its the tried and true GOP cycle.  Claim fiscal responsibility, get in office and run the fuck outta the budget, lose election and blame it all on Dems + let Dems clean it up, then start the cycle again.  It is the GOP grift cycle ... Wall St and defense clean up every GOP admin.

Do we need some Randy Rainbow? I think we do:

I have friends with very obvious disabilites who have had to hire lawyers in order to receive disability medical care and to cover living costs.

That’s politically understandable. Which is why I don’t believe it to be the real reason given that it comes from the Trump administration. There has to be something more ridiculous, like a sex dungeon in a pizza parlor or some shit.

“Turn the Middle East into a parking lot” isn’t far behind “Send the brown people back to their shithole countries” on the list of important issues to his base, though.

Starred because it’s the absolute fucking truth.

I have to say, though, the one thing we can at least depend on the president for is his consistency. In every situation, at every opportunity, in any scenario, he will always say or do the dumbest, most hateful, short-sighted, stupid thing possible.

He (and his defenders in that piece) really seem to believe that his intentions matter more here than their effect on the victims. And they just . . . don’t. If you’re a man in the 21st century kissing women at work, it’s not their job to figure out whether that’s because you’re a lech or a socially awkward dork. If…

Hard disagree. This country is woefully uninformed about science, and that leads to the anti-vaccination movement and climate change denials, among many other problems. NDT is obviously being pedantic with this, but it draws attention to being informed and accurate about representation of physics principles.

Counterpoint: NDT has taught me many things, and Jack Crosbie has not enriched my life in literally any conceivable way.

He just taught me that water crystals have six-fold symmetry. That probably wouldn’t have happened without his input. I don’t know. Learning stuff can be kind of good.

The fact of the matter is they just see it as a game. Their wealth and power will insulate them from republican barbarism and they will never feel the brunt of McConnell’s inhuman policies. Only the little people suffer and we are expected to bear it until “next time”.

It also makes the Marvel / True Detective Universe confusing as hell.

How do you dress in your thirties? I went shopping today and the women’s clothes were either way too young (crop tops and all the skin) or way too old (shapeless flowy blouses). I’m a very jeans, t-shirt, and cool sneakers kind of person. I’ve never been super feminine. I want to step things up a bit, but I am so…

Shelter Cat TBT!

HOly shit I made SNS tonite!!!

I guess I am not sure how this works with 7 of 9's timeline, but I don’t really care, I love Jeri Ryan & am glad that she was on it.

I really hope they don't all in with the action and give us some more classing TNG slow burn sci-fi and philosophical exploration. 

I didn’t know how desperately I needed to see that until the tears were rolling down my face and I was/am sobbing like a child.
