The whole lab leak thing is a moot point, a red herring, and/or complete waste of resources. I can’t believe people would waste breath on it, let alone anything else, when there are still so many glaring issues with vaccine equity, roll out, access, OR ANY OTHER lessons learned after the pandemic response. Who cares Read more

Wherever it started, the way it was handled by Western Nations and selfish idiots who can’t even be bothered the tiniest bit to try to prevent it’s spread was fucking pathetic.   That’s the FAR bigger issue. Read more

This is in no way surprising to me. If you don’t think Stewart is born from the same neo-liberal primordial ooze that Maher spawned out of, then you might be from that puddle too. Read more

People want this to be a lab leak because it’s a lot easier to cope with the idea that “if China just had tighter lab security none of this would have happened” than it is to cope with the idea that pandemics are going to pop up every once in a while, and it is painfully obvious that we are totally unprepared in all Read more

Thank you, Ashley! This lab leak is bullshit. It’s like people learned nothing from the invasion of Iraq. Read more

Liberals and conservatives alike are hankering after a new Cold War so goddamn badly they can taste it, huh? Literally zero evidence out there in favor of the lab leak theory, but the neatest little turn in the “just asking questions” framing is that the lack of evidence becomes, in itself, evidence — after all, who Read more

I have a pair of t-shirt dresses from Amazon I bought in a desperate desire for thin comfortable dresses with pockets I can wear to walk my dog when it is super hot and humid out. But at 5'10"and a ~ size 18/20 lady, I do find that they’re going to expose the shorts I wear underneath, especially in the back. My butt Read more

That’s one of the problems with being kind of tall but not crazy tall and not skinny but also straddling the line between straight and plus sizes depending on how much elastic is in the damn thing and having massive tits to boot: Buying clothes is a gauntlet. Read more

As someone who is almost 5'10 and has boobs and a butt I am always envious of people that kind find mini skirts, shorts and quarter-length sleeves that hit them at the right length. I like the idea of wearing some shorty-shorts under dresses/skirts so I may have to try that this summer! Can you do an article next on Read more

I’m a similar size and 5'9" and it’s a constant struggle! Read more

Say what you will about Macron and Trudeau, they wear a good suit, as we Olds used to say. Read more

Boris looks like he’s been taking standing lesson from Trump. He’s got that “Grandpa is standing for the shot but take it quick or he is gonna fall over” vibe.  Read more

I started listening to Dry Cleaning on Bagel Radio on SomaFM when someone commented that their wife hated them. For whatever reason that intrigued me and I’m glad because both of their EPs and the new album are excellent. Florence comes up with so many great turns-of-phrase it’s hard to keep up and harder to pick a Read more

Best album so far of 2021. Great sound, great lyrics and just a tight, strong band. Can’t get enough of it.

I want to embrace being geriatric millennial and crap on Sour but it’s awesome.   Read more

I’m sorry, I would listen to these songs, but I recently got married to the new Sharon Van Etten/Angel Olsen track and don’t want to be unfaithful.
