Yeah I don’t really get it. I mean, I get the animal welfare argument...but the alternative is literally plastic (and fake fur is EVERYWHERE). And yes, people don’t NEED fake fur, but people like the look, so it’s obviously not going anywhere.

As countries and states continue to ban fur, Indigenous People are disproportionately feeling the effects and it’s devastating their livelihoods. While there are often provisions for Indigenous use or goods, the burden is on the seller to prove that the fur was harvested traditionally and that they are Indigenous and…

“Unborn child”?
So, murder of a young woman isn’t heinous enough until we can score a few extra outrage points?
He murdered a pregnant girl; that’s horrible enough. We don’t need to buy into the very terminology that devalued her personhood.

In return for the death sentence he gave his girlfriend, it’s justice. This isn’t some kid who just “made a mistake” or “had a juvenile lapse of judgement.”

Having a few beers at an after-prom party and then driving a car is a “juvenile lapse of judgement.” A teen might not be able to fully comprehend the possible…

Anyway, the fuck is this?!

The color is hardly the problem, at least by itself. It’s the color and then the wig.

Damnit, Klobuchar, what are you even DOING there?!

I think another issue is Kim’s wig is so big in that photo it look like an afro. Gotta admire her chutzpah to emulate Taylor with those hips. Her proportions are too modern for that vintage look. I’m also truly weirded out by those holes above her breasts. Clavicles were not a feature of old Hollywood glamour. And…

I feel like this sentiment could even extend to a great deal of Lloyd Weber’s wider work. It seems like a lot of it was just made to pander to the theater kids.

Maybe West Africans don’t get a taste of their own product the way Vietnamese factory workers have no fucking idea who Spongebob is other than that they get paid to sew his face onto backpacks day in and day out.

first time I’ve seen this and... y’all are perverts. 

Between overtime and benefits NYC trash collectors make more money than I do.  Maybe they should tip me for creating trash to keep them employed.

Despite those results, holiday tipping is still the norm—or, at least, it should be, said Patricia Rossi,

I would love to give the mail carrier 95% of the mail I receive. 

That story was way less interesting than the headline promised. I was thinking maybe they brought in some priests to exorcise the cheating demons (cheatons?) from Offset. “The Power of Christ compels you not to cheat!”

Don’t be too impressed with his medals, there’s a lot of show in there. He did go through the usual military training expected of all British male members of the royal family and did three years of Royal Navy duty but nothing spectacular.

I hear you when it comes to friendships, but honestly, there are so many people who abuse the “Can I vent?” or “Can I complain for a second?” or “Can you give me some advice?” aspect of friendship. As the friend who’s been in therapy for many years and has done a lot of work to deal with trauma and be a better human,…

Ehh, I find the term useful in exactly the texting scenario you describe, in consciously using it to decide if I’m genuinely friends with a person or not. If my reaction to a given person is, like yours, “YES!!!!!” then it means I do want to be friends with that person and it’s probably a case of equal footing and…

Gotta say — the nastier billionaires get about Warren, the more excited I am to vote for her. She seems to be the only candidate who the extremely rich think will significantly impact their lifestyle, and that to me is a big point in her favor.

Since distinctions do matter, Armenian Apostolic is neither Orthodox nor Catholic. It is its own thing, and has always been. There are similarities of course, much as Lutherans are similar to Episcopalians, but they are still definitively different churches.
