Liberals & Liberal pundits, please stop trying to rewrite the image & history of Lindsay Graham. He was a horrible human being who harmed 10s of millions of people who were poor & working class. He was a BAD person. Lionizing fascists in this day & age? Go get permanently lost in an escape room.

Unfortunately a lot of people still think death should be the deterrent from using illicit drugs. Because they’re ok with certain people who use certain drugs dying.

Last week, I shared an article that presented the case study of a woman who died after unknowingly taking counterfeited anti-cancer drugs. This is somehow... worse?

You're looking at a 200 year-old wisteria vine at Byakugou-ji Temple in Tamba, Hyogo, Japan. The delicate pink/purple blossoms create an otherworldly place where magic can happen. But here's an interesting fact: wisteria are in the legume family (Fabaceae). This is a magic beanstalk.

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

Let's speak truthfully about the dead. The more we do, the greater the drive to make one's story a good one.

Like, I knew but….I tried to search a specific story and the search term “cop uses flock to stalk woman” got pages and pages of results

and every election is about how homeless people are the problem

If I recall correctly, I said something like "Well, less evil in the world today." when a very nasty co-worker died.

Solar energy just provided more electricity in the US than coal for the 1st time on record. So, spending $700 million to bail out the coal industry is like throwing a lifeline to a ship that has already sunk. All the president’s men might not be able to put the coal industry back together again.

I know I'm a cynic but also, having worked in a lot of different industries, as far as I can tell there have always been lazy assholes, plagiarists, and grifters And the easier it is to coast (with new tools for fraud, say), the more of the ones 'on the fence' fall off it and onto the dark side

I had replied to the below: Paper maps are great. Never run out of juice, let you see the close-up detail and the big picture at the same time (because they're three feet wide, unlike your phone), and the more you use them the more you learn your way around without them, unlike obeying a machine.

These kinds of laws have an invisible ripple effect across the country. A good number of corporations will just change their policies instead of making a NYC-specific protocol. A lot of the consumer protections we have started in one state or big city.

lmao you had him on your show and glazed the shit out of him. you had every opportunity to "vet" him, more or less just refused, and now you're acting like you're above it all and filled with superior wisdom. this is very funny to me, I read this and laughed, which I like doing, thank you.

Vancouver approved $4.75 million to make five blocks of Granville Street car free for seven more weeks. But the organizations they gave the money to — the VPD and BIA — can't say what that money will be spent on. Here's our story on a plan being made up on the fly. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I feel like it sounds dismissive or flip, but for a Very Online Xennial Cis Woman, those reddit posts would have been the game even without the tattoo. Because we know that guy. We are so so tired of that guy. We have been studying their red flags since the Lewinsky jokes in our teens.

Haymarket Books, the Chicago-based radical left-wing press known for focusing just as much on social and economic justice as on its bottom line, is marking its 25th anniversary with one of its best years in recent memory.

why is it so difficult for people to wear masks in public spaces like hospitals. like I've dramatically lowered my expectations from other public spaces, but not even hospitals?

It is truly incredible how some of these male leftists who correctly criticize the police and court system will turn around and say a rape allegation can’t be taken seriously unless it passes through the cops and courts

Unfortunately, HR made our office manager take this down almost immediately. They said because it's in a common area, it had to be removed. We've used common areas for many things as a team, including fan works, but HR seems to believe that a Celebration of Service is inappropriate.
