@SalK It’s either make up new words or redefine the ones we have. Hey, something new for people to argue about! Cool!

@SalK Sometimes males use “gals” but it’s usually ironic, e.g. implying straying from the group’s focus. Historically gender neutral has always been male terms; I read about some fuss over recent use of “Latinx” being awkward, “Latino” has always been the gender neutral, so it’s not just US.

Here’s an opinion piece on it:

@SalK Can be. In the same way “guys” can refer to a general group of people.

@WeThePeople He should be afraid to go onstage because he’s Howie Mandel.

The compassion of the barbarian.

So the court is mad about the “egregious” violation of privacy in the leak of Alito’s draft about the court’s plan to revoke the privacy rights of all the women in the country.

@JHippie Fortunately, that too will pass (the feeling like an idiot part: been there, done that)

@JHippie Oh, I think that would be big news. Fortunately he’s still at it. This new track is particularly apropos.

@SalK Even spoiled milk knows better than to deliberately shit its oants.

Really.

@Cronfest

@rokkinbobokkin Agree, their record so far is underwhelming at best. Then again, one would think being anti-death-cult would have more traction.

@HubertTemba Yes, them too.

We worked hard locally and successfully brought in quite a few new young Dem voters in 2018. We need to increase that, now more than ever.
