Unlike pandas, life isn’t black and white, so we need to live in the gray. Sometimes that means accepting or forgiving people for not always being perfect.

Fair enough, but ...

None of them have a giraffe; dementia patients do confuse the camel for a giraffe and the rhino for a hippo.

A lot more patients who make the "hippo" error have MoCA scores suggesting this response indicates greater cognitive impairment.

Um, no fish, and he's only right about 1 out of the 3 animals that are there. (Do you suppose that, after the test, they give him some crayons so he can color them in?)

And the atheists are the immoral ones?

"The Rev. Franklin Graham on Wednesday told U.S. service members and Pentagon employees during a Christmas service that 'God loves' but also that 'God also hates.'"

Trump absolutely has been *accused* of wrongdoing related to Epstein and his sex trafficking operation. He may not have been proven guilty in a court of law, and he's busy cleaning the Epstein files to ensure that doesn't happen, but do not ever say he hasn't been (credibly) accused.

"In 2020, Ferreira returned to court, accusing her ex of not abiding by the parenting plan and claiming she was owed $70,000 in back support. She also asked for majority parenting time, saying she wanted their child to go to school in Cohasset, about an hour and a half drive away."

1) Mar-A-Lago? Are you kidding me?
2) You're not "inviting" one of the members?

The other countries should tell him they won't attend under these conditions.

This addresses a tax loophole that's not available to regular people. We need to ensure that everyone pays taxes on all money they receive, without them playing games about what qualifies as income (or even "money").

Trump breaks everything (not that I care about the "color of the year," but come on).

Try to imagine how scared you would be if you were 15 and the only way to escape these monsters was by trying to swim to another the island _two_miles_away_.

"Epstein and others..."
"Epstein and a search party..."

I want to know their names.

Remember when they said they were going after "the worst of the worst"? Does anyone feel safer knowing they took her off the streets?

Caregiving is hard, and it's only going to get harder as we have more people who need help, and fewer people who can provide it.

Tax the rich. Or eat them. At this point, either one works for me.

The best book reviews tell you why you want to read the book. The second best book reviews tell you why you definitely do not want to read the book. I wasn't inclined to read John Fetterman's anyway, but this confirms it would just have enraged me.

I usually try to find something snarky to say, but I just can't. Throw them in jail.

Oh, well, that makes selling out worthwhile. Just because your GOP buddies might have conspired to overthrow an election doesn't mean that they should be investigated for it.

Something to think about while you're waiting in line at the food bank, or splitting the prescription meds that you won't be able to afford next year.

A Biden law requires companies making $1 billion+ a year to pay at least 15% tax on earnings, but Trump said "No."

Apparently the New York Times is allowed to be snarky in a straight-news piece. So why can't you call out Trump, who also shouts and meanders, and mumbles and dozes and lies and grifts, now when he's *currently* in office? After all, which one is in a position to do more damage to the country now?
