One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place.
Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

Things that should go down my plumbing often don't, so I challenge a rat, no matter how squishy they are, to make it up! And I guess if they do they can declog the pipe for me? I'd be incapable of flushing them down though.

It's an invisible need… an invisible center… helping invisible people. Meanwhile, I’m haunted by the invisible impact of the insatiable greed that’s so widespread (and sadly, celebrated) in our multi-millionaire and billionaire class.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

TOMORROW IS THE WINTER SOLSTICE AND Y'ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. It is time for the women (defined broadly) to hunt the Year King through the woods and tear him apart with their bare hands!

It happened to us in PDX. My wife managed to trap it in our bathroom, and we had a shit covered rat running around our bathroom for an hour until I could get home and murder it.

Life without a phone is a lot more relaxing than I thought it would be. Sure it's a pain, if I want to check my email or remember I needed to add something to the grocery list it involves a laptop, but I have no clue what's going on in the world. That's nice.

You see someone come on on a chair and then get up and walk off, it doesn’t mean shit. You don’t know what they’re dealing with and why they did that.

If you doubt this, look at Democrats! Despite having wildly more popular policies, they lost in 2016 and 2024 for one single reason: demobilization.
Infighting drove down participation, leaving room for Trumpists to take power.

Strippers are now the No. 1 donor of toys to children's hospital in Portland.
This year, they broke their own record raising over $183,000 for Doernbecher Children’s Hospital having a successful Tata for Toys once again.
