His stage name wasn’t Eddie Creative Commons...

I hope no one takes her win as an indication that Missouri, a state where Medicaid expansion lost most rural counties, is primed to elect more Progressives, cause it’s not. Hell, any Dem candidate that cracks 40% of the vote in rural counties is considered a success.

And this happened too:

Oh, look, another bitchy overdressed woman with a backing song of the time that sounds brassy and jazzy and loud.

This looks like trash.

I’m sorry, but as the mom of a special needs kid, that seems way more condescending than “he functions at the level of an elementary school child.” Giving a rough age-level equivalent gives the lay reader a concept of the kinds of limitations being discussed without dwelling on the things an individual can’t do or…

I like the fact-based approach to not using labels, so long as it’s not sugar-coated. “Bill is 17 and need diapers” conveys a message that parents of NT kids might not get otherwise.

It’s Hebrew. You’re thinking of Little Dorrit.

These people have the hypocrisy of distrusting medications and the pharmaceutical industry (labeling health experts as colluding with them - I’ve spoken to these people) - yet give their child bleach, as if that’s not a “chemical” that’s so “unnatural.” Seriously, I’ve spoken to people who are proponents of…

I’m in Canada (and have a child with autism as well as work with kids who have autism) and there are definitely parents who try all kinds of crazy shit here, including chelation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, super restrictive diets etc.
We have better health care, but the government is failing our kids. There are…

How should it have been phrased? The sentence “Joshua has the mental development of an elementary school-aged boy.” gives me a good idea of the challenges Joshua (and his caregivers) face, how would you word it to get the same idea across?

It’s the height of performative wokeness to call cheese and crackers “fancy” and “what rich people eat”.

I live in a place where fresh bread, cured meats and cheese are considered staples, and therefore relatively cheap. I assume pickles, olives and nuts are affordable everywhere.

So we can officially declare social media a mistake now, right? Like the verdict is in?

Amen. A lot of ignorant people would pretend an acquittal equaled innocence.

I dont buy it. Excusing her behavior as an industry norm sounds questionable.

That is a damn good and cogent point. Plus, I think they both make it easier to be who you are.

I noticed this, too! UNLESS she’s doing something lowkey mean. Like, that clip of Kristen Bell losing her shit over sloths where at the end Ellen pretended she was bringing a sloth out and Kristen started to lose her shit. Then there was real humor in Ellen's eyes. 

Ellen hates her own fucking show and her brand of “kindness.” This is known. This is fact. She is incredibly wealthy. She’s getting older. She should let The Ellen Show die.
