In the history of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most. SMH. Politicians lie. These politicians lie so often it seems like breathing.

MacFarlane: The Second Harvest Food Bank of North Central Ohio has got the same issue. Last year, they paid $50,000 for diesel to transport their food. Now, they’re paying $150,000 for the diesel to transport their food.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

Billionaires and the trillionaire have ceased to exhibit full humanity. They are dragons. Not McAffrey dragons.The fabled hoarding monsters who can never have enough of something they don't need. They begin to want to feel actual human need, so they create anti-humanistic desires. Dragons.

Just came to the thread to say that at the last middle school band concert I attended, there was a family of SEVEN all recording in the row in front of me - a wall of phones for my viewing pleasure. My kid's solo? Audio recorded. On my lap. There for the music.

Our dog, Tragedy, lived with us when we were renting a house on 50 acres. She was a fiendish hunter despite our best intentions. One morning I put her out, she scooted free and somehow came back an hour later carrying a small snapping turtle. Dogs concentrate all the goodness in their short lives.

When you can, avoid number-only date formats. Sighted users could be confused on whether the first number is the month or day. If you've incorrectly designated your document's language, screen reader users might hear the wrong date. Writing out the month prevents this confusion.

I'm a really bitchy patient. "How are you going to prove that differential?" "Prove to me you're not responding with heuristics" "Are the risks of a procedure to fully diagnose my condition less than the risks of watchful waiting if you're wrong?". Never been wrong to push. I'm sorry it's this way.
