The last picture just makes my heart hurt. That sweet happy dog smile, full of love and adoration and looking like a real-life Dug (from the movie Up) — I just want to hug that dog forever. I am sorry for your loss.

I loved this guy! And you are exactly right. Although Herbert’s face is kind of adorable, and Chet Haze’s face is just objectionable.

I’ve had a very stressful few days, and all these articles are awful, but these GIFs made me laugh so much.

About half the girls in my high school had that exact hair style (except even poofier on top). I went to high school in the middle of nowhere, in the late 1980s. (I am old.) There was no excuse for that hair then, and no excuse for it now.

Agreed. Except that I’ve recently learned that it’s actually spelled “kneck.”

That was seriously the most disturbing part of the story to me. I mean, the loogie thing is horrific and gross, but everyone suspects that this is a thing that happens. And the fact that DNA testing was done on this incident, while the rape kit backlog stretches from here to the moon, is pretty demoralizing. But…

I disagree with this. The Bleecker stop is in the Village; it is not in Soho, which is below Houston St.

Me too. On another post today, I saw that someone posted a GIF of Kate Upton walking all bouncily. And I thought, not for the first time, that must be the weirdest and most distracting feeling — to have these things bouncing around on your chest. I just could not relate.

If it were up to me, I’d give you a whole pile of stones and set you up in front of their house with a slingshot and a catapult.

I agree. I knew almost nothing about her before I read the book (a friend lent it to me to read on a long flight — I figured it would be a mindless but diverting read), but I came away being extremely impressed with her. Her life has had amazing highs and horrible lows, and she’s fully aware of how damaged and flawed…

The ghostwriter for Janice Dickinson’s autobiography (No Lifeguard on Duty), which was published more than 10 years ago, has verified that she wanted to include the Bill Cosby rape in her book but was talked out of doing so.

This isn’t exactly on point, but I drafted amicus briefing in some gay-marriage cases that were going through one state’s appellate courts several years back, and it was crazy how many of the anti-gay-marriage arguments were exactly the same arguments that were used to defend anti-miscegenation laws back in the day.…

I am friendly with Louis through our kids, and he has been exceedingly kind and funny in every interaction I’ve ever had with him.

I’m just going to shut my office door and watch this GIF all day.

I get your point (and it is definitely responsive to NonServiam’s post). But of course the bigger issue isn’t that nail salons workers have to do gross work — it’s that they are getting paid basically nothing, while suffering terrible health problems from toxic fumes, acrylic dust, etc. People who work in dangerous…

Me too. I really, genuinely think that would make everything better.

This deserves 100+ stars.

I know this is totally not the point of this thread, but you have an excellent way with words. I’m going to be trying very hard for the next couple of days to find an occasion to say “fart pod.”

Your son sounds so cute, and this is heartbreaking.

I love what Amandla Stenberg tweeted, and I love the quote she highlighted, but this:
