I know I’m just screaming into the void.... BUT WHY IS HE STILL HOLDING RALLIES?! 

Back in very early 70's a friend got pregnant. Her only recourse was to go to New York. At 15. From the Midwest. She had to go alone because there was no way any of us could get away with not being home for 2-3 days without our parents wanting to know what the hell was going on. Then there was the money. I remember it…

Oh, I am too. The fetus fans are all, having an abortion will change your life forever and ever. Yeah, so will carrying a pregnancy to term, whether you raise the kid or give it up for adoption. But they don’t think about that, do they?

Yeah the really shitty thing is that he can’t see that his big giant fucking obnoxious flaw is in the delusion that he gets to make a decision for her in the first place. “I tried to imagine what it would be like to be her”- well you motherfucker, you could’ve just asked her what it’s like to be her and let her decide…

To be honest, his kids will always have decent access to health care regardless of what the law is. That’s really one of the good features of pro life politics; the adherents in government will not be subject to the same laws and restrictions as the rest of us. They’ll either be living in states without a ban, or will…

Am I the only person who thinks his constant mentioning of “coaching girls” is getting more than a little creepy?

I hope Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee in 2020 if for no other reason than to see her absolutely shred Trump (assuming he’s the Republican nominee) in the debates.

Cory Booker has dumped the confidential documents in to the public domain and has challenged the committee to discipline him. Many are about stances on racial profiling and affirmative action.

“I tried to recognize the real-world effects on her,”

“I said consider the circumstances. She’s a 17-year-old, by herself, in a foreign country. In a facility where she’s detained. And she has no one to talk to. And she’s pregnant. Now that is a difficult situation.”

It’s amazing how even when surrounded by Republican politicians, this guy manages to be the most unctuous, oily motherfucker in the room. It’s like somebody took a dead weasel and reanimated it with SuperPAC money and black white magic.

Van Gogh is, in my opinion, partly so fascinating an artist due to the amount of public misconception that surrounds him, both in regards to his contemporaries’ treatment of him, and the fact that his elevated status in today’s world practically has created its own context for his work. Gadsby does a lot of good just…

Yes, Theo was in many ways Vincent’s tether to reality, as well as his practical caretaker. Without Theo, it’s very likely Vincent would have died much younger, and in much more desperate conditions.

I immediately thought of Hannah Gadsby as well. What gripped me most was her assertion that van Gogh was able to paint Sunflowers not because he suffered, but because his brother loved him. I still get a bit choked up just recalling her delivery of those lines.

uuuugh I can see how people will love this, but as an art historian I am fully prepared to shit all over this. To paraphrase the great Hannah Gadsby: Vincent was a post-impressionist painting at the HEIGHT of post-impressionism, who spent years attempting to treat his mental illnesses successfully, and did so with…

Her last album deals pretty frankly with the collapse of her marriage and her role as a mother. I appreciated that she seems very aware of where she failed (or feels she’s failing); her song “Three” made me feel so sorry for her and her kid.

She’s been trying to kill him for a while. She shot him with a crossbow in 2016.

Was that what this gentleman’s face looked like before or after being poisoned?

An urban legend suggests that tetryzoline can cause violent diarrhea if given orally, such as by putting a few drops of Visine in an unsuspecting person’s beverage. However, the actual results of the prank may be worse, varying from severe nausea and vomiting to seizures or a coma. Diarrhea is not a side effect.^[7]

There was definitely at least a short while where I saw people being like “oh yeah, visine gives people diarrhea, if you hate them you can put a couple drops in their drink.” I am unsurprised we now have a rash of articles about people doing just that (or worse).
