I had a friend whose husband got stationed at Fort Polk (the Army post which is considered the worst place to be stationed period) and they told her that she could fill out the form to opt out of corporal punishment but if they couldn’t get a hold of her they’d paddle her kid anyway (in 2016!!). It’s still 1955 in a…

To bolster the explanations below, no one in the Trump administration ever questions Sarah Palin’s status as a citizen or the right of Alaskans to take part in US govt, and Alaska is all the way up there on the other side of Canada.
Ahhh, yes. He measured his response. And the pauses meant he was actually THINKING about what he was saying. Unlike 45 and his cohorts, who seem to be afflicted with some kind of brainless verbal free-associative diarrhea. Good times indeed. I miss them.
The fact that he’s part of the crowd that just spent 8 years saying our first black President who was born in Hawaii was not a citizen is the cherry on top of this racist sundae.
Nobody has a sense of humor anymore? How was this comment even remotely funny? One of the most powerful men in the country is a racist who doesn’t seem to understand how 101 level government works and serves under a president who knows even less. Fucking hilarious.
“Nobody has a sense of humor anymore.”
Yeah. We’ve heard that one a bunch of times before in the US.
Yes, persecution, war, and genocide is so exciting. I’m sure people of certain ethnicities who lived in Germany ca. 1939 would agree.
The bigger issue, which also was the main reason the United incident descended to the horrific levels it did, is that in the post-9/11 era, airline employees are essentially given carte blanche to make any demands/orders of passengers that they deem “necessary” for “safety,” knowing full well they can call on the…
That baby looks like he’s already got a shitty 9-5 at an office and is two months from starting his midlife crisis. He looks frustrated that he was born so close to April 18th and he’s not going to have time to file an itemized deduction on his taxes.
The overdose scene in the Room shook me. It was ugly, upsetting, and watching her parents and her child’s reaction was heartbreaking. There was zero glamour and she looked awful with puke all over. Worlds away from this scene.
Yeah McCain seemed like a perfectly reasonable candidate for about 6 months and then he picked Palin and started doing these weird personal attacks on Obama. I didn’t dislike McCain when he started his campaign, but I sure did by the end.
That is fucking disgusting. And the fact that Mike Huckabee is totally cool with Nugent but thinks Beyoncé is problematic is just insane.
That’s not true at all. A public university can’t, say, tell you not to be out on its streets, because they’re public roads and sidewalks, but it is entirely allowed to deny you use of its facilities and lecture halls. Those belong to the university for exclusive use by the school, just like courthouses, while public,…
As other people have pointed out the term has had popular use since the 90's but has root in the original Star Trek fandom. It’s not a new term but the main stream prominence is new. Now that it’s okay to be public about your nerdy love for things shipping is more visible.
I’ll tackle that second question. To preface this, I am transgender and medically transitioning.
Not to mention, these shows are specifically written so people have shipping opinions.
The term originated in X-Files fandom, and in that fandom specifically referred to Mulder/Scully.
