I know we are all going to die but to know you are going to die so soon is terrifying. I can’t imagine facing such a serious illness everyday like she did (not that she had a choice)

Don’t even get me started on bralettes. Unless you’re a A-cup, you need some kind of support. But this trend seems to be more of a millennial thing - so who gives a shit if their boobs sag by age 30. It will be a nice complement to their fallen arches from wearing nothing but friggin’ flip flops 24/7.

Counterpoint: the rise of the yoga trend has made it really hard to find a sports bra that is worth a damn. Back in the day brick-and-mortar stores sold sports bras that were part bra, part straightjacket. Your tits weren’t going anywhere in one of those bad boys. You were lucky if you managed to get out of it after…

So McDonald’s and Wendy’s have beef?

Racism is really truly why we can’t have nice things in the United States. Why are unions so rare in the South? Racism. Why don’t we have a stronger safety net? Racism. Why is the modern opiod crisis such a concern when heroin overdoses of the 80s and 90s were “treated” with incarceration? Racism. Why was Obama denied…

Or he just has rosacea (also a scientific term).

Unless you live in an alternate America where no one becomes President if enough people abstain, all you did by refusing to vote because no one “earned” your vote is tell the world you’re too immature to make difficult decisions for yourself and that you need others to do it for you.

We could refuse to vote for any objectively shitty candidate.

Those good ol’ San Francisco values

Educated and intelligent are not actually the same thing, and automatically being impressed by someone because of their education credentials is flatly no-better than castigating someone for having none.

Ben Carson, for example, went to Yale and is a celebrated neurosurgeon.

He is also an idiot.

Is his name fucking Merrick Garland? No? FUCK OFF

DAMN STRAIGHT. That there is Merrick Garland’s seat and everyone else can fuck off.

I’m hopeful that the Dems are finally growing a spine. One of the Senators from Oregon has said that he’ll filibuster any nominee that isn’t Merrick Garland, and there are rumors of others on board.

I don’t care who he nominated. If his name wasn’t “Merrick Garland” then I expect every Democrat to fight and filibuster as long as they can, as long as it takes. This was our nomination and these shitlords stole it. Anyone who isn’t onboard with that should be primaried at the earliest opportunity.

Me! I was Hermione-ing my ass off up in that joint!

This is very true. And who wants to be the smart girl who “ruins” the curve for everyone else’s grades?

Yes! There is no love for smart girls (so shrill/bossy/knowitall!) and no social support.

For me, being smart was looked at as being an uncool thing, even starting back in early grade school. This was the 1980s. I knew I was a smart girl, but I never wanted to come across as too smart. Kids would taunt you for being too brainy or doing better than them. You only wanted to be just smart enough to get…

The answer is the parents, teachers and the instruction materials. I can remember everything: Every male role model was given pages upon pages of highly complimentary material. Women were footnotes to the men’s achievements. When I was going through high school science, it was never once mentioned that before the…

Jonathan Chait?

They tell the Trump Team: Death threats
