I found out a year after my Dad had died that my brother had been systematically stealing from my Mom for at least that amount of time. It isn’t on the same level since they’re not rich, but $16k of provable stolen funds is a lot of money to a retiree on a fixed income. It was in small amounts like automatic refilling…

Gotta love how Britney Spears has been under conservatorship for 13 years while Charlie Sheen, Johnny Depp and Kanye West (amongst many other examples) were never even close to getting the same treatment.

“DaBaby is starting to sound more remorseful. I wonder what changed?”

Yup. I live in DC. When you look at the demographics for vaccination, the problem is young white people 18-30 years old (the below 18s are vaccinated, probably because they’re still under the responsiblity of their parents) and Black people below the age of 40. Hispanics were lagging at the beginning but now their…

Damon already knew it was unacceptable to use that word. That’s why you’ve never heard stories about him dropping it casually on set or around his coworkers (other than when it’s written for him to say in a script). If this were really just a part of his vocabulary he grew up with that was just really difficult to…

he really should have kept that one too himself. was he expecting a gold star? that’s so embarrassing. if you think about it, his daughter has probably told him to stop using that word and why it’s bad to use that word over years and years. that whole time he was walking around the house saying the f word laughing. it…

That’s sexual assault.

As an aside, since Gunn is taking elements of the Ostrander and Yale run of Suicide Squad, I wanna talk about one of the most long term consequences of Suicide Squad: Reintroducing Barbara Gordon as Oracle.

It’ll take decades to undo, if the GOP doesn’t finally cement one-party rule by the next election. Contrarianism and ignorance and bigotry and selfishness are core Republican values, and the GOP has spent decades spreading like termites throughout everything. Whether it’s fascism-advocating legislators, extremist…

The problem is that there isn’t enough “othering” of these reckless monsters. They need to be pointed out, shamed, and punished for incubating variants and spreading the virus to children who can’t be vaccinated yet.

Yeah exactly, this article is trying to have it both ways and it just comes off as incredibly hypocritical.

Hillsong is one of the worst exports we in Australia gave to the world. It isn’t a religion. It’s a cult. A full blown cult. Started by a paedophile and taken over by his son, who then blamed the victims of his father for leading his father astray and for somehow or other tempting him.. And who then tried to pay off…

Religion is a plague on humanity.

This does not sound good.

ah, but you may find people are the real horrifying space monster.

Religion is seriously a poison on humanity.

Certainly social media is a huge factor, but there’s also the fact that people in rich nations face so few perils nowadays that too many people don’t believe that anything bad will ever happen to them. And/or they believe that if anything does go wrong, there are people and agencies who will immediately come to their…

Mitch Fucking McConnell had polio in his youth and it frosts my lizard that he’s not currently in an iron lung (or six feet under).  He survived something horrific, and now he’s doing absolutely nothing in the face of today’s horror.

My great aunt is in her 90's but absolutely remembers when they got vaccinated against polio....you had to carry your card, and people were HAPPY about it because it meant a deadly and crippling disease would soon be gone.

I’m done. ZERO sympathy for anyone who refused to get the vaccine for any reason other than they have an existing autoimmune issue that put them at risk for taking it.
My wife and I kept trying and trying to get the vaccine and finally got an appointment in a small town 90 minutes away from us and were thrilled to get…
