fell down a rabbit hole of looking to see if Trump was a southpaw (he's not) and realized, at the ripe age of 42, that when I was told all those years ago that I lacked motor skills that PERHAPS IT WAS JUST BECAUSE I WAS LIVING IN A WORLD NOT MEANT FOR SOUTHPAWS

When Life Is Crashing Over Your Head
You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf
Caretaking your elderly parent can be a real fucking bitch but sometimes you just gotta surrender to the messiness or else you'll get pulled under, too.

Most hospice workers are angels on earth, BUT there is hospice firm called Amedisys, owned by United Healthcare, and you should NOT put your loved ones in their care. That's all I'm going to say for now. They are incompetent charlatans. Choose someone else.

This is not about the merits of Iranβs nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

This is Los Angeles. Itβs 503 sq miles. Home to 4 million people. The small red dot is roughly where peaceful protests (and nocturnal lawlessness) have been happening. The rest of the city is calm. LA doesnβt need to be βsavedβ or βliberatedβ by soldiers. Our community is in danger. The city is not.

ICE rolls in, LA rises up.π₯
If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.

I am often asked how to defeat fascists. If I had an easy answer, we wouldn't be here! The point of my story is that I do have experience dealing with people who enjoy the anguish of others, and I know how fragile those people's confidence is. When I did a story on a troll harassment campaign against a woman in Montana, I published the audio of the creepy voicemails the trolls had left for her. A couple of my alt-right sources were furious because they felt embarrassed-the voicemails did not sound cool when played to a mass audience.
As troll culture has ascended to the highest levels of American governance, it's worth remembering this simple fact: One way to rebalance the power between a billionaire troll and regular people is to make sure everyone sees who they really are.
Never forget these people are losers. slate.com/news-and-pol...
