I don’t like that tampons are taxed (I think they should be free in all public bathrooms as well as tax free) but Brown chose to veto it as a part of a basket of tax exemption bills, including lowering a the gas tax. I think there is merit in holding a line that budgets need to be formed as part of the budget process,…

For me, it is her mouth. All of the trump kids resemble him so much with their very narrow mouths that mostly opens by sticking your lips out.

Ugh. I’m all for managing natural resources and recognizing that we do need to use some of them, but the conservative notion is that responsible development means now, Now, NOW! I don’t understand why they never think of our federal lands as a matter of national security. In the seventies we were terrified that…

What’s nuts about his plans for oil is that they will do nothing to spur increased production in the US, they will only throw open the gates to environmental damage. It is very easy to frack for shale gas in the US already, evidenced by the fact the the US is damn near the only country in the world where companies…

I think someone who has successfully evaded justice for so long probably has many, and more recent, victims,

She is killing it in that jumpsuit, such a fabulous modern, clean-line look.

I’ve always thought of it as tucking my head into the space I’ve made with my arm, if that makes any sense. Also, I don’t really turn my neck, it’s more that I look down and let my head tilt with my shoulders as I’m reaching my arm over? That way my breathe is part of the stroke, rather than stopping to lift my head…

Most of the women I know have felt this way at one time or another, and then time passes...and they see their fellow women get passed over, quit, or get fired. They start to worry it will happen to them. Then they believe this shit is really going on.

Yep, one of my elderly relatives, who has a Chinese grandchild, has dementia and has reverted to oriental to describe her much-loved granddaughter as Oriental. It makes everyone so mad and sad. Mad for the kid, who is so understanding, but sucks she has to be. Sad for Grandma because her five years ago self would be…

She made a low key protest statement that didn’t name the airline in question. I think it might be pretty effective. If I were the social media manager for United or Delta, I’d be checking the dressing list for damn sure.

I was having a totally wretched day, and you have totally saved my night. So many episodes to watch! Thank you!

It is super frustrating to hit a plateau like that, it makes it so hard to continue. My favorite thing that got me through one was Zumba? It is high intensity, but usually for short bursts, it is fun, and at my low cost gym, no one can dance for shit. We all look ridiculous. Pits been great for my mood and for giving…

The worst part about this is it is a preview of the next eight years if she wins (hubris tempts the fates). They will be talking about her questionable mental health anytime she says or does something she doesn't like, so, all the time.

He was handsome when he was young. Time makes monsters of us all, but Lauer is heading there quickly. I remember when he was first on today with Katir Couric, they were a good pairing, but Couric was always the journalist to his color commentary.

I wore my retainer until I was twenty five and teeth have still moved back to being crooked as fuck. I think my orthodontist would say I should have worn it forever.

I know reality has very little lace in trying to refute Donald Trump, but does he imagine the oil is in big tankers waiting to be exported from the giant oil warehouse? Isis’s operations were, apparently, funded by truck convoys of oil smuggled to Turkey. Once the US started bombing truck convoys, they started packing…

This American life did a show called I was so high, where they went through rates of drug use by people on the job. It is really shock, ~6% of medical personnel, 15% of construction workers. Lots of people doing jobs that you really don’t think someone should do while high.

I was trying to remember what I had heard about her in the past, there were some ethical problems beyond what was listed in this article that weren't related to mental health, right? The Republican Party in Texas is so freaking corrupt at this point, it is hard to keep straight sometimes. One party rule is terrible…

That is a total dick move. Could it be covered by noise ordinance? That seems like the tone might travel farther than his property line. I live kitty corner from a recording studio has some truly god awful clients, so I'm pretty up on noise rules in my city. I wonder if they cover frequencies outside human range?

Guns have no place in peaceful protests. I live in Houston, a city beset by open carry protestors, including the oh so awesome white lives matter jackasses last week. Displaying a weapon is inherently threatening and chilling to discourse, at best. Especially in this case, where you are protesting a shitty legal…
