"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."

Apartheid Clyde a petty, dangerous, incompetent man but what always amuses me is how no one likes him and he canโ€™t even buy his way into getting people to like him. He canโ€™t buy a good sense of humor or good looks or good reputation.

ANYWAY, did you know there's an extension you can put on Chrome that will connect with your local library system and when you go look at a book, say on AMZ, it will tell you if that book exists in the library system and if it's available?

It's literally called Library Extension.

that Noem video reinforces my belief that there is a streak of sexualized sadism on the US right that goes back to lynching imagery but began in its most recent form with the enthusiasm for torture during the Bush years.

I'd like to extend an unironic thank you to the "classic women's-studies feminist type of girl" who taught Peter stuff in college. It's unglamorous and important work ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

what the right is offering young men is the subjugation of women in lieu of any material gains for men. that, like many components of fascism, feels very immediately rewarding to some people. itโ€™s not something you can easily replicate on the left.

But the people who attended the meeting say they are just concerned Kansans who wanted their senator to hear their concerns.

There is no administration in modern history that has so vehemently and rapidly expressed its disdain for veterans and if Democrats were doing even a fraction of this every newspaper in the country would be calling for resignations

Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

One thing I don't understand from this finger-wagging is how women are supposed to forgive these young men for their immediate recourse to misogyny.

For decades, a doctor refused to charge patients who couldn't pay. When he couldn't pay, his patients came to his aid. When Dr. Michael Zollicoffer was diagnosed with two types of cancer, his patients started a crowdfunding campaign that raised more than $100,000.

A doctor has been serving one of Baltimoreโ€™s poorest neighborhoods for decades โ€” and if his patients canโ€™t pay, thatโ€™s OK with him.

So when he was diagnosed with cancer, his community rallied to raise $100,000 for his treatments.
