I wish we could see her and Julia Child duke it out in a cooking contest. I imagine it would be amazing (and delicious)

It would be slightly less ridiculous if he solicited men and women. But only slightly.

The ruling wasn't that he didn't know what he was doing, it was that he wasn't able to turn the crazy off long enough to allow his attorneys to defend him.

You know who else went to Harvard? Many of the authors of the Salem Witch Trials! I feel safer already!

I haven’t heard of cults that won’t let you even talk to the other cult members either- he’s going the extra mile with isolating them, that’s for sure. The blurbs included in the article make it difficult for me to believe anyone could fall for what this guy is selling, but it takes all kinds, I guess.

Everything is shared, including ownership of land and production

Co-signed on the cheese part (I am from Wisconsin). I can’t even handle low-fat/non-fat dairy products.

;P I’m a vegetarian because since I was a kid I didn’t like the taste or texture of meat, and I struggled to choke it down before my parents let me become a vegetarian around age 15. But even I look sideways at vegans. I tried it for a hot minute in college, but life is not worth living without cheese and iced cream.…

It’s because they can no longer shit on gay people publicly without risking a gigantic reprisal.

sometimes when I walk home, i go in an overpass, and if its starting to get dark out, and I’m wearing enough layers so my breasts aren’t obvious, women i’m behind will start walking faster, because they think i’m a man. I mean, my head *is* buzzed. I don’t get offended, because I get it, but still, it does mean these…

I’ve been POTUS voting since Anderson. I’ve NEVER been “comfortable” with my choices - I know it’s only me choosing between two people who have nothing like my best interests at heart, trying to vote away from the worst one. So far, I have only “won” four times, and I didn’t like either of them very much - just hated…

I feel great about the election in one way: democrats are guaranteed to win. I feel sad over the fact that with a guaranteed win ahead, the party is not pushing left at all. As if if they go left the centrists will turn around and say, “Euro style healthcare?! We’re voting for the fascist!”.

The Democrats: Because Where Else Are You Gonna Go?

She was taught her whole life to only aspire to be a perfect lady, that the king and queen are always good and right, and that good “ladies” are loyal to their husbands (at the time, Joffrey was supposed to be hers). So she did the only thing she knew how to do and it backfired horribly and she learned. And before it…

Queen in the North! Queen in the North!

Jon Snow is dead. JON STARK LIVES.
