I’ve been living in a Nordic country for almost a year, and it’s wild how differently this story hits now compared to coming of age and working as an adult in the US.

I’m more critical of the concert organizers, for choosing an artist who’s known to get... messy onstage to honor Dolly Parton. Shouldn’t industry insiders know better?

The Grand Ol Opry needs to unclutch their pearls. Elle’s language wasn’t the issue.

This is a problem because of the number of voters who will come out for abortion rights if that’s the only thing on the ballot, but will generally still vote for the guy with the (R) in a general election.

Because the cruelty is the point.

The issue is that red state after red state has made sure that any abortion exceptions will be dismissed, proving that the exceptions do not work and the GOP is determined to make everything as cruel as possible.

My only contribution is: My late husband did an actual spit-take the time I mused innocently, “Hmmm, Jon Hamm dresses on the right.” I don’t think anyone talks like that anymore. But that’s where my eye always goes.

I agree wholeheartedly with the main, uh, thrust of this article, but also feel like “sex negativity” and “Y’all are not fucking enough” are kinda two sides of the same shame-y coin. That whole “Go get laid, nerds!” dookie touch unnecessarily undercuts the legitimately fucked-up aspects of this story and the good…

“Forcing people to carry unwanted pregnancies drives people into further positions of poverty”

Remember, they aren’t “Pro-Life”, they’re pro-forced birth. They only care from conception until you’re on your way to the hospital. After you arrive, they don’t care what happens to you, or the baby they forced you to have. And forget about any assistance, financial, or otherwise. That sounds suspiciously like…

“You refuse to let go of some [photos] and you’ve made that clear. I hope they make you happy.”

I think what makes it manipulative is that he started a relationship with someone who was a professional surfer, who’s social media history and presence including oodles of this content that he wanted her to get rid of, and he appears to have not mentioned that beforehand only bringing up during the relationship. If…

Fucking fascist, thinking he gets to decide who deserves citizenship rights in a democratic society. That is not how it works. That is not how any of this works

if we can also stop paying taxes because it doesn’t affect us to pay for schools and things like that then sure. but if you have kids you should be taxed for each one acccording to your wealth. 

righty oh, Apartheid Boy, because a person with 10 children he can’t love properly would be such a great protector of humanity’s future, lol. i’m so sick of this moron’s arrested development.

FFS, can he fucking die already? 

Actually if you want democracy to function better, make voting compulsory for every adult. No more money and time wasted getting the vote out. Force people to consider, even minimally, how they are going to vote. It forces parties to aim for the more sensible centre ground instead of the loony fringes. How do I know…

This is the same crap they try to pull claiming atheists/non-religious people are lawless heathens who can’t possibly have morals or want to do the right thing in a situation because they don’t have some skybro threatening them.

“Democracy is probably unworkable long term without limiting suffrage to parents. Helps solve the procreation problem, too.”

Someone please shut this pro-apartheid kid the hell up already. FFS
