Exogenous lipoid pneumonia occurs when a fatty substance is inhaled or aspirated. Once in the lungs, the substance causes an inflammatory reaction and/or blockage of the bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. In cases of non-solid blockage, the lungs may be “washed” to try to get some of the material out. This lavage is…

I remember all the brouhaha over her being 40 and Kutcher being 25. Meanwhile Harrison Ford was dating the 23 years younger toothpick Calista Flockhart.

There is a great deal of doubt that anyone who voted for Obama voted for Trump. Since ballots are confidential, there’s no way to know. However, over and over again racism was the driving force in the 2016 election. Those are not people who would ever vote for a black man.

That is not at all true. Warren didn’t want to run. She hadn’t done the wonky work that makes her comfortable and wasn’t in a position to run. She didn’t have staff, money, or time.

I should have invented the glue that keeps suspenders, sorry, boob straps, in place. That just can’t be comfortable.

So why is Mr.Pitt still working with Tarantino?

Capitalism turned eating into consumption. Instead of real food, we eat processed food. Factory farms and agribusiness add processes that small, traditional farms and ranches didn’t add because they didn’t need to. They weren’t selling steaks to every Outback chain place to sit down, but for the occasional meal.

Except they sort of did. They weren’t called suburbs, of course, but until the 20th century cities were where the poor lived and the rich held certain areas like the Upper East Side on NYC. British royalty lived in St. James Palace then moved to Buckingham Palace which wasn’t in London proper, but a grassy marshland…

Bernie’s statement on housing is exactly why he shouldn’t be president. He conflates the banking industry’s policies of redlining with zoning. They were two different things, related only by the fact that they had to do with housing.

Remember, Celine Dion was 12 when 38 year old Rene “discovered” her. She said they didn’t have sex until she was 18.

I highly recommend Katherine Ryan’s The Glitter Room comedy special. She has a terrific take on old old men “mentoring” young girls stuff.

I’ve seen the singular “xe” proununced “zhe”which I like. It doesn’t add plural confusion and is distinct.

That is simply not true. Aside from the Russian interference, Bernie Bros, and the entire media crap about “likeability” HRC made mistakes, but not the sort that should have made anyone either choose Trump or not vote.

Self awareness isn’t a measure of behavior. Rapists, like Brock Turner, who don’t think of themselves as rapists are, in fact, rapists. “I was joking” is an excuse, not a statement of fact. This is someone “joking”:

She compared the board of Planned Parenthood to the Trump administration. That tell you how her approach was wrong. She thinks in hyperbole and abstractions, the kind of management that at once demands everyone accommodate her tactics while being unclear about what those tactics are.

What does that even mean?! Intent is not the issue. Racists don’t “intend” to see black people as less than human, they just do. People who harass others believe they have a right to do so because they and their actions are somehow in a sacred context that overrides all others.

Our CA state Senator Scott Wiener, turned a bill about extending bar hours into an “affordable housing” bill that calls servants quarters affordable housing, gave mansions like Mark Zuckerberg’s compound a high density variance because some of the staff lives on the site, and considers the private coaches aka “tech…

Agism isn’t helpful. That said, even the most active 80 year old is losing stamina. Becoming POTUS at that age would be physically draining to the point that it would be impossible to do the job.

I loathe the LED bulbs. First of all, the cheap ones are often highly toxic, so disposal is a serious issue.

Paywalls are there so the news organizations can pay their employees. Information isn’t free, it takes a lot of people to find, communicate, then distribute it. We all should be paid for our work and pay for what we use.
