Yes, the Republicans control the Senate and this is Trump's nominee, but they have six women serving as senators, and how could any woman not be moved by the testimony of Dr Christine Blasey Ford? How could the senators not feel a stronger solidarity with their gender than their party?

| Most heavy arms out of planned Syria buffer zone: monitor Posted: 09 Oct 2018 02:15 AM PDT  Jihadists and Turkish-backed rebels have withdrawn most heavy weapons from territory around Syria's last major opposition stronghold ahead of a Wednesday deadline, a monitor said. The weapons pullback is the first major test of a truce deal brokered by government-backed Russia and rebel-backer Turkey last month to avoid what the United Nations warned would be the appalling humanitarian consequences of a major government offensive. Under the agreement, all rebel groups have a Wednesday deadline to withdraw all their heavy weaponry from a 15- to 20-kilometre (nine- to 12-mile) buffer zone along the front line in Idlib province and adjacent areas of the northwest.

| Thank you r/relationships for giving me the drama fix I crave Posted: 09 Oct 2018 02:14 PM PDT  This is Ode To... , a weekly column where we share the stuff we're really into in hopes that you'll be really into it, too. Who doesn't love internet drama? I, for one, live for it. Watching someone get ratio'd on Twitter fills me with glee. If someone posts screenshots, I'll meticulously go through every shred of each snarky text. When I scroll past an argument on Facebook, I can't help but dive into the thread and digest every single comment. SEE ALSO: Staten Harry is the internet's cutest lip-sync star Lurking around internet drama satisfies me more than any Hulu original ever could. When I need to get away from the real world, I turn to vitriolic threads for entertainment. On especially rough days, when I finally tire of bingeing beloved trash shows like Gossip Girl, I venture into the crème de la crème of drama: Reddit's r/relationships. Everyone on r/relationships has a bone to pick: no matter how stable you think your relationship is, it wouldn't stand a chance against this subreddit. Some posters genuinely want advice, from asking for support through grief to admitting to a drug problem to a partner. But if you're looking for the messiest of messy, sort r/relationships by controversial and buckle up. Sure, your partner might forget to wash the dishes, or they may play too much Fortnite. But at least they aren't nearly as bad as the OPs of r/relationship's controversial tab. Here are just a few gems from these insecure, overbearing dumpster fires. Exhibit A: The man who feels insecure about his girlfriend's height. Sorry your girlfriend is too good for you, pal! Sometimes you can joyfully watch an OP get torn to shreds in the comments, like this woman who won't stand up against her hateful family. She even goes as far as dismissing their blatant racism as being "very conservative." Hard yikes, right? There are examples that make you want to scream, "Get out!! Get out now!" One woman's boyfriend, feels threatened that all of his partner's family members are male. It's bizarre how deep-set his insecurity runs. Apparently, he's worried that OP has been "masculinized due to being raised by a dad," and that by spending time with her family, she'll be "masculinized even more." What does that even mean? The subreddit's infamy has even crossed over to Twitter, where accounts like @redditships screenshot and tweet hilariously unfortunate posts. Me [19F] with my boyfriend [19M] of 1 year, how can I make him stop using twitch memes in every day conversation? pic.twitter.com/1ek46xQ971 — relationships.txt (@redditships) September 25, 2018 How to break it to my large headed (23F) girlfriend that I don't want her wearing my (30M) t-shirts anymore because she stretches out the head-hole. pic.twitter.com/ELDLkomuj4 — relationships.txt (@redditships) October 9, 2018 It was even a short lived meme. /r/relationships In vain I [28M] have struggled. It will not do. I told her [20F] I love her, most ardently, and she rejects me.

Should I kidnap her and take her to my underground candlelit lair? — ✍️ (@neonacropolis) July 23, 2018 Let's just take a moment to appreciate r/relationships for blessing us with clueless, horrifying, and endlessly entertaining stories of the internet's worst romantic partners.

| 7 of the best steam cleaners for carpets, couches, and beyond Posted: 08 Oct 2018 02:00 AM PDT  Keeping a house clean isn't an easy task. Pesky allergens, dirt, and germs thrive around your home and they don't go away easily. Furry friends are also culprits for dirty rooms, because they bring back grime, mud, and pollen after playing outdoors. Plus, kitchen counters could be a hotbed for bacteria, especially if you cook with eggs, dairy, or meat. If your living spaces are constantly dirty, add a steam cleaner to your cleaning arsenal. Steam cleaners can be game changers for messy homes. Unlike brooms and vacuums, steam cleaners use steam to dry, clean, and disinfect home surfaces. They'll tackle stubborn stains in carpets, floors, and upholstery that aren't typically removable on the surface. And they do all the dirty work for you, so you can keep your rooms clean with minimal effort. SEE ALSO: 7 of the best Dyson vacuums that will (hopefully) make all your cleaning dreams come true With all the steam cleaners out there, it can be hard to find the right fit. Before you drop major bucks on a steam cleaner, there are a few things you might want to consider. Size: Make sure the appliance is fit for the task. You don't want to buy a steam cleaner that's too big or too small to get the job done. If you have a large home, opt for a steam cleaner that can clean multiple surfaces. On the other hand, if you have a tiny apartment, a handheld steam cleaner might be best to tackle spills, stains, and messes. Household surfaces: Where will you use your steam cleaner? Consider your household surfaces that need constant cleaning. There are steam cleaners specifically made for carpets, floors, upholstery, and other surfaces for stress-free cleaning. Cleaning features: Not all steam cleaners are created the same. Some steam cleaners only remove stains, while others only sanitize spaces. If a steam cleaner has both capabilities, that's even better for convenience and quality. Ease of use: Steam cleaners are supposed to be convenient. If a steam cleaner is too complicated to use, skip it and see your other options. You'll want to choose a model that comes with easy setup and maintenance, so you won't have to invest more time for handling tough messes. Warranty: Steam cleaners don't come cheap, so read up on their warranty policies before making a purchasing decision. A warranty can be a major plus if your steam cleaner stops working properly. Not all steam cleaners include warranties though, so consider how much you'll be spending on maintenance if this is the case. Whether you need help removing stains, sanitizing spaces, or deodorizing rooms, there's a steam cleaner out there for your cleaning needs. Here are our top seven picks for the best steam cleaners.

| Suu Kyi promises 'transparency' over Rohingya atrocities Posted: 08 Oct 2018 03:50 AM PDT  Embattled leader Aung San Suu Kyi vowed Monday to increase transparency over her government's handling of the Rohingya crisis while pitching for foreign investment in Myanmar ahead of a regional summit in Tokyo. Suu Kyi, once garlanded as a global rights champion, has seen a sharp fall from grace due to her failure to speak up following a brutal military crackdown on Myanmar's Rohingya minority. "I'm ready to acknowledge that we have challenges to face particularly with regard to the Rakhine and with the struggles we have on the peace front," Suu Kyi said in a speech before Japanese businessmen, referring to Myanmar's westernmost state where the minority dwelled.
