I wish Chelsea had gone about things in a slightly different way, but fundamentally I see her as a whistle blower and not a traitor. I’m sure it was too politically risky to do this before the election, but I’m glad it happened before Obama left.

While some camps made a weak effort to conceal their murderous operations, Sobibor was clearly a death camp: prisoners were often taken straight from the trains to the gas chambers. After an uprising in October 1943, Nazis destroyed the camp and attempted to eradicate all evidence of the killings. But researchers have…

No thanks. I’ll take a snow cone instead.

“...you can’t support the troops and be for national health care; that’s illegal in this country.”

This is the same self-important drip who tried to lecture Ta-Nehisi Coates on racism.

I wonder why Jon Chait didn’t get that same sense of welcoming from his women friends.

Mmmmm! Delicious gender rolls!

I agree 100%. This is a constant point of contention between my husband and me. We were both spanked as children, but for me I can tell you the two times I was spanked as a kid and what I did that got me spanked. He was spanked as a regular form of punishment. He always told me he was on the same page with me in terms…

Sure. But then we get into parsing flavors of hitting – what kind of hitting is good hitting, what kind is bad hitting. Which, will doable, is a bit of a difficult proposition.

It might be permissible hitting, in your view, but spanking is definitely hitting.

Probably best not to hit little kids.

“He is the embodiment of the machine we are raging against.” Tom Morello with the monumental clap-back.

He’s def a troll but to follow up on your post, I was vegan at my unhealthiest. Turns out everyone’s different and has different needs, like whoa. Perhaps there’s not one single diet that fits all the body types in the whole world! Perhaps.

This is me. I have a very serious iron deficiency that I have been threatened with hospitalization over if my levels dip below a certain point. I could eat all the spinach and other dark leafy greens until the cows came home and I STILL would not have enough iron to function properly. I have to take a prenatal vitamin…

Vegans, like everyone else, range in intelligence. I think most moderately intelligent vegans know that there’s no such thing as a 100% vegan lifestyle and that all human activity means that some animals, as you say, are going to suffer. As my friend, who’s been vegan for over 20 years says, he still rides in cars…

She does, in fact. The thing about the noise being harmful to the cows is actually from a university study. They found that many of the cows in the study seemed to be deaf (unresponsive to sound). And the bells are louder than the Swiss ordinance for noise, which is 85 decibels.

Just in case you’re not the tomato:

I’ve got one: Buck up, and stop whining in general. Everyone is in the same boat (or plane) as you. Especially annoying is having that “private” complaint to your travel partner that’s clearly meant to be overheard.

except rich people who can afford to fly first class. i would actually love flying if i had a bed and could sleep and knew i could shower when i touched down.
