Where's the Politics forum "Petri dish" thread? With no alternatives, I guess our future is going to be replete with heretofore preventable infectious disease outbreaks. I'm retired, and even I never saw a case of diphtheria or tetanus. Lord help us, because when this becomes the law of t...

If only there was an alternative to the banning of hormone-based contraceptives: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53719774929_02eb21b742_z.jpg Hmm, Mississippi happens (it appears anyway) to have the highest F:M ratio in the United States. Maybe some enterprising distaff Mississippians should, i...

Ousy's hook up could have been worse. https://twitter.com/Morbidful/status/1789612368625860737 Is she wearing his underwear over her face? So, for a time I lived (with a roommate, Rob, from South Dakota) in a condo near the U's West Bank campus. Rob would go home some weekends, where his parents wo...

Louisiana moves to make abortion pills ‘controlled dangerous substances’ Someone possessing the pills without a valid prescription or outside of professional practice could be prosecuted and sentenced to prison. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/05/13/abortion-pills-louisiana-controlled-su...

Serious question: Is it better to be an activist, or to be a protestor? Consider how those in power do really nothing to earn our votes, but are trying so doggedly to counter these protests. Trying to decide if that says something about where we should concentrate our political energy. Making absol...

The act and meaning behind it in good faith is very logical.

And believe me I'd rather not get nickeled and dimed for every cup, tube and bandage. But, take it to the Pols bored!

Not being scanned and treated like a product for insanely marked up services instead of a patient? I prefer the alternative but perhaps it's just me. I assume that there is significant benefit to me, to know what was done to me, and when, and by whom. Sure beats getting the wrong treatment or medic...

It is demeaning.

Seems better than the alternative.

Bob here is big mad . God damn it, Joe, why can't you get supporters of an insurrectionist to fall in line??? BIDEN FAILS Remember President Joe Biden’s claim that he was going to unify America? When does he plan on starting? More Biden lack of leadership on full display. This guy is a total disaste...

Did we know about this before we drafted this dude?

I am beginning to think he might not be in line for a second contract!

May 12, 2024 https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-12-2024 I write a lot about how the Biden-Harris administration is working to restore the principles of the period between 1933 and 1981, when members of both political parties widely shared the belief that the government should regulate ...

If one NFL stadium’s worth of people in five states take this approach this year, my daughters might have to register their periods with the government. This has to be wrong fish, because I heard there are no choices. more proof that there is no choice. One "option" is unelecteable piece ...

2coach continually misses the point. Of course we don't want trump....thats not what this was/is about.... I know, it's about whining about how you don't like your choices. Feel free to rewrite our entire voting system. I don't have any great ideas on how to fix the system without breaking it more ...

Pfft, facts.

With the HUGE caveat that we don't know any of these people - the available public evidence is that Hunter is in recovery, and Don Jr. isn't. Admittedly I don't keep up closely with these people or their drug use...But what available public evidence is there that Don Jr does drugs? Aware of the rum...

This is all why I wonder if these folks are ACTUALLY going to put material money forward. These aren't online pillow loon-magnates we're talking about here.

Of course the other hostage-taking going on here is “nice profits you’ve got there, would be a shame if (you didn’t pay my election cheating, classified document stealing, and insurrection inciting legal fees to keep something from happening to them).”

There's two sides to me ( IF he did assault someone ). Side 1: Do the right thing and cut this dude. He had a second chance and immediately blew it. He doesn't deserve another. Side 2: The NFL is cutthroat. A ton of guys on these teams are shit stains in society. There is 0 chance that Rice, if cut...
