I mean I'm generally in favor of closed but if grandma died peacefully and people want to see her, okay that's fine I guess.

But when 16yo cousin Susie was mangled to death in a high speed car accident, why are we doing this?

It's never occurred to me that that's a question someone thought needed to be asked.

I've been to some horrific open casket funerals. Sometimes no one needs to see that.

I dunno. I used to be able to fit a shocking amount of stuff in my jeans pockets when I was a weird college student.

We have that discussion a lot because our kids are the only ones who wear masks.

Usually because someone else's parents made an issue of it.

Fortunately my children, at least for now, are not very interested in playing with people other than a couple of friends from school, but we have to keep a constant eye on it and it's exhausting.

The thing about Megyn Kelly is she could have stayed at NBC indefinitely or gone to any one of the major networks if she had been able to keep her right wing nonsense under her hat, but she can't help herself from blurting out stuff like "BLACKFACE IS FINE ACTUALLY!" for absolutely no reason.

I wish we could ban Roblox, but my spouse opened that door while we were still in Pandemic Isolation because my immune system is fucked and our kids needed some way to have friends.

I really do not love it.

Yes.

By all means let the Toms and the Cheneys and the Lincoln Projects into the tent and encourage them to vote against the regime and donate money to oppose the regime.

But anyone who listens to them or accepts their ideas does so at everyone's peril.

I don't think he's at all horrified. I think he just sees that his chances for wealth, power, and comfort in an American Reich are limited and as such hopes for a return to a status quo ante wherein he can return to being an openly racist right wing garbage truck.

I'm sure you are but I just assumed you would get it anyway for some reason.
