Kind of amazing how quickly CBS Sunday Morning went from a regular part of my household's weekend routine, to a program I won't even consider watching anymore.

their relationship began when she started cheating on her second husband with sean. he told his priest he wanted to marry his mistress, priest said no way, so he left the church. but sure. “faith and family” as the foundation. 👍

You need an editor because this isn't true.

The Hard Hat Riot is the single most important and consequential independently organized labor action in post-Gilded Age American history but the entire left-of-center has deliberately chosen to completely forget it because of how utterly embarrassing it is to us

The driving force of fascism in modern times is men still mad at their mom for making them clean their room.

The median price for a square foot in Jamaica Plain is almost $650 dollars.

lightbulb: this is the political / infrastructural equivalent of complaining about homeless people with smartphones
