Anyone make a Lourd and Taylor joke yet?

She and Martin Luther King Jr. were born the same year.

Not necessarily. My husband was quite close to his grandfather, but didn’t attend the funeral. Why? Because his father would be there, and his father is an abusive piece of shit with whom we cut off contact 15 years ago. He didn’t need to be at a funeral to prove he loved someone who wouldn’t even know whether he was…

While some camps made a weak effort to conceal their murderous operations, Sobibor was clearly a death camp: prisoners were often taken straight from the trains to the gas chambers. After an uprising in October 1943, Nazis destroyed the camp and attempted to eradicate all evidence of the killings. But researchers have…

Trump shares so many personality traits and just...essence of something with my father. My father has bipolar disorder and narcisstic personality disorder. The impulsiveness, the insecurity covered by weird petty diversions, never sleeping, the delusions of grandeur, the weird half-finished sentences, they are so…

What do you mean by “lazy people who choose not to work?” Serious question. My sister is 24, and she is still on my parents’ insurance. She works. She works quite a lot. The problem is that she works multiple part-time jobs while trying to build a career as an actress. She easily works 60 hours a week, but she will…

If you’re not familiar with the weird double standards and hoop jumping conservative Christians will do to justify their own hypocritical decisions, may I introduce you to the 2016 Presidential Election?

I’m glad your experience was empowering. I did mention the WHO in another comment but I feel the need to eyeroll when people quote the 2 year star for the WHO in the developed world with breastfeeding because the outcome differences here for nice white ladies who can AFFORD to make breastfeeding work and in places…

A friend of mine put it best, in D&D terms: Lawful Evil is always better than Chaotic Evil.

People these days are fond of telling liberals to get over it, but politics is fundamentally about our deepest values, how we believe others should be treated,

What worries me is that Putin will move openly against Ukraine, and Trump will do nothing. There are already over 1.5 million internally displaced people in Ukraine. The Russians roll in and take Kiev like they want to, and a whole new flood of refugees streams into Europe.

Yeah, of the Hollywood Chris triumvirate, it is Pratt that is the very religious guy who enjoys hunting. Don’t know who he voted for. The other Chrises (Pine and Evans) are pretty much on record as despising Trump. Evans tweeted on election night that “this is an embarrassing night for America. We’ve let a hate monger…

This is a much more cogent version of what she was trying to say. However, it’s still wrong. Anyone who thought that Donald Trump was in some way victimized, by people responding to his awfulness in a natural fashion, was already 100% in his tank.

It’s a tragesty

I was surprised that she did. We were all (by tacit agreement) avoiding “politics”. She has a group of Republican friends so we (all of her other friends, many of whom are LGBTQ) figured she had plenty of outlets and wouldn’t even dare to bring us into her schtick. But she miscalculated and sent out a group text sort…

I cling to the heartening info that there will be six times as many busses full of protesters and marchers than there will be of attendees.

That Asshole: my inauguration is going to be the yugest, most glamorous star-studded amazing event ever. All the biggest names are calling me up, begging to perform for me and my supporters!

This. I can’t explain why the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief is a good thing if things like, oh, “improved life expectancy in developing countries”, “fewer orphans” and “fewer babies born with HIV” don’t sway you.

The fact that married people need contraception always gets missed in these discussions. I’ve had a few times married guys with and without children spout off, “abstinence programs!” as their angry answer to birth control programs and/or insurance coverage for. My reply always is, “Dude, you and your wife practice…

Abstinent people also use it for skin conditions and menstrual irregularities.
