It’s horrifying to think of the fear he must have felt in his last moments.

Yay! I am so happy whenever there’s an article that prompts people to post photos of their adorable dogs.  

Because most* people on the right know they’ll be excoriated for personal attacks on a child, they pretend that what they’re actually criticizing are the parents and liberals who are exploiting/brainwashing/using a defenseless child who can’t think for herself. (In a way, it reminds me of how, after Christine Blasey…

I just googled “Barron peek-a-boo” after reading your post and saw the video. It’s the only time I’ve seen Barron smiling, and he looks so delighted by the baby. It made me feel so sad for him.

I wish I could give this 100 stars.

I’m dying.  Your posts are always amazing.

This is unbelievably heartbreaking.  

We have a cat (who is both wonderful and kind of an asshole), but my daughter, who loves all animals, has been begging for a small dog for years. I love dogs and keep getting close to saying yes, but I think I’d feel guilty — because the dog would be home alone for so much of the day while we’re at school or work. So…

It makes me genuinely happy when people respond to a pet-related post by posting photos of their own pets. Your dogs are adorable. 

I’m Asian-American and my daughter’s father is of Scottish descent, and I was (and still am) often assumed to be her nanny.

I love so much that Nancy Pelosi (as someone pointed out on Twitter) is literally wearing a pair of orange balls as a necklace.

I could never articulate exactly what bothered me so much about Pence’s face in these situations.  (I can, however, articulate what bothers me about everything else about him.)  Your description is perfect -- especially the “default power saving neutral face.”

That is weirdly accurate
