Opinion | This Pastor Thought Being Gay Was a Sin. Then His 15-Year-Old Came Out.

My son came out to me, and oh, how I suffered. What a simple-minded dick. I shudder to imagine how he thinks of women and treats his wife.

This certainly gives me more information about the company.

Yesterday I submitted an online job application. This morning I received an email asking that I take a 30-second survey about the application process. Is this the new rejection letter? In any case, you have got to be kidding me.

Sure, on the one hand, this will make people worse off and contribute to climate change, but on the other hand it means higher demand on the energy grid which raises electricity prices for us all! 🥳

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

One of the most important patterns of the past few decades that has to break is the idea that you only get one shot to stop a crook and if they have the numbers that day, you have to take the L forever, the crook is now a respectable official.

Skydance reportedly in talks to buy Bari Weiss’ The Free Press — is CBS News role in her future? Sources speculate that Weiss could play a major role in reshaping CBS News, which has been plagued by criticism of a left-wing bias.

1. CBS sells itself to Trump's billionaire allies for $8 billion.

2. Trump manages to exort CBS for $16 million just for fun, leveraging some fake investigations at the FCC.

3. CBS fuses with Bari Weiss' bullshit machine to create another massive new right wing propaganda outlet.

Easy peasy.

Ew, gross.

what are you people doing fighting about the 2028 primary, we have glonzoing to do, stop it

The above-mentioned podcasts are good for half-listening to while I work.

Background: I'm an old with a fondness for rock, power pop, postpunk, and new wave. I like listening to culture podcasts when I need to dial back the anxiety and rage. And I like to dip a toe into current music trends.

Can someone recommend a podcast about pop music that's intelligent (and maybe not sexist, as an extra treat)? I have listened to "Switched On Pop" for a while, and it's not doing it for me. I like Song Exploder too. I haven't listened to NYT's Popcast much, although I don't have a good reason.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps.

It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Women and babies who live in areas that voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump are likely to suffer some of the most sweeping and damaging effects of the "Big, Beautiful Bill."

She wants to have it both ways. Forget it.

“But I voted for it anyhow.”

We're waiting.

The Alaska senators looking for another special deal for Alaska so they can screw over the rest of the country.

tfw you've just stripped healthcare from 17 million Americans and ensured the closure of rural hospitals

This whole story is insane

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
