Yes. I wouldn’t begrudge anyone their excitement over Harris’s selection. I think representation genuinely matters and is important. Also, from a purely political standpoint, she’s a great pick.

I feel like we’re going to be reading versions of this word salad regularly between now and election day.

This is such a BS statement, and not one any serious neuroscientist would endorse. The degree, and specific elements of brain development that are ongoing at the latter end of the age range are relevant. The amount of brain development that occurs between the ages of 21-25 is marginal compared to the churn from 12-18.…

People’s brains aren’t developed until they’re 25

I’m sure Jezebel would be flattered to learn they are capable of “tanking” any candidate.

This is true. I was a Republican and it was because of taxes (not that I understood much about the tax code considering I dropped econ), and then it was because I thought I’d get a job in the WH due to connections (I did not), and it was also because of my dad. I thought that’s what our family did.

Also, why does she think that being a 501(c)(3) means that they are legally protected from criticism?

I think a lot of the cities are just happy to have someone else make the decision for them on these statues. “They pulled it down. What a shame. We don’t have room in the budget to put it back up, so...”

Are we sure it wasn’t just a neighborhood watch comprised of black and brown people? Because I know a few people who would be prone to the mistaking the two.

This is literally what the MAGA trolls online say about Trump whenever he says something dumb.

Because people don’t want progress, they want a return to what they imagine as/pretend is “normal.”

Hey, I’m also a single person who hasn’t been touched since a massage in February. I’ve also not had sex in two years. These people need to get the fuck over themselves, buy a weighted blanket and jerk off like the rest of us.

There are theoretically safe ways to handle it - strict 14 day quarantine on both sides with someone you absolutely trust followed up another 14 day quarantine after, but I don’t see that here. I just see risk and potential infection (across state lines!!!!!)

Yeah this whole article is childish and irresponsible. It hasn’t been that long, people. Our great grandparents, grandparents, and parents lived through times when all they could do was write letters to their loved ones over huge distances, sometimes across oceans. I’m already getting friends peer pressuring me to…

Yup.  “Oh boo fuckity hoo I haven’t gotten a hug for almost two months - guess that makes risking other people’s lives ok then!”

Hugs to you, Katie. You can take comfort in the fact that you are morally superior than these fools.

Thanks, y’all.  My uncle is dead because other people decided to be selfish and greedy.  You are the reasons we will have at least some lockdown measures for the rest of the year.  Everyone who ignores the rules extends the rules.  Go to hell.

Don’t glorify or give these shitheads attention. Some of us are trying to not die.

And I needed for someone to touch my body after having not even have received so much as a hug for over 6 weeks.... Most of my friends were quarantined with partners; they receive touch every single day and have a shoulder to cry on. I was happy for them, and also felt resentful for any judgment that could have come…
