Speaking a a person who works at a non-profit that takes outside/gently used donations for our clients I can tell you where all that junk ends up. We throw away tons of those "toys" on the daily.

I was listening to BBC this morning and there was a story about stem cell research being done in Edinburgh that could lead to the ability to regrow cartilage, making hip and knee replacements less necessary. It’s amazing stuff but I’ll never be able to afford that level of care with my sucky insurance.

I initially read it as “McEnemy”, as in an antagonism franchise or something. Nothing seems too insanely improbable these days, does it?

Off topic, but Lazar Wolf is one of the most badass names ever. And extra points to him for defending Tzitel when he thought Tevye was calling her a little cow. Real lasers would have brought that point home. 

Between Davis's loss and the defeat of the House-seat aspiring dingdong who was the architect of Bevin’s work-requirements-for-Medicaid scheme I feel like I can head off to bed happy tonight.

Speaking as a person who spends countless hours each week utilizing interpreters so that I can provide good case management to my clients I salute your talents. I wish I had your skills!

I’ve lived in Louisville for years and have lost count of how many times I’ve voted against this guy, called his office about various issues, left messages (the norm now) with his office about various issues, emailed his office, hell, I have written *physical letters* to this cruel asshole back when that was how we…

Very well said. Their inability and/or outright refusal to see the intersection between reproductive rights and women’s health has always put us at risk, and now that that ghoul Kavanaugh has been confirmed I can't bear to see what will happen next.

That is genius! I always feel like I lose too much egg by chopping it on the cutting board. 

“Whom among us hasn’t noticed the black bloc of liberal Congresspeople stalking the Capitol, throwing the occasional Molotov cocktail at Paul Ryan?”

We now have a vintage-y candy store in town and after sampling their wares my child is obsessed, OBSESSED, with Charleston Chew. She also loves Futurama and does impressions of Nixon and Headless Agnew when whenever she gets into a new box. 

The biker-lite guys I worked with in restaurants and such chose to sport iron cross tattoos and patches. I think they saw it as a less overt way to sound other racists. Similar to the dumbasses who like to trot out the “swatikas were actually used as icons long before the third reich” line of bs. Sure Cletus, and the…

Not just that but your kiddo can’t breathe comfortably. My daughter refused to be covered (which I only attempted if it was chilly) and each time would choose breathing freely over eating.

Wagner is a treasure, and her blog isn’t all snark. She has some fascinating posts about the history of home architecture and design, as well. Many thanks to her helping me build an informed vocabulary that allows me to confidently talk shit about ugly homes when the need arises. 

Fuck these guys. They’ll tell any lie they need to to protect the white homeland. I have talked to both asylee and refugee clients this week who were despondent because the rules keep changing and they have no idea when, or if, they will ever see spouses/kids/parents again. One guy is considering going back to Iraq…

I really want to believe that Frieda somehow killed Carol and Barb. I can totally see her orchestrating a double hit and then celebrating by calmly sitting in her cell eating pudding.

I would absolutely bet he uses lifts. His wife is always in 5" heels and there is no way on fucking earth or in the universe at large that he would stand for her to be taller than he is.

“We believe that people have a right to live.”

I hope in the years to come we find out that one of the students he insulted was inspired become a politician to fight against the kind of bigotry and ignorance they experienced when they met that racist dickhead.

So, is that the Beetlejuice-ian sect of Islam..? Seriously, guy, the internet is filled with waaaaaay more reliable info on the Muslim faith than what you seem to have latched onto.
