The identity politics stuff is what will probably backfire on her, if not in the Dem primary, then in the long run. Most of the county haaaaaaaates identity politics.

I had to google this meme to understand that Kotaku story that was shared to the main page. The first result was from USA Today.

People forget that there was at least one armed guard at Columbine:

Hugs to you too! I hope you can kick the cigarettes. They killed my grandfather early and made my grandmother’s life into old age very difficult. I always avoided smoking because of this, but I can’t feel superior since I’ve done so much other stuff. Sending good wishes your way!

Yep. So many people who struggle with addiction are trying to self-medicate for other things (I say this having been there.)

I feel like (sadly) if drugs (inc. alcohol) were very obviously involved, as were with Amanda and Whitney (not sure about Shia or Brit), there would be even less sympathy, unfortunately. When drugs are involved it’s generally seen as something people do to themselves. See: Winehouse, Amy (RIP).

Right? I remember that!

It’s nuts, right?

Oh my god, that call and response.

Except not really because I bet fries are bad for his gout. As my NY-born -secular-Jewish former activist lefty FIL will tell me at any meal. If anything, Bernie has many, many long winded opinions about what condiments can be eaten with French fries. I say this as a Sanders supporter (who would also very happily…

Aww man. As a grammar nerd who genuinely enjoyed diagramming sentences in HS, this breaks my heart. Get it together, Bernie interns!

See my reply to Lunchcoma

I haven’t heard this? He signs tweets he has typed himself with “-BS” generally. Also he has people tweeting for him during the debates, (I know because I am a nerd who watches) so what you are saying can't really be true.

Yeah, Hillary vacations with Henry Kissinger, but she can diagram a sentence (probably with help from her lawyers), so she’s the right one for the job.

I listened just because I am interested in addiction (I am a recovering alcoholic), and it was a heartbreaking-ly honest interview. And I find Pete Holmes annoying af.

If you are wondering, I am an alcoholic who had very good results with naltrexone (which is actually different from naloxone, which is a drug that is administered in an emergency to reverse an opiate overdose). Naltrexone basically inhibits the “high” you get from taking a drug. It’s used as an injectable implant for…

My husband once had a roommate who would take a bite out a block of cheese, and then put it back in the fridge, just sitting open on a plate, teeth marks intact. So it could be worse!

OH MY GOD NO. I’m a woman FWIW. We talked about HRC and race maybe a week and a half ago???, but we don’t need to get into it again. I’ve never been the biggest HRC fan, I admit, but I’m glad the Dems have two legit candidates when the repubs have non.

I know we have disagreed in the past, so I appreciate that you are on board. (No snark!)
