Ironically enough, when that story takes place, Puritan society was more sex positive than most in the colonies. Not that it wasn’t backwards and regressive in tons of ways. But it was one of the few that let women divorce for husbands not fullfilling thier bed time obligations as it were.

Perhaps not a popular take on this site but why on earth would someone who has filmed themselves fucking and put it out there in the universe run for competitive office?

She didn’t put it out there in perpetuity. She filmed something live that was archived without her knowledge or consent.

Am I way off here?

You’re all for “sex positivity” but you seem to think that filming yourself having sex should disqualify you forever from running for office because that shows bad decision making skills. You cannot fathom that one might enjoy sex with their partner and use it to make a little extra cash and then some time later in…

Government compelled speech - forcing them to lie - should 100% be a 1FA party foul and thrown out as soon as it is challenged. The hard part is having to challenge it everywhere.   Which is what they are counting on.

Wow, another TRUMP-appointed judge being a fucking piece of shit. Thanks, Jill Stein voters! Thanks Bernie Bros! 234 FUCKING APPOINTED JUDGES by that racist piece of shit. 

I ask this question every time it’s in the news and have yet to receive a satisfactory answer. My current theories are:

The state of the law in the parts of the country covered by this ruling is that the state can’t require licensed medical professionals to tell the truth, but can require them to lie (the rulings allowing states to require false information be given to patients seeking abortions). If you wrote this as fiction, it would…

It wasn’t really a question... More of a lamentation.

And the calls are all coming from inside the same house.

I thought the MAGAts were all up for threatening phone calls and literal violence against House members’ families when it was Nancy Pelosi’s husband or Hunter Biden. Now they don’t like it all of a sudden when it’s their own spouses and children? Boo-hoo

It’s shocking/scary how few atheists there are in government (both parties) as well as how difficult it is to get elected without spouting off about your God/faith (in public, at least)

Justin is more of a creep than people give him credit for.

Timberlake is a garbage human. He cheated on Britney with Nicole Appleton (All Saints) but used his music and the media to portray Britney as the bad one. He felt the need to repeatedly use their relationship to promote himself, he would often reveal private details that no one else needed to know, something that…

Heart goes out to her, she has lived 400 lifetimes

“All that commitment is to please the adults and PR people in their lives.” Yup! It’s just like the other disney kids (The Jonases etc) and the purity and abstinence bullshit. Meanwhile all these interviewers treated those as perfectly fine and acceptable questions to ask them. Spears was constantly asked about her…

I recall him mocking her FOR HAVING SEX WITH HIM as if he wasn’t part of that process.

She has not said anything that leading Israeli voices aren’t saying themselves. Public discourse needs to move beyond the immaturity of “If you say you like waffles, you must also be saying you hate pancakes”. Pointing out the inhuman conditions of Palestine is not the same as erasing the horrors Israel faced during…

It is possible to both condemn Hamas for the attack, and to condemn Israel for its ongoing abuses of the Palestinian people.
