Or as we like to say around here, “Ditch Mitch." He’s a straight up inhuman monster and the sooner he's ousted the sooner things will improve for everyone, Kentuckian or not.

Yup. And my asst. principle was a longtime nun so I have a feeling she was numb to feeling victimized by men who had been given an unearned amount of power.

I went to an exchange day at the brother school for my all-girl high school meaning the schools swap a few students for the day so you can check out what the other school is like. Predicably the guys made dumb sexist comments all day but the highlight was when I was sitting in a class and felt something hit the back…

And the thing that drops the bar even lower is that the man is a terrible, terrible public speaker. I listened to his heartfelt garbage on the radio today and even without his normal abrasive and barking tone his voice is still awful. Just fucking grating. Ugh. He really has no positive qualities whatsoever.

Had to chuckle at the delightful self-own which is him writing “your great president” in quotes.

I neeeeeeed it! My daughter is 15 and that quote still gets used by one of us about once a week. Has your daughter seen the movies? The second one is pretty good but the first one is freakin’ gold. Plus the sound track is outstanding if you’re into indie rock for the older folks.

Wholeheartedly agree. She could have gone a step farther and stated how these laws can also lead to imprisonment, and not just for those women who live with sexual assault and the resulting pregnancies as a form of partner/spousal abuse.

Is Melania really there? She looks like ahe was photoshopped into that image. The lighting on her face is totally different than it is on everyone else’s. It isn’t really #beingbest to abandon hubby to detractors and ridicule, Mel.

Not just all forms of American dance but most forms of music associated with America (rock, blues, jazz, country, gospel, etc.) and a number of commonly used instruments: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/how-the-african-banjo-got-a-racist-reinvention/

Loved Zoom! I still remember the address in Boston that you could send stuff to bc the song was so damn ear-wormy. Ohhhh, 2 onnnnne, 3, 4. Send it to Zoom!

Uncle Grandpa is hot garbage. This is a fact.

Do you have slushies in the UK? Preferrably blue rapsberry? I totally recommend that option because even if he has another terrible suit to change into the syrup in those things can stain your skin for days. Would love to see dipshit-in-chief conducting a state visit looking like a grossly obese oompa loompa.

Absolutely. He straight up says in the Guardian article, “It took a fairly Herculean effort to get yourself noticed for taking too much cocaine in the music industry of 1970s LA, but I was clearly prepared to put the hours in.”

My heart is so full knowing these guys are friends. Would love to participate in that bbq-laden weed sesh. 

Oh, I won’t deny that there are challenges and a pretty large financial investment on the part of providers. But out of those 1333 languages there are are a couple hundred who make up those most commonly used by non-english speakers and any phone interpreter service worth its salt can usually cover.

An excellent article! Thanks for highlighting the fact that it isn’t enough to just have a competent interpreter; cultural understanding means so much, especially if the patient is new to the US, is elderly or has little formal education.

Eh <shrug>, I can see it. 

I worked in an ER in for about 5 years in the closest hospital to the poorer counties south of town and we routinely got crushed by uninsured people seeking treatment for minor illnesses that turned serious. All the dicks in power act like health is one’s personal responsibility but when you can’t afford insurance…

Yeah, he’s like the guy who endlessly annoyed you when you guys were dating but after you started dating that cynical bad boy you realized how sweet he really was. Ugh, my life is a trope. 

What about Gaspode the Wonder Dog (named for the famous Gaspode)?
