He needs Michigan’s electoral votes. 

Ew no. Don’t go barefoot after doing Baby Foot. It’s best practice to wear socks for the few days after your treatment, both because it catches all of the dead skin rather than dropping it all over the damn house but also IME it makes the shedding period go more quickly. Being barefoot dries out your feet, and…

I think his point is that we should not let fear of death prevent us from doing things that are necessary. Which, okay. 

Jesus, Joan. This is both the most beautiful and most heartbreaking thing I’ve read in a long time.

Any large corporation that doesn’t include the phrase “we are still paying our employees and plan to do so as long as we are able” in these emails gets a HUGE side-eye from me. My local bagel place put something up on FB and clarified - when I asked in the comments - that the majority of their employees have…

Minnesota and Vermont move to classify grocery store employees—cash register workers, warehouse stockers, delivery drivers—as “emergency employees.”

Counterpoint: in general, we need to move away from the idea that every last policy needs to be means-tested, and granted only to “the deserving”, because “the deserving” is how they get us every single time.

It’s possible that it’s my childhood neglect speaking, but have you tried letting your kids enjoy some unstructured free time? Like, the only rules are that it can’t hurt anyone or damage anything, and that at the end you have to learn something. I used to go nuts with that much freedom. And by “go nuts”, I of course…

This is literally the only good news I can recall hearing for several days.

“I’m annoyed by the fact that we’re totally ignoring the “I feel fine” portion of the title, which almost certainly nobody does.”

Are we the same person?

Well, let’s be honest, lots of people didn’t like Sanders because they had no confidence in his ability to actually deliver on any of his ideas (given his history), and also he has a history of of being like “black people, your problem is just Capitalism! A rising tide lifts all boats (lets ignore that most USA…

Not just medical professionals need those masks. My father’s manufacturing company is having a very difficult time finding N95 masks to protect the workers against fiberglass. This is a very dangerous situation not only for his employees, but also is concerning if his company is not alone in their quest to find…

Yes, that note about feminism and submissiveness was odd, both because it missed the point about feminism and it missed the point about his own relationship. Like, no, the biggest issue was exemplified when he and his partner had major intimacy issues from year 1 on, and his response was to propose before the issue…

For the first guy*

“I’m watching a kdrama this November 4th.”

She’s not. The Bernie stans who are also unreasonable people* have a hate boner for her. She’s actually done something to reduce the negative impacts of our extreme capitalism on regular Americans (the CFPB), which Trump is currently destroying. But go off about how she’s some kind of capitalist robber baron.

As a Warren supporter I have to admit she handled the attacks poorly by trying to dance around the costs. Made her look wishy washy to the left and a bit disingenuous to her more moderate support. That said, maybe there was no good way to play it because again, M4A might not be politically viable in 2020.

The race is still neck and neck. Sanders can still win. Last time Biden was in the lead he was knocked out in short order by his own vulnerabilities. He’s objectively not a strong candidate. His campaign has lasted this long solely on name recognition, association with Obama, and large donors. The more he takes center…

She was the most qualified and best prepared. She had step-by-step plans on how to achieve her goals, and said goals would have benefited most Americans.
