You can take just a girl out of Orange County, but you can’t take the Orange County out of a just the girl.

I eventually had to leave the church I grew up in, very specifically over my objections to another (special needs SS) teacher repeating Republican talking points during a prayer to God, and the leadership overtly trying to convince me trump is actually a good thing for the body of Christ.

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

But Randy was such a pillar of the local white supremacist community….

$413,000 per bed. Insanity.

While they cut health care, food assistance, etc.

Sounds like me after my divorce.

I love my little tubes the most. I have one ne with a built in lead acid battery pack I want to recondition.

Peaches smells like cheap lotions and discarded latex, and she is definitely way more dangerous than any metal guy.

I have had the same thoughts at times.

There is nothing special about the glyph if the same can be conveyed with our natural mode, which is sound. Most lit before Gutenberg that we objectively regard as “lit” are written copies of performance art, music, etc. Homer* only sang the Iliad. I say all that as a proper linguist.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

My grandfather loved him.

As Rep. Elaine Davis & Republicans push their anti-immigrant slate to turn our schools and hospitals into ICE informants, this is the vibe in the crowd

Anyone who runs a large company and doesn’t immediately hang on every word their HR person says to them is a fool who doesn’t deserve to run anything. Good luck!

That isn’t a federal thing.

Beers were held. But, same.

I almost dream of presidential debates where they have to engage in physical feats of strength like splitting logs the whole time, not to prove their strength, but just so everyone can see what they are like when they are doing hard work and stressed out, because they need to do that for 4 years.

Yeah, people need to see how infantile and unhinged these weirdos are. I think most (lower class) Trump voters would instantly change their mind if they spent an evening with the guy.

Open source options for multimedia work are actually amazing. So much of that (commercial DAW) world is based on vendor lock in and licensing etc that open source can give you old hardware back, etc. I do all my media work in Linux personally, to excellent results.
