My partner and I once went as Leon and Matilda for Halloween. I finished off a quart of milk and filled it with pre-mixed negroni cocktai to sneak it into a party as part of my costume. Boy howdy, I was so drunk I was speaking in tongues at the end of the night.

If your delicate sensibilities can't handle reading this, imagine how these prisoners feel. This SHOULD shock you, and maybe that shock will motivate you to action against it.

This is the New McCarthyism, there's a different enemy now didn't you hear?

I live in a dry climate with water restrictions most of the warm months, so a traditional lawn is not a great option. Will probably end up going with pea gravel or breeze, I don't mind it barefoot.

Love the idea of the living wall!

Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?

I never imagined how this would apply to images. Fascinating! I wonder what other art has a totally different tone to native RTL readers.

He didn't just rival the coke heads. Practically ran for president.

I think they're proposing personal time zones, where every individual's clock shows their precise solar time, and nobody ever manages to be on time to work ever again.

Does that actually factor in? Or do you just prefer the company of dogs? Seems like a pretty irrational fear if you ask me.

You are right, of course. There are things we can't condone. But you realize that by saying it you sound exactly like the "all lives matter" response to BLM: technically correct, but oblivious to the context in which the original statement arises. When we say Palestinian lives matter, we aren't saying Israeli lives don't. We're saying that you have forgotten that Palestinian lives even matter at all.

Not really. You would still need to, you know, build drones or automated factories to actually perform the salvaging. But the point is that nobody DID, because capitalism values profit over human life. Nobody who "matters" is interested in solving that problem.

Alcohol, R-rated movies, a driver's license... Plenty of things aren't suitable for children, so we don't give them to children. Children shouldn't be exposed to heterosexual erotica either. Do you want to ban that? Didn't think so. How about, you know, take some personal responsibility as a parent for what your child should or should not see?
