Senators, please get OUT of my uterus so my friend Brynn, who is almost finished with nursing school, can get in there STAT. My body doesn’t need to produce a child just because it can. Focus on other ways to ruin the country, and let Brynn and the internet give me Life of a Showgirl takes while deciding if I inhaled enough Drano to warrant an urgent-care run.

Can you jerks do all that? No. So leave me, the internet, and Brynn to our work.

I am a grown woman, and I reserve the right to feel anything, google it for several hours, send Brynn a text that says “lol help,” and receive the gold standard of compassionate medical advice. Brynn just took a final on this sort of patient care. Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe has never taken a final because he did not go to college.

On October 16th, Lewisham’s Labour-led council granted planning permission to begin the redevelopment of Lewisham Shopping Centre, marking a decisive shift for the borough’s future.

Documents released by a federal court provide new and disturbing details of Trump associates’ attempt to orchestrate a coup against a government they clearly did not understand. This is an unprecedented look at the players and their plots – from terrorism to false flags – that may inform the looming US military assault on Venezuela. The man the government blames for it all, Jordan Goudreau, provided evidence to The Grayzone that: He signed a $221 million contract with Venezuela’s Juan […]

I love my job. I make a great salary, there’s a clear path to promotion, and a never-ending supply of cold brew in the office. And even though my job requires me to commit sociopathic acts of evil that directly contribute to making the world a measurably worse place from Monday through Friday, five days a week, from morning to night, outside work, I’m actually a really good person.

Let me give you an example. Last quarter, I led a team of engineers on an initiative to grow my company’s artificial intelligence data centers, which use millions of gallons of water per day. My work with AI is exponentially accelerating the destruction of the planet, but once a month, I go camping to reconnect with my own humanity through nature. I also bike to and from the office, which definitely offsets all the other environmental destruction I work tirelessly to enact from sunup to sundown for an exorbitant salary. Check out this social media post of me biking up a mountain. See? This is who I really am.

This couple is horrible.

“Trump introduced a new idea to tackle home affordability: a 50-year mortgage loan. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte called the proposal “a complete game changer.” … but many housing experts warn the plan could backfire, raising the cost of homeownership by stretching out payments, adding more interest over time, and driving up home prices.” — CNN

Q: What is a 100-year mortgage loan?
A: We offer the flexibility of financing your new home over an entire century, theoretically lowering your payments as the loan is spread out over a longer period of time.

Q: Who is this loan for?
A: Everyone. But especially immortal wizards and vampires; people who think “100” sounds like a nice round number; and us, your lender, who will be collecting interest on this loan until you turn to dust.

Q: Does this actually save me any money?
A: It absolutely might.
