Can someone send me their recipe for anthropomorphic gingerbread men? Martha Stewart’s recipe is a dud.

yes
The Internet was a mistake. Literacy was a mistake. The whole species needs to seriously consider going back into the water.

And I haven't even read whatever it is you all are talking about.

the key to happiness is living each day in hope, as though IT may happen at any moment
But you imagine where you might be, eventually, when you learn IT has HAPPENED.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Yet again we’re being warned that if we ask billionaires to pay their fair share of tax they might leave. So it’s definitely worth trying.
