I just got home from a lovely Christmas dinner with my wife’s family. There were 7 kids and 19 adults and my daughter spent the whole time wearing a Cinderella dress. Nobody talked politics and Trump’s name wasn’t uttered once.

*tears of grief* Gods I miss them so much! */tears of grief*

She knew what she was signing up for. Save your pity for the people effected by this fucked administration.

NASA’s plan did not involve wiping out climate research.

Let’s be clear here, there’s as many different ideas on how to explore space at NASA as there are people who work there. Right now the group of people who believe in numerous, cheap, and robust missions using robotics and remote sensing are in the majority, and they’re right. 99% of the stuff we could learn on the…

NASA does important work that doesn’t involve the showy stuff like going to the moon. Like the work on climate change that was defunded that this was cover for (sneaky).

This. Also, the buried lede here is that yesterday’s action also defunds four major climate-observing satellite platforms. Because fuck climate, amirite?

Here, I’ll help: you shouldn’t agree with this. The estimated cost of a manned mission to the Moon is $100B. That is more than five years of NASA budget. If you allocated them an extra $100B, NASA could fund every program on its Discovery, New Frontiers, and Flagship lists (including the longshot ones), put landers on…

There is a difference between advising women not to let their guard down and saying that women who ostensibly have let their guard down are making excuses for fucking up when they get raped while their guard is down. Will I advise my daughter to be careful and not drink too much at parties lest she end up incapable of…

This happened to me. The first person I spoke to about it at the hospital was pretty awful about it; she said “even dead patients have to pay.” I was eventually able to get the charges removed, but even so, kept getting notices from my insurance company asking if the claim was “related to an accident.”

Not a gif, but I’m feeling the need for a cleansing fire.

Yeah, it’s one thing to flip out over sounds when you’re not expecting anyone else in your house. It’s another thing to assume that someone in the bathroom is an intruder when you KNOW SOMEONE IS STAYING IN YOUR HOUSE.

Oh man. You totally eviscerated my argument! He had fucking LADDERS in his yard. Damn, that refutes exactly ZERO of my arguments. And just fucking LOL at that “combat mode” bullshit.

Yeah, I’m down. The whole story was garbage.

If I wake up to noises that make me think there is an intruder in my house, my first instinct is going to be to check my partner. I would tap him on his shoulder and/or whisper “I think somebody is in here.” Basically, I’m getting a handle on where my partner is in this…

It is still not enough time in prison but it is better than the original sentence. He lied through his teeth and his story didn’t even make sense.

I mean, he was sad he got caught. I believe that

Masipa ruled at the time that the lesser sentence was due to Pistorius’s apparent remorse
