There are some good things about living in Idaho - beautiful scenery, tons of cool microbreweries, low crime, bordering three states with legal weed.... Unfortunately, it’s also riddled with racism, people who love guns and conservatives. If you are in the heart of Boise, you can fool yourself into believing that…

I wasn’t sure on the judges, so I decided to go with my gut, and voted to retain the women and kick the men.  Not exactly the strongest methodology, but I’d say there’s a better than even chance that female judges would be at least somewhat supportive of my reproductive rights.  And, the races with unopposed Rs?  I…

The most expensive thing (not including a car or house) I ever bought it a 65” 4K TV, because between that and Dolby 7.1, I really have no reason to go out to a movie.

Not many things about this deep red state give this Idahoan much hope - except Paulette Jordan. She is amazing, and an incredibly bright spark in our future. Watching the debate, it was no contest as to who was more intelligent, eloquent and would work more for the betterment of all citizens. Of course, despite all…

When I read this article, I immediately thought of that disturbingly gross Franco story (moving a genital protector from a woman’s labia before what was supposed to be pseudo-oral sex, for those who didn’t know), completely forgetting he was on this show.  It seems like an outstandingly good idea, particularly when…

I voted early yesterday, and where we had Republicans running unopposed (my state is, unfortunately, very red and very WHITE), well...I figured my cats would be better at running the government.  Fingers crossed!!!!

I agree - he seems to be a very compassionate writer and journalist. I get the feeling the OP (and possibly the article’s author) are just going off a few grabby, clickbait headlines. I’ve been enjoying his books for (yikes!) 20-ish years, and think highly of his ethical treatment of his subjects.

Ha ha ha! Google+!!! HAHAHAHAHA!

I’ve seen the phrase ‘hot garbage’ used multiple times above, and...yeah. This sort of seems to represent the CBS/ABC/NBC of podcasts - bland nonsense for the masses. There are SO many fantastic (and enthusiastically-supported) podcasts out there - We Hate Movies is amazing, The Dollop, My Brother, and my newest…

Fuck these fucking fucks!!! Rich people - you’ve failed!! White dudes - you’ve failed. White women - you need to do much, much better!!!!

Not really a myth, but definitely dangerous misinformation. Anyone can get influenza, and when you do, it’s miserable, for many weeks. Healthy people getting vaccinated contributes to herd immunity, which in turn helps to lessen the risk for people who cannot get vaccinated, usually due to being immune-compromised…

First, because it bears repeating, YOU CANNOT GET THE FLU FROM THE VACCINE!!! The virus is either attenuated (weakened), killed (uh, dead) or made of a single gene; these all provoke an immune response, but absolutely cannot give you the flu. Can you feel a bit achy or maybe like you are getting a cold for a couple…

I have a feeling this particular highly-educated and extremely accredited post-doc would get bounced by Dumpster based solely on his “do you speak American?” name.... 😜

Alternate take: Mitch McConnell, fuck off and die

Funny how that works, huh? I felt the same way about The Babadook - once you know the concept, it’s not something that makes you have to sleep with the light on. My sister is a big chicken, and always asks if a movie is scary. Things such as this movie, The Babadook, Green Room, I’m like, “yeah, they are scary in…

We all know he likes to kill various animals, and likely doesn’t give a shit, BUT.... I’m assuming he is in a catch-and-release area, and taking a fish out of the water then gripping it around the belly like he is.... Suffice it to say, the Magic 8 Ball Would say outlook for this trout is uncertain.  

Moose Drool is DELICIOUS!  I’m in the PNW, so it’s omnipresent, even on draft.  I need to do a lot more drinking since about, oh, November 2016?

I volunteer each week at a cage-free no-kill cat shelter. Since they take only cats, they can handle more with a smaller budget (housing dogs is much more expensive, due to the amount of space and upkeep needed). We often take overflow from kill shelters. And, while it is true that no-kill shelters do take more…

Two days before my university graduation, we celebrated, got sufficiently loaded, then went bowling. Drunk bowling made me want to throw the ball REALLY hard. I felt a gross pop in the lower right quadrant of my abdomen. I went home and, when I sobered up, saw a lump protruding about 1” out of my pelvis. Off to…

Hmmm. On one hand, there are WAY too few good dudes. On the other, Fareverve is about the douchiest dickpic-er ever, and Aaron is quite infatuated with Jebus. I’d say this relationship is a zero-sum game. Better just to bail and make full use of whatever alcohol is provided....
