Ever hear the Mysterious Voices of Bulgaria? I have no idea what they were singing about (probably planting crops or something equally unrelated to my experiences) but it’s still amazing!

If the president can't be sued while in office, then he shouldn't be able to sue anyone.

Sad that anyone thinks of nerd as a pejorative anymore.

My English mother in law had the cilantro soap thing…pretty sure she rinsed dishes though.

Dude, they’re movies. It’s not really cinematic watching people plant and weed crops or mend clothes.

We started part way through. Which made it very confusing… Wasn’t sure whether the scenes with multiples were the same person at different times at first.

It is not an indicator of a civilized society that the military deposes an elected president. It is a sign of an unstable society. Once the military has taken charge once, it becomes likely that it will do so again.

You should also know that a lot of celebrity β€œdrama” is actually a multi-billion dollar industry of shaming and humiliating public figures for upsetting the status quo, whether that’s cutting off your parents or a sexual harassment lawsuit against your boss. It’s conservative ideology at its core.

I remember an older woman expressing her anger at Megan Markle and wondering why she could possibly care at all. It really made me think less of her…and we literally met volunteering at a food pantry!

I know we all agree Epstein stuff is important, because of the need for justice for the victims. Certainly current deaths are a priority over past crimes.

One reason for the emphasis is that it’s a symptom of the larger problem…the corruption inherent in a government that only protects the 1%z

Condoms aren’t 100%. Not sure of your point here.

Protection is important and better than taking risks but still..

Ohio has term limits.

Our legislature is completely unresponsive to the actual needs of our citizens.

In peak abuser behavior, the U.S. government is claiming that shooting a woman in the face causes internal bleeding in men.

Cassandra. The Greeks were terribly misogynist but even they got a couple things right.

Every person that apologizes and acknowledges their error…and becomes an ally..they should have the opportunity. Except for those in the Administration or who are actually complicit…they deserve consequences.

Cassandra Cassandra was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba, lords of Troy, in Greek mythology. She was also known as Alexandra. According to one myth,...

Been thinking a lot about Cassandra recently. Weird how a culture as misogynistic as the Greeks could capture a genuine sense of what it means to be a woman. www.greekmythology.com/Myths/Mortal...

The deaf can experience music through vibrations and will do things like hold balloons to enhance their experience.

Except that version of Orient Express is not very good…the other episodes are much better.
