Imagining Donald and Melania attempting to kill one another while singing about how much the love each other is hilarious.

With all the bad news, at least we can laugh at the fact that these rich assholes absolutely despise one another.

Even if they do get rid of him, won’t he be a vulnerability for years to come? Because of the position he was given, certainly not earned, he is privy to not only the details of current military strikes but also secret goals for future military projects. Right? I assume most people who have these jobs have a modicum of self-respect and patriotic duty. But couldn’t he just leak that important info to anyone even after he is fired?

“Can’t meet you guys at the bar for drinks we are about to bomb Yemen. Don’t wait up, my boy JD and I are going to get blackout drunk and try to drift a motorcade vehicle around the lincoln memorial.” Or something to that effect.

This site is fantastic. As I recall, you can do a whole string of destinations and it finds every possible route. Great for getting around Europe when I was on a tight budget.

Anyone can be an astronaut if they suck the right old guys dick. Groundbreaking levels of participation award handouts.

Astronaut - deriving from ancient Greek astron (star) nautes (sailor). They were useless cargo. No one in history has been called a sailor for taking an 11 minute cruise on a ship that they took no part in sailing.

There will be nothing good and beautiful in this world when he is done with it.

From a man who was notorious for not paying his contractors on NYC properties?

Project scheduling programs. Primavera, Microsoft Project, Asta Powerproject. All of them are uniquely awful in their own way, and yet I still have to pay for them in order to work in my field.

I really like her delivery. I tend to get heated about these things, and I think that kind of tone turns people off when talking about the injustice in stunts like this. Her level headed statements really drive the point home. And I want to be more like that because articulating why this isn’t inspiring is important. Science communication is becoming so popular these days, but a lot of people are just trying to capitalize on the trend and not actually care about the science.

Well, that’s a shame. Loved so many of these actors and this adaptation. But I’m not going to show financial support for Gaiman in any way.

Punchable faces (aside from the child of course)

I didn’t reflect on all of this until my 20’s. I coach girls from around 8-18 years old, and the standards for interacting with kids nowadays means you have to take a lot of abuse training courses. That coupled with watching the girls I coach try to navigate social media and coming of age made me realise how abnormal my own upbringing was.

Its crazy how protective I feel about these kids that aren’t even my own. But looking back on the dangers lurking in the corners, I know how important it is to keep kids in the loop. Not to scare them, or try to keep them isolated. But safety starts with communicating freely with the safe adults in your life. I think things are trending towards more quality information about sex being readily available. Most (non religious) parents seem to realize they need to raise confident kids that they have an open dialogue about important things with.

My mom peaked in my room and left me with the American Girl book about hygiene and female anatomy. I don’t think it said anything about sex. Just had to navigate that part of life armed with (mis)information from whispered conversations with friends over sleepovers.

I think back on how many experiences I had growing up that could have gone wrong. This was all happening just as AIM chatrooms and chat roullette were popular. And there were so many creeps that my friends and I talked to because we were curious. No normal adult was giving us the information, but plenty of adults online were happy to talk and ask for favors in return. Shivers down my fucking spine.

I am so thankful that I was too nervous to do anything and usually ended conversations quickly. But the risk of genuine harm was right there, and our parents had no idea. We laughed whenever we saw a penis appear on chat roullete and clicked away, but we were not mature enough to know how fucked up it was. It was our parents’ job to guard us from that. Not by putting blinders on us. But by affording us the respect of an important conversation.

I am so passionate about people having this discussion with their kids. Kids are curious. The fact that the subject is taboo makes it even more exciting for kids. It is such a crucial moment in the transition to adulthood. Ignoring the conversation endangers them by making the subject seem exotic and inticing.

Have the conversation with your kids or someone else will. And you will have no control over how and when that happens.

Never ate liver and onions until I was married. My own mother was grossed out when I told her I ate liver. But it is so flavorful! I’m sad I missed out as a kid because my parents thought it was gross. I promised myself I will not do the same to my kids.

My phones autocorrect has been garbage recently. I feel like a few years ago, it was much better at predicting what I meant to type, and I could easily edit on mobile using the suggested corrections. But now it is worse. Even with words or names I use all the time.

Yes! Absolutely this.

What could possibly be worse?

I hope this decision haunts these people for the rest of their lives. I know they won’t publicly speak out ever, likely to save face and toe the line in their community. But when they lay their heads down at night, I hope they are truly ashamed of their failure as parents.

She will do anything for money, that has been clear for a long time. Stop giving her attention, and her ability to charge $2million dollars for an instagram post will collapse.

I can imagine the smell of this image. No catalytic converters and beautiful summer sunshine makes for a distinct combination. Summer car shows are the best.

“Stuff in it that we don’t trust.”

Better to be dead than injected with chemicals that might make you autistic? Gay? A liberal? What could possibly be in the vaccines that would be worse than your child no longer existing?

As a parent, I am so angry. How can you look at your child and be more afraid of the lesser outcomes (not that they even exist, but still) and choose death? What a failure of the parents. And shame on every single person in the media that let this bullshit spiral out of control. That poor girl.
