Thanks for info.  Proof positive that he is no AOC.

I know this dude from living in his district; I even knew him when he was a teenager already dreaming of a dynastic political career, all greedy-eyed ambition with no regard for civic duty. He’s an utterly charmless, excruciatingly arrogant, douchebag. Absolutely NO charisma and deeply stupid in every way possible. I…

Oh, I learned something, thank you.

A small part of the population have strictly downward curving smiles, which many think are weird because it’s rare and doesn’t resemble the usual “down then up” or strictly “up” curving smiles.

That is not a smile. Not sure what it is, but NOT a smile.

Reminds me of Donny Osmond.

I’m not surprised. People who go into higher education with a curious mind usually come out the other end as a critical thinkers who are capable of changing their opinion in the face of cold, hard facts. If they were an egotistical bigot going in, they’re just going to come out an egotistical bigot who is now armed…

I’ve read some of the anti-vaccine blogs (mostly for some eye-rolly entertainment) and mostly it’s people very confidently making assertions with numbers that sound scientific but are linked to no citations. For instance, there was one blog that claimed “65% of children who receive the MMR vaccine before the age of 6…

Their kids aren’t in daycare so yes, they probably are sick less.  But these kids also go to private schools that don’t require they get vaccinated before they start school or the parents have time/energy to fight against the rules of the school requirements (or time to get a waiver).  Poor parents don’t have time for…

Ha! That’s great. Those poor souls.

I’m scheduled to go out of town to PORTLAND for a work meeting in two weeks. I’m a cancer survivor and on medication that, although not specifically listed as a side effect, I have found in the couple of years taking this that I catch every little thing. (Got a flu shot this past fall, but had the flu this month)…

To be fair, due to how a capitalist society functions, and with the privilege of being white. It’s quite easy to have no reason to care for others when you have everything handed to you just for those reasons listed. No challenge = no growth, and eventually, no soul. As a cynicist would say: Life is meant to be a…

Early childhood vaccines are given at well child visits ( 1 week , 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, 15 months ,18 months, 2 years 2.5 years and yearly after that) you don’t get them at every visit even if it does feel like it at times. Well off people have a much better chance of…

That’s the thing. Whenever I hear about all the “research” someone has done about something on the internet, it sets alarm bells off. There’s literally so much anecdotal “evidence”, blogs, and so-called “experts” spreading misinformation on the web, it’s hard discern opinion from fact.  You can learn a lot from the…

My husband used to work with a bunch of PhD’s who were doing work in advanced mathematics. One of them continually called him because his monitor was broken except it never was he just unplugged it (multiple times) to plug in something else.

yah, that chasm between “smart” and “educated” can be a big one!

Not included in the ABC report, but still maybe relevant, is the staggering scope of studies that suggest being rich can inoculate one against feeling responsible for others.

Also let me add that “well educated” does not equal smart or reasonable. I work with academics, very well educated. Very dumb.

Dammit, white people with enough money to not worry about money all the damn time.

Surprising no one. White people have been and continue to be harmful to themselves and others. #notallwhitepeople
