    Fringe thinking is neither benign nor malignant. It is, among other things, the exploration of ideas that are not generally accepted or even apparent to the majority. If you visualize a bell curve,...

    The majority of voters voted for Hillary Clinton for president, and yet … I have read between 22 and 26 states plan to ban or plan to ban/severely restrict access to abortions. Voters elected...

    Define “evil”. My very existence is “evil” to a fairly significant fraction of society. According to them, I deserve the death penalty for being alive. Needless to say, I find all the...

    Highly unlikely that right-wing sources would cover it. That would undermine their push to minimize women’s concerns over the fall-out. Centrist to left-leaning outlets don’t much care about those...

    Glad there’s video … those sites really are pretty hair-on-fire slanted. Still … with states not only banning abortion but trying to criminalize travel out of state and going after out of state...

    Natural selection at work. Let it take its course. Sadly, the vulnerable innocent will fall, too. That’s how it works. I gotta wonder how the families of people dying of preventable contagion...

    I’ll betcha she thought you were a girl. “You’re so angry” is a very common accusation when women fail at being nice and agreeable. Then she either remembered or found out that you’re a guy...

    Stick to testicle tanning … TMB never needed me to speak for him. When I agree with him, I get to say so. You’re just not happy dealing with the same answers you give everyone else. ETA: very...
