What does "Come Get Your People" mean?
I had to Google that question as I struggled to understand the NYT op-ed, "White Women, Come Get Your People," by Alexis Grenell. The phrase "come get your people" does not appear in the text of the column, only in the headline. There's a subheadline, "They will defend their privilege to the death." I guess "They" is the white women, not "your people."...
"Democrats will never be pulled down so low that we hate folk. We can’t hate Republicans. We need each other as Americans."
"We’ve got to lead with love. You can’t lead the people if you don’t love the people – all the people."Said Cory Booker, quoted in "Booker: 'We are not defined by a president who does not believe women'" (The Hill). I clicked through to that because the quote in the headline disturbed me a bit. As a woman, I felt otherized! It's weird to speak of "believing...
"My son was born in 2002. I didn’t have an office job, so I was around a lot to get high and enjoy the cartoons."
"I opened a packet of Reefer’s peanut butter cups at his preschool fund-raiser and stunk up the place. But pot wasn’t just an occasional funny thing for me to do on weekends. I got stoned the day my son came home from the hospital and stayed that way, with few breaks, for a decade and a half.... In March of 2017, my mother died. The hour before she...
"Advise and consent" or "advice and consent"?
Which is it? I'm hearing "advice and consent" — the nouns — but I write "advise and consent" — the verbs. I prefer the sound of "the Senate's advise-and-consent role" (which I wrote here and here). Kavanaugh, testifying, told the Senators, "You have replaced ‘advice...
"Physical assault definitely violates most society's [sic] idea of a moral order, which perhaps explains why aggression plays some kind of role in most humor."
"Freud theorized that humor serves as a way to dissipate sexual or aggressive tension in a socially acceptable way. Thomas Hobbes argues in the Leviathan that laughter arises from feeling superior, and that it's an extension of a feeling of 'sudden glory' arising from recognizing someone else's comparative defect or weakness.... The brain gets its...
SNL's "Lindsey Graham" says: "Let's keep this horny male energy going 'til the midterms!"
The cold open shows GOP Senators celebrating their Kavanaugh victory in sports-locker-room style and "Chuck Schumer" weakly whining over the Democrats defeat and then getting punched in the balls by "Joe Manchin":You can watch the whole sketch if you scroll back to the beginning,...

Dasom deals with Leeteuk and Tak Jae Hoon
"Because of my allergies, I could no longer have pets. I wish I had someone...""How about raising us two?""Can I neuter you guys, then?"-Pann: Dasom deals with Leeteuk and Tak Jae Hoon1. [+210, -3] There's also this one. They asked Bona to do the "oppa-ya" aegyo and Bona said,...
"The crowd in front of the U.S. Supreme Court is tiny, looks like about 200 people (& most are onlookers)..."
"... that wouldn’t even fill the first couple of rows of our Kansas Rally, or any of our Rallies for that matter! The Fake News Media tries to make it look sooo big, & it’s not!"Trump tweets.Also at Twitter, I'm seeing Jordan Peterson promoting (but not necessarily endorsing) the idea that Kavanaugh, confirmed, should step down. Responding to him...
"We need to legalize this plant, this life-saving plant.... It's medicine, natural medicine, and the old 2 parties want to throw you in jail for using it. Vote Libertarian...."
From the Marijuana Harvest Festival on the UW Library Mall today. The video ends abruptly when one of the men on the stage calls out to me, "Ann!" I put the lens cap on the camera.Actually, the camera continues to run, so I had audio of my reacting to getting run into by a man in an electric wheelchair, who came up behind me, ran into my foot, and...
