Hey everyone. Hate that I have to post this. My dog was hit by a car tonight and suffered a shattered leg and damage to her intestines. Surgery and medical expenses are roughly $20,000. It’s been a rough year and anything helps.

This anti-trans frathouse fuckmelon is on HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY?
Our motherfucking media is useless. How do you NOT mention this when he's arguing against trans health care?
And how do you print this fact here without immediately calling attention to his opposition to hormones for trans ppl?

And they think trans people shouldn't have access to HRT because all these rich weirdos want it for themselves and their immortal fantasies.

This list thinks that Ace Ventura, Pet Detective is funnier than Blazing Saddles. There are very few matters of taste that I can say are absolutely definitely definitively wrong, but that is one of them.
The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Something I use to talk a lot on radio shows about was how much of an american racist mindset is about the assurance that your stance is secretly a popular one, you're just the only one brave and smart enough to say it. And so when they see something that grinds against that, it's a crisis.
Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

There are two of them right next to each other. I swapped their positions the last time I cleaned them. I assume one cat has a very strong preference and everybody else follows her lead.

Oof. I'm not going to doubt some places have outrageous housing costs driving up the average and childcare is a nightmare, but I live in California and that is "comfortable" money, not poverty.
Man, gotta love some Wall Street guy who decides It’s Time To Care About Poverty and uses vibe math to recalculate the poverty line, as… $136,500

just found out that the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving painting was originally published alongside an anticapitalist essay by a then unknown Filipino-American writer and labor organizer (Carlos Bulosan). damn www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2017/12/carl...
![Freedom from want by Norman Rockwell
painting shows an aproned matriarch presenting a roasted turkey to a family of several generations,[9] in Rockwell's idealistic presentation of family values. The patriarch looks on with fondness and approval from the head of the table,[10] which is the central element of the painting. Its creased tablecloth shows that this is a special occasion for "sharing what we have with those we love", according to Lennie Bennett.[8] The table has a bowl of fruit, celery, pickles, and what appears to be cranberry sauce. There is a covered silver serving dish that would traditionally hold potatoes, according to Richard Halpern,[11] but Bennett describes this as a covered casserole dish.[8] The servings are less prominent than the presentation of white linen, white plates and water-filled glasses. The people in the painting are not yet eating, and the painting contrasts the empty plates and vacant space in their midst with images of overabundance.[12](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ow37qmuwsv3qlrkh6xdglqxl/bafkreicojgtdxpmrz4kpy2lehauwn7hpwooyd3avi2xskn5gdtd2rdlrhm@jpeg)

In my experience, they're often trying to copy a traditional method they inherited from older family members and don't want to change the method too much.

I have been cursed as a sort of turkey Cassandra, in that I tell people how to make it good, I even offer to make it for them, but they refuse, make it the same shitty way they always have, and then talk about how disappointing turkey is.
Just let me cook it, please.

I’ve won many bets by people who said that they hate turkey by serving them a brined spatchcocked turkey that’s cooked right.
