It seems that all the Hard hitting intense TV shows are constantly showing people eating with their mouths open. I believe it is supposed to show rawness and edginess in filmmaking. If all directors do this it gets old.

I went to a rock concert and my decibel meter said 110. I watched all the concert goers put their ear plugs in when the music started. Why are we doing this? Turn the music level down and take the plugs out! The sound would be so much better and we would all keep our hearing for a few more years.

I don't know if this is comforting: Since 1974 I have had to deal with evangelical preachers like Kirk. They say absolutely disturbing things about women, minorities, non-believers and love it when the people they yell at on the town mall react with anger. Disturbing my peace since 1974.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.

Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?

My own colleagues are silent.

Keith Richards should be studied by doctors to figure out how the hell he is still alive and a really vibrant human.

Bingham County Idaho. This CHILD RAPIST was sentenced to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old for 5 years. Part of his plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. So, what do y’all say we make him as famous as Brock Turner?
Meet Candon Dahle. Let’s make him famous.

It is impossible to to actually have this discussion with a magat...I have tried. I got To the point where I was talking about where sexuality and gender develop and had lost my audience.

No!!!!!!!! it is more than that, It is being alive, being satisfied with our lives and living in the now. Being alive is the baseline.

Sure, some of these women could be lying.

Have all the victims show up at the next debate and sit in the front row. I know this would be difficult for some of them...but it also might be empowering to scare the F out of that orange F.

Even if you said this as a joke...Stop Hate? Choose Love? Inspired Change? as a bad idea makes me want to punch people. At a minimum this is what people want from their own kids.
