Haha, the thing is they really weren’t! Prime Minister John Howard went on to be our longest serving (or 2nd longest?) PM - the Port Arthur massacre was in ‘96; he was in office until 2007. Unfortunately the rest of his term consisted of bullshit conservatism 101 but at least he got it right on guns.

Yes, because pedantry will bring the hundreds who have died as the result of gun violence back from the dead. It doesn’t really matter what the thing is called, and splitting hairs about terminology does nothing except draw attention away from the actual issue, which is scores upon scores of innocent people being…

I was reading a convo on twitter about this, and when australia banned guns, the entire parliment was voted out of office after that...which...FINE!

She’s not mocking prayers, she’s deriding people who offer up prayers and do nothing else. Or, to quote the scripture passage that she referenced: “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” (James 2:17)

This isn’t about people like you (who sounds AWESOME btw) it’s about the lawmakers who say that specifically to deflect any sort of accountability or do anything in the wake of these tragedies. I hate that the shorthand is “thoughts and prayers” because we all do this in the wake of tragedy, but this isn’t about your…

Fuck the NRA.

Her audacity to be an angry woman on TV routinely floors me. She is very important.

My objection to the death penalty hinges on three questions:

I still never believe in the death penalty but I’m not about to cry over him getting it.

This case really tests my resolve in my stance against the death penalty.

SUCK IT DR LUKE

Why is he allowed to show his nipples? Man has boobs and he's not trying to breastfeed anyone so I see zero reason why this is ok if it's not ok for me to let my natural God made breasts out.

I think whoever writes Vows hates that column. There’s always a barely suppressed hint of “I HATE THIS JOB I HATE THIS JOB” undercutting every word. It’s even better when they clearly hate both of the people involved:

She’s going to cherish her memory of being on the show and high school will fade away for her like it does for everyone else.

your use of the word “fuck” is so sexy, like really smoking sexy and really full of sexy sexiness and like you are so fucking hot, really fucking hotter than hot. fuckton hot.

I find paragraph breaks way hotter than produce in the ass. YMMV.

wow this is definitely a cult.

You convinced me! Where are the carrots to stick up my ass, and how much money can I pay your creepy “empowering” leader to make me cry on stage?

I have no doubt that these meetings are hosted at Museum of the Moving Image a) to give a sense of legitimacy (implying there’s an affiliation) and b) because the museum’s target audience includes Scherick’s targets. My question is: HAS THE MUSEUM BEEN INFORMED OF THIS?!?! This could be a PR nightmare for any museum!

Ugh, that horrible LA corporate double-speak is so vomit-inducing every time I read it. “I feel like that question doesn’t feel productive at this current energy level”. What I’m saying is, I’m glad I don’t work at that office anymore. I feel like America is going down a dark path with this equivocating, nonsense…
