Yeah, I see your point. But I don’t think that publicly shaming nonvoters is going to make people more inclined to vote. Just defensive. Also, the determination whether to vote and who to vote for is a private matter. I am in favor of campaigns generally encouraging people to vote. It’s important! But I don’t think…

100% would watch.

I love the story of RBG and Marty. I’m really hoping no one comes in my office for a few minutes, because I’m crying. This is beautiful.

His constant squirming was amusing, but I laughed so hard when I saw the “What.” It caused me & husband to engage in at least 3 good minutes of impressions/cry-laughing. Quality television.

To get an absentee ballot in my state, you have to affirm under penalty of perjury that you will actually be absent from the county in which you reside on election day (or there are some other ways to qualify, such as disability). Chances are quite slim that you’ll get called on it if you swear you need an absentee…

This was my exact thought — creepy AF. Do not want.

I am sure you’re right, I was just being an asshole. :)

I love it. One funny thing to me is the lyric, “I must have called a thousand times, to tell you that I’m sorry for everything I’ve done, but when I call you never seem to be home.”

My belief is that it makes no moral or logical sense for the State to impose a penalty of death, while at the same time outlawing murder. Since in practice the death penalty is used only for certain people who kill others, killing the perpetrator seems morally bankrupt as a solution. In short, killing people for…

My birthday is in November. YOU HEAR THAT ADELE??! MY BIRTHDAY!! Please release this album on or before my birthday. Please?

Maybe, but I think it’s too simple and easy to write off the type of people who make aggressive comments as depicted in this post as jobless, basement-dwelling introverts. I think a lot of them do have regular jobs, houses, and families, and present a facade of reasonableness. And then they go online and display their…

Pretty sure that’s just the name she gave her insta account, not a name she was using before deciding to post all this.

What I want to know is how do people even have the kind of energy it must take to work themselves into the frothing racist misogynist rage required to seek someone out online and compose nasty comments? Like, I barely have the energy to do my job, help with upkeep on my house, and attempt some semblance of a social…

This sounds horrible, and yet I would try this way before I’d choke down any of those PS M&Ms.

You’re describing my life, right down to the law school, and I’m concerned that you might actually be me.

Don’t argue emotion, he says, after appealing to his father’s military career for authority.

That’s a stupid argument. You don’t think immigrants, legal or otherwise, are subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S.? That means that an illegal immigrant who commits a crime cannot be tried by a U.S. court. With incredibly limited exceptions, everyone within the territorial limits of the U.S. is subject to its…
