I knew you weren’t defending, I was just backing up your instinct that the term was on the garbage heap long before the lazy clinician used it

My great grandmother was a nurse at the Vineland Training School in the Depression, where she worked under the despicable Dr. Goddard. Three of her five children established residential homes for disabled children and adults mid-century. That word was disappearing by the 70s, no excuse today.

I prefer to believe that the “person” at Chewy who helped me get refunds for a considerable amount of unused food and supplements after my cat passed was not a bot. If it was, it was a kind an empathetic bot, so not a grok offspring.

“Another” ferret! A friend for a lonely existing pet ferret? A replacement for a ferret that went missing while visiting grandma’s house at thanksgiving? So many possibilities

Hear me out: Trump thinks Kelly must be a loser with zero charisma because he is unapologetically bald.

Why is his dad wearing Bill Cosby’s sweater? Rapists all of the way down …
