Dragging twelve people off the street and asking them to all agree on a very important matter in a system with which they have (usually) zero experience is insane. The Yanez jury couldn’t even agree on which restaurant to order the food from according to the alternate. Juries are like Vegas. The dice get thrown and…

You are free to have the opinion, and to rank animals according to your personal feelings, I’m just pointing out that your appreciation of their meat doesn’t make it less cruel to an animal who wants to live. Slaughter is inherently cruel, no way around that.

A chipmunk pig is a baby pig that’s likely very much a wild boar. As others posted, the markings indicate his generation is very directly related to wild pigs. That’s how you get the chipmunk ones. He will grow out of those when he’s older. (Submit error, full post here):

8 weeks is the appropriate time for pigs as…

I hate it when people make up names for their pet pigs that are “funny” because haha, the clever name is going to reference how we kill a pig and chew on its flesh, swallow said flesh and then ultimately poop it out. I get it but it’s gross. How about Fred? Fred is good. ETA: not telling people not to eat what they…

I would like to know, too!

As evidence against the accused, the indictment cites dubious “overt acts” including some protesters’ decision to bring “goggles to eliminate or mitigate the effectiveness of crowd control measures that might be used by law enforcement”

How can he be helped? Who are his lawyers? I feel so helpless when I hear stories like this.

Please, is there a way to donate to their defense funds? This is horrifying.

I’m sure throwing her in a concrete box for years and stripping her of her humanity by treating her like an animal will work wonders. Because that’s all we have for her. Then we can all use our shocked face when she gets out and gets in trouble again. I’d call it a justice system, but at times it feel more like a…

This seemed an intentionally sketchy part of the narrative. The author must know that to find a teenager attractive, even to enjoy his company more then your husband’s might be weird (even for the 70s and only 10 yr age gap) but most folks would understand the NOTION. Even divorcing your husband, baby in tow, and…

This is my daily back-and-forth.

My brain loves doing that, usually right when I’m about to fall asleep.

I can see where this is heading. This will be a weekend of:

Seriously. Senate Democrats, just draft a bill for single-payer and call it the “DONALD TRUMPS GREATEST HEALTHCARE BILL FOR WINNERS” act. It’s a shoo-in.

Oh, of course not. Just the emptiness caused by a steady diet of trash TV and the gleam of her rabid joy over her party’s “victory”. She’s soooo thrilled that “America will be great again!” despite the fact that her parents fucking make six figures and financed her house and basically have supported her for years.

So now would be a great time for everyone to go vegan. Resist.

The problem with tackling climate change in this country is that the whole exercise has been wussified and so there’s no buy-in from real, red-blooded, Bud Lighted, Americans.
