I don’t debate that at all, but institutional recognition is institutional recognition. Or, to invert it, nobody’s gonna dismantle the military via transphobia.

I think it’s fair to celebrate the end of a certain kind of disenfranchisement even while recognizing that the American war machine is awful. I mean, our country is currently set up in such a way that the only option for education and healthcare for a significant number of people is to join the military. We can…

Yes, the Hancock building and the triangle ‘vagina’ building, and the red one, whichever one that is.  Def Chicago. 

That is most definitely the Chicago skyline, not NYC. Makes the Peoria reference more appropriate, though.

It is, but it is not Ann Sather’s. Half a mile away, sure, but come on Jezebel that’s just lazy.  My apartment is a block away from Ann’s, I would have sent you a picture. 

I feel like this is kind of the nature of music, though. Very little of it stands the test of time, but a great deal of it means something to a person or a group of people at a certain time. I remember earnestly singing to songs that legitimately make me cringe now (I’m looking at you, Backstreet Boys’ “Incomplete”).…

I get that maybe they thought they knew the “real her”...after all, they did work with her every day for years, clearly stayed in touch, blah blah blah. And thought all her rants and ravings were one offs. Not serious. One bad day. Joking. All the things you tell yourself when somebody you cared about is crumbling.

Milkovich said the bill would “assist in [the] fight” against the “scourge of abortion in Lousiana.”

The more I see these evangelicals support ever-increasing levels of unethical and criminal behavior in their elected officials, the less I believe anything about them is motivated by “religion” (however you define the term). They’re just judgmental authoritarian prigs who want to tell others how to live their lives.…

-_- i’m all about weed being less dangerous than cigarettes, but cmon with it not being harmful at all. There aren’t long term studies on it. As a dentist, the studies that *have* been done about weed and periodontal disease show a very similar reaction in your mouth as cigarettes- that is, decreased vascularity and…

Two somewhat common bumper stickers here in Colorado Springs where these fuckers call home.

I think you’re reading way more into this than necessary. And just because we don’t know doesn’t mean the baby won’t.

“Charlie, who we can all agree is a cuck”

See, I would have been mad if he ended up with Knives, since the whole movie was Scott realizing he didn’t deserve the various good things in his life. He was “in a band” he kept ditching rehearsals for. He was “with” a couple of girls and lying to both of them. He was the older guy who dates a high schooler because a…

Then you haven’t seen the good news! It’s mostly rebuilt and should be opening in a few months.

You should go to Long Room on the north side of Chicago. One of the best bars in the city and no TVs.

Well, Lorde has no problem playing in Moscow after they blew up a bunch of Syrians, terrorized Ukraine, and shit all over LGBTQ folk so I can’t really see the principle here. This is why country boycotts are ridiculous.

“The Beast With Two Side Dishes”

I am totally okay with them not letting people drive until 21.

I’m fine with this. Smoking is terrible, sometimes I wish cigarettes were banned outright. I smoked on and off from age 22 to 26, and many of my friends at the time were smokers. So many of them have struggled to quit for years, and regretted ever starting. I don’t know any smokers who are really happy that they’re…
