This is both an amazing burn and an incredibly succinct summary.

I’m putting the odds that Trump has ever been inside a grocery store somewhere between slim and none. If he’s worried about the global wheat supply (narrator: he isn’t), he should tell his good friend Vlad to get the fuck out of Ukraine. But the odds he knows that wheat is involved in bread production are even slimmer than odds of his having been in a grocery store, so probably (definitely) we should just ignore the word-sounding noises coming from his pie hole.

I think transferring a real fear women face (getting raped in or around a bathroom or at least perved on there) from the real aggressor (straight men who assault and harass women) onto a scapegoat who they want to see harmed (trans women) is the how and why. Using one group’s oppressive fear to do harm to a less powerful group is what fascism is all about, right? In this way men who rape women are the friends and allies of women like MTG, helping keep women under control and in fear, all while…

Just learn to type the different kinds of dashes properly, people. Hyphen: For joining compound words and names. “British-Australian entertainer Olivia Newton-John is seventy-three years old.” En Dash: For denoting a range of dates or values. “Open 9am–5pm, Mon–Fri” Em Dash: For introducing a pause or aside. “I never—well, almost never—stalk the streets thirsting for human blood.” Dine and Dash: For evading responsibility for a restaurant tab. “Which way is your restroom?”

Because if you take all the nonsense (mo)Ron says if doesn’t add up. Also, 1 + 1 = 3 for ever increasing values of 1.

When you push the “weird and crazy” narrative over the authoritarian one, then you paper over the danger they pose. This happens all the time when white men go on shooting rampages - “Oh, they were mentally ill”… Bullshit. They were pumped up on dangerous ideologies and believed that killing people was okay because it’s “cleansing” the world of “filth”. We need to stop acting like these are still some fringe group and start calling them what they are: fascists. As long as we give them a pass, t…

Don’t be modest, son, that’s executive-level thinking right there! Next time just do the typing part and let the lawyers worry about the “does it work that way” part. Hell, if I can count on you to help me bury the occasional figurative or literal body, I think we can fast-track you for our corporate leadership program.

Where the hell are the anti-abortion scumbags who demand respect for a wad of cells but don’t say shit when a human being desperately needs help maintaining life. Oh Sorry, you’re on your own. What a bunch of heartless creeps

Ms. Pane is now a criminal in the eyes of my state. As a therapist, if she treats a teen who is transitioning (which she does), and if her treatment plan doesn’t affirmatively put a stop to the transition (which ethically she cannot decide against if the patient does not want it) she can be arrested (which we are now planning for).

Again, my take as a linguistics guy: Republicans Murder Language. Words cease to have durable meaning, and that side just beams with Smirk when our side tries to hold them to any kind of account for their utterances.

No-one has addressed this aspect yet: disability. Disabled people have been begging for even one day a week WFH for many years. For all sorts of reasons, from the sheer amount of time saved on travel and preparation for travel, to the sheer mental overhead of being in a space where you are highly visible and isolated at the same time. As someone on the spectrum, someone just coming up and chatting to me isn’t just a disruption, it can undo the progress of a whole day. For years, disabled peopl…

Nailed it. This could be a Langston Hughes poem:
How much, though? Does it hurt her as much as a billy club to the face, a boot the neck, or a bullet in one’s back? Does it hurt as much as living with the knowledge that one has less rights just because of the color of one’s skin? Does it hurt as much as every news story telling me yet another POC has been shot and or killed by the police; because once again, some nosy-ass power-trippin’ busybody actively decided to weaponize LEOs’ already egregious propensity for lethal violence? By all…

Those pills induce an abortion by creating a miscarriage. They’re essentially medically indistinguishable, as the article talks about. The doctors should have still seen her. They see people who shoot themselves, who get in knife fights, and who OD on heroine. Doctors should not be in the business of withholding critical care because they disapprove of what the patient did, or because it’s illegal. That’s exactly the point.

I am being priced out of my apartment. I don’t live in a great area. I hear gun shots in the summer. They are old apartments with few modern amenities, and a very shitty layer of BLACK vinyl siding added to them to make them look more modern. They want to raise my rent nearly 100 dollars with the new lease. “It’S nOt Us RaIsInG iT, It Is ThE iNcReAsE iN mArKeT vAlUe!” is the reason I get for the increase. It has nearly doubled in the 6 or 7 years I have lived here. So I need to move. I have a…
