 

I remember my dad having a TV in his office when I was a kid, he was always watching something during his office hours. I just think employers over the last few decades have way cracked down on anything that doesn't look like productivity. No room for anyone to have their own work style or routine.

I scrolled all the way through these comments just to be sure someone else posted about these chairs. These are the absolute worst chairs in existence. I’m amazed I haven’t yet seen anyone collapse to the ground sitting in one. They’re already wobbly, regardless of what surface they’re sitting on, but the legs are

Thoughts and prayers and more tax dollars to save the Ark, please. 

The Tick was incredible and deserved another season, I refuse to watch this just out of spite. 

Nah, I wrote Nye off when we elected to debate Ken Ham about creationism, which provided a platform for Ham to raise money to open his stupid Ark Park. 

Yes, I wish they'd had more time to make this point. Not to mention the number of people working freelance these days. Can you imagine how many people could quit their jobs and take risks like starting a small business or getting more education to switch careers if they didn't need to worry about insurance?

Democrats moving further to the right hasn’t been winning elections in Kentucky. Dems used to run our state government, but the candidates have moved further and further right and now they can’t win. 

The entire time I was watching that I was trying to figure out who the target audience was supposed to be and wondering if anyone was asking for Perez to be relevant again, even for a moment.

It was so blatant! Even for MTV. 

The men of The Hills have always been trash. Justin Bobby has always been greasy and even Audrina can do better. I loved the original show because I was (am) the same age as Lauren, I’m so excited it’s back. I was going through an abusive relationship at the time and seeing Heidi and Spencer’s relationship unfold on

All of the men on this show are trash and all of the women deserve better. 

He won his first election because no one showed up to vote, but since then he’s pissed off the teacher’s union and you don’t piss off Kentucky teachers and win reelection. 

I've been unemployed for 10 months and I think a situation like this might actually kill me unless they paid off my husband's student loans or paid me a hefty fucking fee.
