I’m honestly as tired as the “John McCain was a terrible terrible person who no one should say nice things about” pieces as the “John McCain was last of a rare and noble breed of American statesmen” pieces. Dude died just yesterday, and in my universe, it’s still poor manners to interrupt other people’s mourning with…

Poor Ivanka! She must have felt like a baby separated from her mother and put in a cage. *hugs*

would you like to place a bet on me ever leading a story on Jez with Kim again because i’ll win

Absolutely. I was very young when I finally told my mother about the serious sexual assault I experienced by someone close to the family. She was decisive and relentless—through reporting to the police, all the interviews and the court hearings and therapy, through my crippling fear and other people’s judgement. I…

If one of my daughters were to tell me something like this, my first instinct would be to grab the sharpest or heaviest instrument I could find and annihilate the perpetrator.

Thanks for sharing this, I’m sure most of us would have no idea what to do if this happened to us or a family member.

Not only that but I’ve always viewed anti-vac people as basically saying “I’d rather my kid die of a preventable disease than be autistic.” Because that’s what it pretty much boils down to. They don’t want an autistic child, and they blame the vaccines for that possibility. They’d rather their child just outright die…

There’s not much I judge parents on, but failing to vaccinate is absolutely one of them.

Are we making fun of people with MS now?

Things Australia/Canada/Europe has:

I’ll take it upon myself to speak for all MSU grads. Fucking good. Should be more, but whatever. Now kindly fix yourselves and continue to purge all those “reputation above all else douchebags”.

The DOE taking this seriously.

FWIW I bought a pair of Tieks and was incredibly disappointed. I found them absurdly uncomfortable. Like, pins and needles, cutting off my circulation, digging into my heels uncomfortable. I wore them once and gave them to charity.

Maternity wards should just give out badges to men that they can flash people to show they’re legit

I’m actually listening to it on Audible (I had a credit to burn) and I gotta say - he’s actually an EXCELLENT narrator. The milk accident had me CRYING in laughter with the mental imagery. Also, hearing Jim Comey say the word “turd” made me LOL.

Ah, yes. North America, that noted historical “homeland” of white people...

It’s a fucking shame that career civil servants are experiencing backlash for staying in and doing their jobs. Almost any political appointee is fair game for that sort of criticism. But most career civil servants have served, and will serve, presidents of both parties. They don’t choose their president, the American…

It’s the very same people who say ‘why didn’t he just comply’ that are the first to say the ‘cops feared for their lives.’

The Fish in The Cat in the Hat should be at the top of this list. I know, in the cartoon it is voiced by a guy but the book does not assign that fish a gender and I would argue it is the ultimate Lame Bitch.

We are set up to hate the fish, when all it does is point out that we don’t know that cat and he should not be…
