I think it’s so creepy when people infer things like that from displays of affection. Like, what is going wrong with your circuitry that THAT is what you think of when you see a mom kissing her kid? Yikes.

People always get up in arms about that, and it makes zero sense.

These controversies are so weird. I don’t know that I will/would choose to kiss my kids on the mouth, but my parents kissed me on the mouth WELL past this kid’s age, and I’m fi— OK, I’m not fine, but I’m *truly* sure that that had nothing to do with it.

Though the photo in question received more than 230,000 Instagram likes by the next day, many users spat out their disgust with comments like, “You should not kiss your son like that. There’s other ways to show love but not that one. It’s confusing for him, it’s not healthy.”

Evergreen comment.

It’s a Turdis?

Sexy villains worthy of death are always deeply uncomfortable to me.

The system isn’t hacked at voting time. It’s hacked months or years in advance by state and local legislatures. This is my district. Texas 36. I live in SE Houston, one of the most diverse areas in country and generally pretty liberal (we have a black mayor now after having a lesbian mayor previously). 

I mean, you don’t have to tamper with voting machines for an election result to be manipulated. Voter suppression and foreign action WERE factors in the election outcome. It’s just that no one tampered with the machines or the count itself, so it wasn’t very literally rigged.

Depends on the flavor of Protestant.

You’re reaching pretty hard there. It’s absolutely incredible that Moonlight, a low budget indie film about a gay black man growing up in the ghetto, is nominated for one less award than a mid budget love letter to Hollywood with two A-list stars and one of the hottest new directors behind the camera. Not sure how…

Right? I hope one day to buy something that will fit as perfectly and look as good on me as that suit does on her.

Why would she acknowledge LaLa Land when she wants to champion movies with a minority cast like Moonlight?

So confused by your statement. How is she in denial? It is a major accomplishment that a movie like Moonlight be so highly recognized. Her whole campaign was about acknowledgement.

I love learning something new every day - it’s why I’m such a voracious reader and adore shows like Nova that explore science.

He literally said “I don’t need that.” He can’t be bothered to do the job he was elected to do. What in the actual fuck. How is there not someone somewhere that can keep this country from driving straight into oncoming traffic?

Lack of intellectual curiosity is one of the most reprehensible traits a person can have. I will spend hours upon hours with people that aren’t gifted or smart but who want to learn. I will spend no time with pompous dickwads that have no desire to learn or aren’t curious about what they don’t know. I suppose the…

I’d like to posit that legit smart people also take joy in learning new things. They even often do it as a hobby!

“Of course I already know the current grid positions of disperate insurgent forces around Mosul, it’s just COMMON SENSE!”

William Henry Harrison’s boss move of taking office them promptly dying is looking like a pretty sweet deal compared to what we’re facing.
