Have you tried the hippie rock salt thing? My friend uses it and she does’t stink, so it at least works for her.

I know Michelle Obama told us to go high and I know that it’s good advice, but I laughed. I needed something to make me laugh today, and it turns out that watching a slowed-down version of a Nazi getting punched in the face works for me.

“The American Experiment” is a phrase that refers to the American system of government. I believe the phrase originated with de Toqueville, but I could be wrong about that. Regardless, it does not refer to the Obama presidency specifically. Some quick googling should help you out if you need more background info…

I wish I had the power to ungrey you.

I keep changing my mind about whether or not I’m going to the protest in my city tomorrow. I want to go, but I’ve been prohibited from doing anything that might cause a blow to the head for nearly 20 years now, because I’m at such high risk for retinal detachment. My eyesight continues to deteriorate and my retinas…

I find a joke that combines Kohl’s and boxing day confusing. I can’t categorize you. CURSES!

Hahahaha . . . ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww . . . hahahaha . . . ewwwwwwwwwwww (repeat forever)

God bless you, you made me laugh really loud today. Seriously, thanks.

Oh God, the horror of hallucinating that you’re back in the camps is completely terrifying. It must have been heartbreaking to watch her suffer like that.

It’s interesting the things that make history real for people. Years ago when I was student teaching, I taught a unit on WWII and the Holocaust to my two 7th classes. It was a small town in Indiana—when I told them that Nazis killed Jews, Socialists, Roma, etc, they knew that was bad, but they didn’t know those…

OK.

I doubt he even knows which district Lewis represents. I’m guessing he assumes that every black person represents a poor, dangerous, struggling district.

That may be, but at this point, anything that forces people to work together sounds like progress.

I don’t think I’d find a party that was ideal or a politician that I would 100% agree with, but I do think that a system that allowed for more parties and that encouraged coalitions between smaller parties might help ease up the deadlock we’ve been seeing. Of course, people are people, so no system is going to be…

Agreed. Maybe it makes sense to me because I have a similar frustration with how all-or-nothing you have to be with a two-party system. I wish we had a system that allowed for multiple parties and coalition governments.

I thought he looked really young and unsure too.

*sexy voice* “Deeper, deeper in my ear canal, you animal!”

Is that a still from the movie? Because he looks like he’s not sure if that thing he’s holding is a skinny feather duster or a really big Q-tip. Isn’t he supposed to be the king of kink or something?

I saw the lede image and was thinking, “What’s offensive about ‘White women, come get your friends?’ That’s funny.” Then I kept reading and realized that the actual shirt was basically #notallwhitewomen.

So, I just looked up the aye-aye. I may never be the same. Wikipedia captions this “Aye-ayes are nocturnal.”
