I remember when Obama tried to normalize relations with Cuba and the possibility of the embargo being lifted and Guantánamo finally closing were close to reality. One can still dream, right?

I’m not queer (though I consider myself an ally) I will be buying a gun because my last name and skin tone goes against Fürer Orange ideal master race.

Can someone explain the disparity between Australia’s and New Zealand’s use of antibiotics in meat?

I see Costco as simply a place to buy groceries but I got to give them credit for not giving into culture war bullshit.

“I swear, officer, that I didn’t kill that judge. The fact that my search history indicates an interest in 3D printed guns, and I own the works of Karl Marx, AND I was wearing a free “Free Luigi” shirt doesn’t prove anything.”

Just 6? Surely Argentina’s already broken economy can not survive with so little tax revenue sources? I’m no economist but the only way I can see this even remotely working is if the rates of those 6 taxes are raised expectionally high.

“Unify Ireland”

I was born on a Dublin street…

Me, listening to nothing but metal and hardcore for the past 12 years: Fuck off, phone!

YO HO HO AND A CACHE OF TORRENTS!

I’ve never read The Handmaid’s Tale or seen its adaptation but I think I’ll pick it up after seeing these recent developments.

How long till she suffers an “unfortunate accident?”

Wait, the IDF is calling people out for their bullshit?

You do know that Israel has engaged in what’s called pinkwashing, right?

In 2006, when I was about 6 years, my mother, sadly, suffered a miscarriage. It devestated our family. This also marked a turning point in my life as my parents divorced not long after. It’s stories like these that make me wonder what would have happened to my dear mother after her miscarriage if the same fundamentalist theocrats were in power then. Would they have arrested her? Would she have died under the same atrocious conditions that Ms. Barnica had to suffer? What will happen to my wife if, goodness forbid, something similar happens to her? This story highlights why, five days from now, you MUST vote. We have make that incidents like these don’t repeat. Don’t just do it for your sake. Do it for the sake of those dearest and nearest to you.

The bigger question should be: why would anyone subscribe to Bezo’s paywalled garden in the first place?

Any of you remember Kitzmiller v. Dover? It was a case that essentially ruled that teaching ID/creationism was a theological doctrine and thus couldn’t be included in the biology curriculum of schools across the country. While the issues here at not the same (teaching creationsim vs mandatory bible studies), they have the same ideological underpinnings. Unless we’re talking about Sunday school*, schools must remain secular institutions where discussions of religions are from a neutral perspective in regards to the humanities. As to regards to a hypothetical Supreme Court case: considering how ultra-conservative the Supreme Court has become in recent years, I fear that they might side the theocrats.

*Are those still a thing?

Big Milk will not accept any threat to their cash cow! This is outrages!

So we honoring bigots now? What’s next, an Anders Breivik statue?

Not this shit again. This pseudo-scientific nonsense has been debunked numerous times already. You would think that this would be a dead conspiracy theory but here we are debating this once more. This is what happens when you have an scientifically illiterate population.
