I agree with you, but let’s not allow them to call it their “freedom”. It’s anything but. It’s their attempt to control society and make everyone else conform to their Christo-fascist ideas. It’s reminiscent of the Spanish Inquisition, just that they haven’t yet started thumping on people’s doors in the middle of the…

I’m convinced they’ve hired a forced-birther who screws stuff up on purpose.  Who was it who kept calling pro-choice “pro-abortion”?

I’m sure it’s in the second amendment.  They’ve found all kinds of shit in there.

For excellent road trip music, I load in the following in no particular order: Pointer Sisters “Break Out”, Aretha Franklin “Who’s Zoomin’ Who”, Bruce Springsteen “Born to Run” OR “The Wild, the Innocent, and the E Street Shuffle” (or both), Tom Petty “Full Moon Fever”, and Linda Ronstadt “Greatest Hits”. There’s…

Try being not just female, but 19 years old and with your mother when visiting dealerships looking for a car. Mom and I loved cars, and we were the mechanical people in the house. My father didn’t care. We brought my father in for the financial negotiations only, because he was a hard-ass negotiator. In the early 80s…

Good point!

I’m looking at the situation with envy from the US. I wish our heads of government could be pushed out this easily, instead of being nearly untouchable for their whole term and then getting nearly three months to stew and deny their loss before attempting a coup.

I think peak idiocy was reached with the video decrying leaks to the “plot” of the Barbie movie.  If that’s your biggest worry, please find something useful to do with your life.

I wonder if they’re going to try to deny those drugs to women who are past menopause age.

Oh dear god I hope so. I once had a conversation with the editor of a newspaper about how to change something in facebook that exposed the 12 year old victim of a rape (the story had changed over a few days as more details came out from how the mother had been charged with something involving a gun to why she’d been…

This is a great article. They don’t care. They just don’t care. When they imagine a group of women, they don’t see a group of individual people with lives and wants and needs and intentions, none of which they know. They see a phalanx of uteri, with nothing else of value.

Like (I hope) the people with AK-47s up in the trees around the rally site. What floors me is that the Secret Service was talking about people with AK-47s in the trees and no one shot them down. They let them stay there. What the everloving fuck?  It was only later that Darth Cheeto said that they were “his people”.  

I don’t think Biden is going to run again.  He didn’t seem to be thinking of two terms when he was running in 2020.  I realize that’s hardly proof, but it’s what I’ve got.

Is that because it’s wrong to do that before the midterms because it might unfairly cast a deleterious light on the Republican candidates, or because it would make more sense to do it after the midterms when there are no elections to have to deal with? The first is typical Democratic thinking (I know it well, as a…

They’re going to add new ones to that series?  Are they going to try to have plots in those?

I’m just going to join King Arthur and Ygraine and Uther Pendragon (according to legend, his parents) in worshiping Mithras. The cult of Mithras was active in the 2nd and 3rd centuries (or thereabouts) in areas of the Roman Empire, of which parts of England were included. One of the main benefits is that I know…

And yet... I think most of the FF did not claim to be Christian.

And only read the parts of the Old Testament where you get to smite people who are different from you.

I took you up on that... and that’s the sort of stuff worn to the prom when I was promming*. Fashion is circular, and that was Jessica McClintock back then, just in cotton. Puffy shoulders, high necks, narrow sleeves, lace, and ruffles ruffles ruffles. Check out Little House on the Prairie, and look for the article on…

I’m - well, not impressed, really, more like startled - at his invention of a new word: embracement.  Was “embrace” not available?  Too simple for people to understand?  Is he not fluent in English?
