Thank you for this. I was once at a party and got chatting with a woman who worked in food merchandising. Her stories were fascinating, the packaging, the over-packaging, the USDA regulations (not sure if we have those anymore.) At some point the host jollied up to us and she asked, “Would you mind if we took a little…

The Trump administration weakens food protections, and we get multiple, successive, multi-state outbreaks of things that can kill you. Coincidence??

Why are they using Julian dates? Was the farm founded in North Carolina shortly after 1582 and vehemently opposed to Pope Gregory’s calendar reform or something?

Visited Athens once on my way to Sandusky, because roller-coasters. Athens was a lovely town with the old downtown mostly coffee shops and artists’ collectives. Very nice. Hope they’re still doing OK; they seemed like nice people.

This kind of resenting-the-lazy-poor-with-too-many-kids-etc-etc talk is disgusting, no matter which subgroup of poor people it is aimed at.

“I blame the powerless. They deserve their circumstance, it’s all their fault, why don’t they just NOT be poor? Now I’m not saying all poor people are bad, there are good ones, but…

Her dad seems like he may be a bit overwhelmed and out of his depth, unlike the compulsively attention-seeking half-sister. It’s sad. I hope the media leaves him alone after this.

Yeah, Johnny Cash is a big problem.

Samantha and Thomas Jr. are garbage people who couldn’t handle a younger half-sibling achieving success as an actor, human rights activist and now soon-to-be royal.

It’s illegal

Vaginal rejuvenation ayyyyyyy

An abortion.

I remember, as a poorish white person, how in grade school, you were discouraged by your peers to do well in school, like pursuing ignorance was a badge of honor.

I feel sorry for Meghan’s father. Yes, this was a silly and embarrassing thing to do. But nothing on the scale of what her other relatives have done, and I really don’t think he had bad intentions. Now he has his invitation rescinded to his own daughter’s wedding? That’s cold.

Exactly. Can you imagine the red vs. blue voting bloc drama? It would either lead to the next civil war or unite the nation.

She’s a delight in American Housewife!

From an article about the special:

“Later, Wong likens a mommy group she joined once she had her first child as a necessity, like banding together with other survivors on The Walking Dead”

The sad truth is that a state vs. state show would be a phenomenal success because Americans hate each other.
