No, the Egyptians were the first ones to use the marshmallow root, to soothe sore throats, but the confection “marshmallows” were not first created until the mid 19th century.

I know I’m supposed to stop wishing cancer on people but when Mary here gets cancer I am going to be a little satisfied.

His kids will have bankrupted whatever shell company they spun up for this whole grift.

Why does everyone compare this to rape… it’s just having masked men thrust onto you without consent --oh right I see it now

Roberts is fascinating, he really truly believes he can escape with an intact legacy while simultaneously overseeing the final destruction of the functional democracy that was the US. It kind of speaks to the mentality deep down, they don’t really understand the finality and monumentality of their actions, and where it’s going to lead us. But his legacy is secure: one of the most destructive men who was ever a part of our Republic.

Remember Kodak too but it’s not their fault someone else took digital photography and actually did something with it.

The call came from inside the house!

Tired of these headlines, it’s been years and years. Rawstory.com is just ragebait for liberals.

My boss burst in one day to tell me these were in the wood chips outside my work. I went out and sure enough, they were there, but so much smaller than I expected - I’d have missed them.

I’ve fantasized about doing something like this but putting in a nonprofit, foundation-based system run by a board of mental health workers, that was designed to actually bring people together. It may still happen. I don’t have the high barrier to entry it takes to start a social network so I’m starting from the other end and doing community organizing instead. Power to the real people offline, who aren’t trying to make a profit off our need for human connection.

Folks who work in social justice will know the acronym “POC” but “p. of c.” I don’t usually encounter.

Are we sure it’s not “prince of caspian?”

And there’s every chance they’ll continue to steal power, steal the elections, maintain control of the most powerfully diminishing country on Earth. So it doesn’t matter how much of the world hates them, at least to those of us trapped under them. The patients are running the asylum, they’ve shot the guards, and life goes on.

Wouldn’t the more a accurate headline be “Fetterman is the only pro-Iran-War senator to claim to be a democrat?”

In before everyone trashes IQ for being racist and pointless.

And I’m not saying it isn’t ethnocentric and a bit arbitrary. But walk around a Mensa meeting and you’ll see things in common.

Mostly that everyone is really socially inept if not outright problematic.

But 90% liberal, yeah.

I thought there were multiple confirmations on that

Nothing about the % of Americans who think trans people should be able to play HS sports on their new gender.

Because that’s like 45%.

Or who think trans youth should have access to gender affirming care, which is similarly low.

And those are the issues that the GOP is hammering, because they know it.

We have to get the spotlight off these issues we got ahead of public perception and there is a cost for that - a whole generation of trans people denied rights (I am less interested in sports than I am gender affirming care, which is hugely important for trans youth).

You can see trans folks realizing this… like 1/2 of the plaintiffs for the sports case that made it to SCOTUS thought the suit should be dropped before it got that far, because they realized it was going to go the wrong way.

It’s time to be more strategic until/if the GOP gets out of power, so we stop kneecapping ourselves.

Expect a tidal wave of “I can’t believe the Democrats did this to me” as that unfolds.

We saw what he’ll do during the Obama ape post. Blame a few staffers, not by name. Then say he’s not sorry and move on. I doubt the upset Christians will remember this or care in a week, two weeks.

Our last real election is in our rear-view mirror. People keep talking about the next president, the next Dem, I don’t think it’s a reality. We saw what he did the first time around - instigating a mob to storm the capitol. I don’t think this time he’ll be conceding, and I doubt he’ll let himself get into a position where conceding is even on the table. It’ll just a patchwork mess of states with fucked up elections, and it’ll be too much to reset in a couple of months before inauguration.

Can you imagine how furious conservatives would be living in peace for 1,000 years? No defense contractors to feed, no dark money politics, no wars of aggression or looting natural resources. They’d never make it.
