As long as you’re only exposed to half-strength COVID, this should be fine.

Complain all you want, but at least we’ll be protected from COVID-9.5!

I’ll submit that Georgia should open state charges against Trump, rather than or in tandem with impeachment.

Still, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer etc. should be screaming from the rooftops over this AND tying it to the relief clusterfuck ahead of tomorrow’s GA. runoff.

Oh comrade! The numbers don’t lie and Democratic leadership doesn’t dictate the constituents votes! If you want the change you envision you’re going to have to do a lot more to appeal to Democratic voters than postering on the internet

I wouldn’t mind an 80 year old speaker of the house so long as they aren’t beholden to corporate donors as well as give the Republicans/McConnell more than they ask for in legislation negotiations.  

just got a $601.80 vet bill so... at least someone’s got health care on the government’s dime(?)

1st: Happy Birthday! You deserve it! Just 8 more years until you discover you can never hide from the modern-day Illumanati ; the AARP. You can never hide, no matter how smart or discreet you are. They are watching you right now. THEY WILL FIND YOU. Enjoy your freedom while you can.

But the economy! /s

No it isn’t. Your mother is actually Scottish and made sure that you knew her family’s history and appreciated your heritage. I believe you saying that you are Scottish and English is very accurate if that is how you wish to identify even if you have never lived in Scotland. In the US you will find that even many…

Yeah, just keep ignoring that the heroine outright rapes her husband as punishment for lying about being sterile, which is rather bizarrely portrayed as something horrible and violating within the same episode, but the rest of the season expects us to see it as a beautiful romantic act.

So, I’m half Scottish. My dad is English and couldn’t give a shit about being English. My mum is Scottish, and raised all her kids to be *very* aware of our Scottish heritage - to such a degree that, despite being born and living in England, I feel as much Scottish as I do English. At home we speak a mix of English,…

Seriously.  At this point I’m wondering if he has a lair inside a volcano somewhere.  I’ll bet Elaine could hook that up. 

A new Gallup poll shows that President Trump and Michelle Obama are the most admired man and woman in the nation. Trump finally ended President Obama’s 12 long years at the top spot. I’m sure he’s thrilled.

Considering Florida sent a SWAT team to a government official’s house two weeks ago because she was reporting the real death tolls, it’s weird to hear that joke today.

Freelancer Zoë Beery told me about how she had begun working on a “safer space” initiative at a Brooklyn bar to help change nightlife culture just before the pandemic hit. 

This is an excellent and much-needed perspective. But there’s a peculiar tardiness to it as well. It seems to be just catching up with the long history of this understanding of work in a market society. In the roughest outline of this history, the hippies asked this question in the sixties; their children, the yuppies,…

There is work that needs to get done, but frequently the work that actually needs to get done isn’t the work that’s well compensated. We’ve flipped the compensation/necessity scale, which leaves the people doing important work poorly compensated and burnt out.

Nothing from I Will Destroy You?  It had some of the best TV episodes this year--plus it seems like the kind of show AV Club would be all over (however, I get the feeling barely anyone watched it on HBO, something that happened the previous year with another of my fave UK shows they aired, Years and Years).
