Maybe it’s because Sinema is just another political opportunist with no moral centre who cares only about herself.

If you’re still patting yourself on the back because you brought your wife ice chips while she was in labor, this native Mexican birthing technique is going to put things in perspective real quick. The Huichol people, descendants of the ancient Aztecs, have a pain relieving ritual (for the one giving birth, anyway) where the woman gets to yank h…[Read more]

I like your thinking, @nvwino! That and mammograms. 😀

You know, @ohiobarbarian, I generally respect and appreciate your posts and replies, but you’re totally off base on this one. Yes, there are some extremely important issues that were not — and probably never will be — addressed by the likes of Gavin Newsom and his neoliberal cronies. But these laws are not trivial and are definitely not…[Read more]

I’ve seen the term “fraudit” used in a few places. If this continues, it might make the 2021 OED word of the year shortlist.

Do you recall a TV show called “Without a Trace”? It followed an FBI unit that investigated missing persons cases. There was one episode where two young children disappear at the same time — one white, one black. As the FBI team goes about its work, they notice and comment on the extensive news coverage on the white child vs the nonexistent…[Read more]

Nope. Not the Onion. I think this falls into the “truth is stranger than fiction” category.

Watch his hand. He looks like he’s conducting an orchestra.

As they say, if you lie down with dogs….

Hmmm. Pete Davidson vs all THAT?! I’d say you have a fightin’ chance after all. Good luck, and may the best man win the hand of the lovely Miss Cuoco.

I hadn’t realized Linsey Stirling was so short! I’ve seen a few of her videos — very impressive. As for your “strange” shows, yeah, my 70-yo sister watches Stargirl and is still obsessed…[Read more]

Love it! My new favourite description of the dems.

Great article, but I have one quibble: the statement that “This is a ridiculous attempt to rewrite history …  and risks the possibility that they will make the same mistake again in the future.” This is neither a mistake nor simply a possibility. It is intentional and it will happen again and…[Read more]

I don’t know why he’d be stunned — she’s been pretty consistently pro-war. At least she tries to distinguish between the religion of Islam and the politicized version of the religion, though the point seems to have been missed by the hosts.

On a side note, this is the first time I’ve watched the new Rising. OMG. These have to be two of the most…[Read more]

@MistaP

That was hilarious. If it were in black and white, it wouldn’t be too different from the scary educational videos they showed in my elementary school.

@chknltl

LOL. Well, that’s an interesting adventure you had there. As for Kaley Cuoco, it looks like she might not be quite as single as you’d hoped. Rumour has it she’s “close to” Pete Davidson — a person whose celebrity completely baffles me, TBH. So maybe you still have a chance.

I actually met Kim Basinger once. She was really friendly and…[Read more]

OMG. They look like they’re watching the Hunger Games and just realized they bet on the wrong player.
