The power of money.

My dad has always been extremely uncomfortable with clutter and messes. He rather obsessively loves to throw things away and clean up. Full coffee cup on the table and you go to pick up a magazine in the next room? By the time you are back, it’s empty, washed and in the dishwasher. I have many childhood school stories…

That is fuuucked uuup. I’m sorry for your loss.

She’s the one last just lost two hundred and fifteen pounds.

Missing stuffed animals are nothing to scoff at. I had a stuffed white polar bear (he was stuffed with softer beanie baby type stuffing rather than fiber fil) when I was 7 and it was the most awesome cuddle buddy right up into my difficult high school years. He went “missing” one day and it was devastating. I found…

And then there’s my favorite counter argument, ‘but this trained job makes a living wage, why do you think mere burger flippers should make the same amount as the person in the trained job?’ Well, I think someone in a trained job should probably make more than just a living wage.

Reaching out to diaper companies to ask why diapers are so expensive? As always, the right question is why are businesses allowed to employ individuals at a less than living wage? Every time I hear Republicans bitching about how unfair it is that they have to support the poor, I want to scream that they actively…

You ever have an incident in your neighborhood as a kid where two children decided to “fight” each other? Then you’d meet in a place where adults couldn’t interfere but also within shouting distance of an adult. The two “fighters” would play chicken for a while, “Hit me!” and then finally the shittiest kid would say…

What is with wealthy women acting like decorating their home is some big accomplishment? Big deal, you decorated your own house the way you like it, that is not contributing to society or even worthwhile work. It’s self serving, your are just surrounding yourself with things you like - who cares!

Does she want some sort of medal for choosing to decorate her own house herself? Wow. I understand that most people in her income bracket hire interior designers, but if *this* is the best anecdote she can come up with to show people how “down to earth” she is, that actually lowers my opinion of her even more.

Final hummingbaby update: I took this pic in the morning and when I got home that night they were gone. I’m child-free, so this is the first time I’ve felt the bittersweet pang of an empty nest. But I once read that in some Native American traditions the hummingbird is said to come as a reminder of the joy in life.…

“The New York City Housing Authority is no longer allowed to use money for things like repairs on public housing without asking for permission from Ben “ugly-ass $31k table” Carson. I’m sure this will end well!”

That ICE dude ... ahem, NO. ICE is literally ripping families apart. ICE is conducting unwarranted raids on workplaces, they’re dragging folks out of family services facilities and courthouses. ICE is the vanguard of the coming police state — they are the black forces in Children of Men.

I’m not the biggest fan of Amazon as a company but...

“We have two of my daughters here today

I love how utterly, painfully obvious these scumsucking goatlickers are about their corruption. They act like villains from Captain Planet.

Well another thing is the prevalence of the astroturf sites by conservatives. Here’s an example:

I honestly would of RAN if this came at me.

Hey, if you’re going to invoke Godwin’s Law, at least be accurate.

To say that the Trump family is a group of people who are morally equivalent to Jews who were slaughtered merely because of their ethnicity, well... you might want to re-think that stance.
