My mother is a scientist. She has multiple science degrees. She is not anti-intellectual at all.

It’s another aspect of anti intellectualism and not trusting experts. I don’t know what the hell you do with that.

Yeah, I have dysthymia, generalized anxiety disorder, and OCD. My OCD is relatively mild so I’m pretty lucky. I actually consider myself pretty lucky. My OCD is something that’s made me be very driven about my weight loss (the intrusive thoughts I get when I miss a day of working out can be... intense) but in general…

Apparently in this country, if someone appears on tv they hold more expertise than people with degrees, training, and experience.

I was on a date with a woman and we were talking about how I take antidepressants. She asked if I’d tried “healing my depression through alternative medicine”. I told her, “no, because if I tried ‘healing my depression’ through ‘alternative medicine’ my next step would be painting the walls with my brains.” I have…

Did you really just equate Dr. Phil to Syria

“I can’t even put a coherent sentence together...”

Oprah is a shameless opportunist and it is about time she was called out for it. She preys on society’s most vulnerable members and feeds them consumerist pablum as way to ‘fix’ their problems.

I’ve been a bit surprised by the reaction to Doctor Phil. Like, this was the final straw? When did people hear about Dr. Phil? Yesterday? He’s been a piece of shit for a long, long time. Whatever other gifts she has, Oprah has consistently shown herself to be a fairly poor judge of character.

I have always found Casey to be the more attractive Affleck.

There. It’s out now.

To be fair, she’s probably experiencing a lot of economic anxiety.

Vapid and Stockholmed.

Squinty and Stepford-ish work better.

Oh ya. It’s us coastal elites who need to watch our language and tone. BE NICER GUYS 🙄

Some of us will survive this. 8 years of George W. Bush gave us a downward spiral of an economy, 17% actual unemployment. 2000+ dead US soldiers and uncounted others dead in the Middle East after an unnecessary Iraq War. The beginnings of ISIS in the middle of the clusterfuck that was postwar Iraq. $1.6 trillion…

I don’t know. Nothing lasts forever. What if our number is up?

For real. I’m sure America will be fine, mostly because Trump has no actual policies to enact - though I am quite worried about his interactions with other foreign leaders. Also, that was kind of the problem with W, and one of the reasons we’re kind of looking back on W as “harmless” compared to Trump - the real jerk…
