That pain is your brain cells revolting and committing suicide en masse. Even reading transcripts or quotes of things he’s said makes me feel stupider.

I second this motion.

I once had to report several co-workers for sexual harassment, after some of the women I worked with confided in me about the problem. I also knew it was a delicate situation that could very well backfire on me. Welp, it sure did. None of the women were comfortable coming forward to management (I was just a shift…

Right-wing propaganda runs on hate and fear. To fuel that fire, they need a boogeyman (or rather boogeymen), for every facet of their existence. “Socialists/Communists”, “Illegals”, “Atheists”, “Anarchists”, “Cancel Culture”, “Big Government” (that they don’t control absolutely), etc. If one proves to be toothless,…

Hey, now, we’re not supposed to talk about how third-way centrism is a massive failure and antithetical to real progress, because that’s what’s going to get trump (re)elected (as opposed to people being frustrated with said lack of real progress).

Does she... does she not realize she is part of the “federal government”?

As has been pointed out: if “cancel culture” were real we wouldn’t be hearing about it so much.

Yeah, that’s actually the first thing I noticed. Couple that with her expression and it’s rather damning evidence, imho. But I suppose it’s only damning if you actually notice these sort of things and aren’t hell-bent on defending anyone on your “team”.

“Apology”

I think some of his points may be wrong - I’ll leave that for others with more knowledge to determine - but none of what he’s said counts as “sea lioning”. Nor is he “calling transgender people crazy”, unless your contention is that people with body dysmorphia are “crazy”. But what do I know, after all by your…

Scratch a “Libertarian” and you’ll inevitably uncover a fascist.

For some reason what puzzles me about that photo is the scenery behind her. There’s a drastic change from the fence on one side to the hill on the other, and I wonder how the two meet behind her...

JFC... This is so wrong, but sadly this isn’t new to me. Not the weight part - I’ve had weight problems and gotten shit from doctors over it - but the whole not being taken seriously by doctors part. My mother suffered a great deal, for years, largely because of doctors not taking her seriously or doing the complete…

The chainsaw is the one that gets me. These birbs are living hardware samplers. Also, thank you for linking the Attenbororough one - he’s delightful.

The “Save” button doesn’t have quite the same feel, I agree.

That was my first thought as well. I hope she’s safe. Right-wingers are on the violent side of psychotic these days, and I bet that sadly she’s probably received death threats already.  We live in fucked-up times...

I swear the commentariat around here used to be more leftist.

Agreed. I’m not sure why the author appeared to lump the two together, aside from Manchin.

“High time Dems start going after those center-right leaning assholes who continue to obstruct legitimate progress.”
