Yeah, I tend to think the paid leave argument isn’t effective against the anti-vaxx crowd. It reinforces the idea that vaccines are part of a capitalistic conspiracy. Or even simpler, that a kid who has someone to watch them if they’re sick doesn’t need to be vaccinated.

I’ve been saying the same things. The MAGA voters I know definitely don’t have passports.

Oh mine, too! My father’s great-great-great grandparents came over in the 1850s and ended up in Missouri.

From the bottom of my heart, FUCK YOU

This is a shoutout to the parents I know who supported Trump and have children or children in-law who won’t have access to these specific cures or treatments because of their shitty ass decisions.

“60% of voters don’t give a damn about your life, they give a damn about their own!” (Sorry, this is just like the perfect fucked up timeline version of The American President)

Obviously not what the thread is about, but this reminded me of the time my now 16 yo was 6/7 and had been playing Star Wars outside while his parents were, um, occupied. Our (closed blinds, curtained) window faced the front of the house and he walked to it & yelled “Daddy! Who killed Jango Fett?”

I will put pecans on just about any dessert, whether they're meant to go on it or not.

Have you tried them on the Trader Joe’s cinnamon roll blondies? SO good.

LOL, clearly I am a southerner through and through because I was trying to figure out what was wrong with it 🤣

Oh, man, that’s terrible news. His poor family.

Oh, man, as a qualitative researcher I felt this in my bones.

Oh no don’t tell Clark Howard that

Huh. I was wondering since he and Melania married in an Episcopal church.

Hahahahaha that perfectly describes the MAGA voters I know

Yes, that’s the one!

What’s that song that Rachel Bloom and a bunch of other television folks did in 2016? I haven’t been able to listen to it since, but that one. One line was “‘cause [he] is a garbage fire.”

Sounds right

This was our tradition for years once we got the Christmas tree up. We’d watch a disc a night. Put it on by 7:30 and we’d still be in bed by 10.

As a middle aged person I cannot believe we used to stay up to watch shows after the Super Bowl.

Love a random go dawgs

Ok, the de-aging is still weird to me, but as a nineties kid that was pretty good

Brett Ratner, the sex pest

Thinking of rewinding and just watching over and over

When I saw him I thought “is that…Liam?” And thought I must be crazy. I’m speechless about the confirmation that it was. Just amazing.

Of course MAHA gets a fucking wife beater who calls obese people fudgy

This is so much fucking fun

LOL my husband just said the same thing 🤣

See: the final 2 minutes of the first half of the 2025 UGA-Auburn game that took 30 minutes.

Oh, god, I’m pretty sure this was one of those things my brain forgot to make room for other things, like memorizing the names of British monarchs beginning in 1066.
