started my christmas list!!!

1) a stable sense of self
2) a normal sleep schedule
3) the will to live (productively)
4) a not shit brain
5) to feel like people actually care about me

“Nobody ever used their tax dollars to help me!” says local man who drives on roads, gets his trash collected, has clean water, sends his kids to school, utilizes the police and fire departments, walks his dog in the park, receives mail, and also possess no sense of self reflection.

the faster you learn to say ‘this is hideous, i love it’ about an item of clothing and genuinely mean it, the faster no one can take away your happiness about your clothes because they can be like ‘what the fuck are you wearing’ and the only answer you can give is a gleeful ‘i KNOW isn’t it HIDEOUS!’

I wasn’t kidding in my tags on this post. If you have Central Division loyalties, drop them. Please. I myself would love to see Jamie Benn captain another team, even if it is just for silly ol’ All-Star Game, and it’d be cool to see Patrik Laine captain the Central as well, being as young as he is, because of course. But week one or no, second after front-runner is always the best shot to beat the front-runner. You get to vote daily, 10 ballots per day. Even if you vote for no one else, or you “couldn’t care less” about All-Star Weekend and don’t plan on watching, VOTE PK SUBBAN.

a pretty standard arrangement for engagement rings. a raised stone is better than nothing. 3/10

a lovely, simple, elegant wedding band. a classic anybody would be pleased to get married with. useless in a fight. 0/10

huge. tacky. kinda pretty tho. but look at that raised diamond in the center. you could easily break someone’s tooth with this. 7/10

also huge and tacky. at first glance you’d think the rounded edge might not cause much damage but look at how those rows of diamonds are raised in the second view. you could really rip up someone’s face. 9/10

this one is almost elegant. no sharp edges, but it’s solidly built. you would cause more damage with the ring on than off, which is a solid basis for choosing an engagement ring. 5/10

a lovely design, i enjoy open filigree. however im not sure how said filigree would stand up to the impact of being slammed into someone’s face. 2/10

the twisting design is pretty, but im not entirely sure that socking someone in the jaw wouldnt break off those stones. it looks somewhat reinforced but do you really want to leave the Punching Power of  your engagement ring up to chance? i wouldnt. two raised stones tho. 6/10, pending experimentation

HAHAHAHA holy shit. thats Five raised stones, with reinforced prongs, for maximum damage at any angle. i highly recommend this ring both for its sapphire centerpiece and its capacity for causing pain. 10/10

there’s not even a stone, its just gold which aint exactly the hardest metal in the world. just fucking stay home if you’re not going to take this seriously.

*jeweler voice*

That filigree you gave 2/10? much sturdier than the filigree tacky rings… Trust me. Those are super hollow and light on the settings so that they aren’t too heavy or expensive. (and so they don’t roll on your finger)

Also worth noting:

White gold = sturdier than yellow gold (which is why most prongs are in white)

Now, if you want a ring that’ll hold up to socking someone in the nose, may I suggest 10kt white gold (hardest of gold options, sturdier than silver, and more reasonable than platinum)

See how thick all that metal is? It’s not going to cave in on you.

And you can do this with it:

Because nothing says punching a nazi in the nose like a diamond/sapphire/ruby encrusted Captain America ring…

read this again but imagine its Peggy Carter picking her engagement ring

yes. good.

Trump

Having provoked China by chatting with the president of Taiwan on the phone, Trump has taken to needling them on Twitter. Saints preserve us.

Ivanka and Jared are moving to DC. Still not elected or appointed officials. Still illegal for them to hold government positions.

Transition Team & Cabinet Appointees

Ben Carson has some weird ideas about housing and segregation. He also admitted that Trump promised him a job… which is illegal.

Voting

At least one Texas elector will not vote for Trump.

Michigan’s new voter suppression bill “has a provision tucked into it that would make it impossible to repeal via a popular referendum.” Charming. New laws are being pushed in Texas and New Hampshire as well.

The Michigan recount is on… immediately. Hope they had plenty of volunteers ready and waiting.

The Supreme Court is hearing gerrymandering cases from North Carolina and Virginia today.

…the Supreme Court has generally tolerated legislative maps that are drawn to advantage one party or the other, while simultaneously treating racial gerrymanders with much greater skepticism. As a result, North Carolina’s brief defending its maps is an odd spectacle. It openly admits that the consultant hired by Republican lawmakers to draw the states congressional maps was instructed “to draw maps that were more favorable to Republican candidates.” And brags that “Republicans turned a 7–6 Democratic advantage” in the state’s congressional delegation “into a 9–4 Republican advantage” with the maps at issue in McCrory. The state, and its attorneys, apparently believe that the Court is so unconcerned about partisan gerrymanders that litigants can safely make such admissions in their briefs.

Protests

Energy Transfer Partners says they plan to continue building the DAPL

and calls the Native American owners of the land “a narrow and extreme political constituency.”

General Fascist Nonsense

Washington Post reporters were threatened after posting the story about the pizzeria shooting in DC
