Gee, I can't imagine what the knock-on effects will be when young people are discouraged from attending college by the right wing.

(I mean, I can. A less-informed electorate and a bunch of people who are extremely bitter and angry because they can't get good jobs.)

It's more impressive to slam a taller container like it's a yard of ale.

One of the few things I'm absolutely sure of is that there's nothing wrong with being trans. We're just a type of person. We deserve equality because all people deserve equality.

Oh, yeah, they're awesome! Thanks for replying!

I've actually seen them on the website before, I think, but they look cooler on you. :)

I have a shallow question. Where did you get those green pants? I love them!

Not a single one of the NYT top movie memes I’ve seen even ranks Road House. That’s how I know all of you have horrible taste.

Watching it this weekend just to prove a point.

This looks like it comes from an alternate universe where all Taco Bell has are choco tacos and Chik-fil-A is like a Hooters drive-thru.

Somebody called him the unluckiest man to become President, and they might be right (considering what happened to his kids).

“We wanted to learn the truth about the concerns and the science behind vaccine safety. So we talked to two uneducated, elderly, white, millionaire conspiracy theorists in a Steak & Shake.”

We use the cutting board and trivets for this. I mean, we've cooked dinner for 24 people on holidays, and it was fine.

Yeah, I don't know why that's factored in, but it's mentioned ALL THE TIME. Who's out there putting hot skillets on countertops??

I enjoyed the read, Ruth. And I'm sorry it had to come to this.

Musk is unilaterally wrecking the government from within and lining his own pockets. Get him out, terminate his access to all government systems. If you can't rally the public against a cartoonishly corrupt bond villain who's stealing from them in plain sight then get out of politics

Quartz/Quartzite is a good, durable choice, and beautiful to boot. That would be my pick.

We cook a lot but treat our countertops with care regardless; I don't sling hot pots onto these surfaces in any case.
