I don't have a Vox membership, so I have to guess whether this is Vancouver BC, or Vancouver, WA. My guess is BC, is that correct?

My family eats raw rhubarb with salt on it, so that doesn't sound too bad to me 😄

My parents cook down a whole pumpkin for their pumpkin pie, so they are serious about it, but they will never live down the year that they forgot to add the sugar.

Ratfuckers are motherfuckers, but not all motherfuckers are ratfuckers. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Yeah, but it already has a specific meaning. "Ratfucking is an American slang term for behind the scenes (covert) political sabotage or dirty tricks, particularly pertaining to elections." -Wikipedia

Fortunately "fucker" works just fine!

She probably made a deal with Trump to resign if he agrees to appoint her to a cabinet position that's about to open up. Too bad she doesn't realize that Trump never keeps his promises.

Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%, OR = 3.393, p < 0.001).

There's a difference between thinking something is bad, and having sympathy. Absolutely I think it's bad and have sympathy for how his human rights are being violated, but no sympathy for the deportation. Do I think it's bad what is happening to James Comey and MTG? Yes, but I don't have sympathy.

Where the fuck did anybody say that? I don't think anyone deserves the treatment he's getting. It just rubs me the wrong way that a white convicted rapist is getting sympathy drummed up for him when thousands of POC are being treated just as badly, and no one is writing articles about all of them.

Yeah, I read the article. That is what his wife claims he told her. I don't give convicted rapists the benefit of the doubt.
November 17, 2025 at 9:10 PM
I agree.

The NYT is coming for you next, like they came for Portland's DSA council members. It's cartoonish how threatened the status quo is by socialism.

But yeah, he was convicted of raping a woman in 1972. His wife has excuses, which for me make it worse that he doesn't accept responsibility for his crime.

It just rubs me the wrong way that people are drumming up sympathy for this old white guy when there are plenty of non-criminals being deported who are POC who have been here just as long.
