Well... we’re also the same country that once said Rwandans didn’t experience genocide, and we still say Armenians didn’t.  We like to pretend the Holocaust was unique.

This was a fascinating, if infuriating, read. Can you write a follow-up article about treatments for depression? You owe us. :(

Jenny McCarthy describes the time she saw the light go out of her son’s eyes and he became empty inside. She sounds like a total bitch who has absolutely no place being a mom. When I read stories like this, I just want CPS to snatch all the kids and give them to decent adults.

We have access to knowledge, but we still have to filter and analyze it.  People have smartphones but not critical thinking skills.

What’s 4+4-4?

Things built by people, that will only last a few years, can get disposable names. I chuckle at the innocent silliness of Boaty McBoatface.

“The Dream” is amazing. They were my first introduction to the Christian bag industry (?!), and just after I listened to the final episode, my cousin started selling them.  :(

Republicans are aware that Native Americans were here first, but white people get to replace them because white people “won” by murdering them. It was a series of “fair” “wars.” That’s literally the rhetoric. In contrast, the people showing up at the border today aren’t declaring war and aren’t winning anything, so…

“If you don’t download my music, it’s basically like you beat me, tied me to a fence, and left me for days to slowly die.” Her immature perspective is offensive.

Wiener is anti-wiener. Years ago, he advanced a law that banned nudity in one of the last major cities that allowed it (SF), all while promising that there would later be exceptions for major festivals (pride, carnaval) and some beaches. His supporters really stressed those promises. The law passed. Of course, he…

Public exposure, public indecency/lewdness... the list goes on. If you can prosecute a man for urinating behind a tree, then you can prosecute him for pleasuring himself in the open.

How do you reconcile that with the case law that says corporations have religious beliefs? The corporate entity believes in a god or gods. The abstract thing of the company somehow reads the Bible or another book.  So if a gay person wants to hail a cab or reserve a hotel room, the corporation can say no.  That’s the…

Will it age at all?  It’ll take years to build, and soon after, it’ll be destroyed by bombs.  I’m fine with this name.

If you’re patient and polite, you can get meetings too.  I’ve met with 5 or so state legislators in their offices.  I’m nobody.

...but they’re divorced.  Separation is pretty common leading through a divorce.

Our policy leaders say humans coexisted with dinosaurs and climate change was invented by communists. You think they give a fuck about any new research? They’re almost illiterate.

She’s not scowling. She has some sort of muscular/nerve problem. It’s especially awkward when combined with her constant whining, but there’s nothing she can do about her face.

At first, I was frustrated they aren’t giving their spare thousands of dollars to a charity. Then I read that the guy says, “Believe me, I could use the $200.” So this is beginning to sound like an addiction that harms the collector too.

Town was such a huge, fun place.  It’s no more.  :(

White supremacy is one form of bigotry. There are other forms of bigotry, like what happened here. You don’t need an explanation from me; you seem personally familiar with the concept.
