Catoholic, trilobitoholic Canadian. Math/science & law at uni. Most important: empathy & humility. Most interesting wit & insight. I try to live up to 'Never be afraid to admit you were wrong. You're only admitting you're wiser now than you once were.'
Excellent story. I like Cassie and that makes the story hard to take, as was the sexual assault scene, brief and non-graphic as it is.

TBF, techbros treat humans as things & would be justifying slavery if it hadn't been (kind of - vide convict labour) abolished about 160 years ago.

Just one more way Republicans are out to kill people. The GOP is a death cult with blood on its hands and lips.

Part of why the techbros hate Khan is that if you listen to her for a couple of minutes it's clear how very much smarter she is than any of them.

The new profile pic is a worthy successor to the nuclear side-eye pic. I'd be quaking if fixed with either look.

While the GOP Congressional delegation makes for tough competition, Tommy Tuberville is doing his damnedest to win the (apparently highly coveted) Louis Gohmert Memorial Trophy for Public Stupidity.

By 'pay a steep price', Trump is referring to what he'll charge beef price gougers for him giving them a pardon.

Had to find out what this is. Got to a review at The Guardian (fave news source, solid reporting sensible politics and no paywall, for which you're welcome) that started "I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad. " LOL!

Lovely pics, thanks. To me, the blur introduced in the thumbnails made me first think they were paintings. Something about the rainy atmosphere I suspect.

You can safely bet money the feds are lying their faces off on this one. As if some guy who works at the food bank suddenly turns murderous. So far when it comes to feds' claims someone is attacking them they've consistently lied as shown by video. I doubt this is a first time they're not lying.

The NYT has the blood of democracy on its hands for its sanewashing of Trump and for having spent far more ink on Clinton's non-existent emails 'scandal' than it did on all of Trump's many scandals. The NYT pretended Trump was no worse than anyone on the Dems side & helped 'liberals' vote for hiim.

Well, the Tea Party had the advantage that it was adopted and co-opted quickly by the right wing noise machine and heavily funded by right wing billionaire donors, led by the Kochs. The Tea Party was classic astroturf movement after its first few weeks.
