Yeah, he'll never rise above this (and he shouldn't!), but if I were on his management team I would at least try to help him save his career and legacy.

See, that's what I don't get. Have he and his team not been paying attention to anything for the last three decades? Haven't they noticed that people will fall all over themselves to forgive a celebrity (especially one people really want to love because of his association to their childhoods), if they make some big…

Our training meeting is tonight, so I'll post as soon as I find out. I know a lot of people who freeze their cookies and eat them year 'round, so go deep! :)

I'll know for sure tomorrow night after Cookie Mom training, but I expect there are fixed shipping rates— I'll let you know what I find out!

Between this, a woman being murdered for standing up to harassers, an entertainer being smacked by some random asshole because he didn't like her dress, and the lady on NPR this morning whose bag o' dicks husband openly threatens violence to her (and unnamed kindergartners) on FB and calls it "artistic license," I'm…

I don't fault the action itself, because Beth's resentment of Dawn must have been growing more and more unbearable— her constant rewriting of reality, self-justifications— but I do think the immediate cause was unforgivably weak.

Thanks! I'll post a link as soon as they have one for us— if nowhere else, at least in reply to whomever indicates interest in this thread.

Thanks! I am not sure shameless commerce is permitted here, but hey, if people need their cookie fix, I am not going to deny them. Cookie Mom training is tomorrow night, so I'll get the official timeline, then. In the past, the official cookie sales season has started on January 1st.

I am Cookie Mom for my kid's troop again this year. I swear to God the entire combined armed forces of the United States could not execute a more labyrinthine ground operation than Operation Cookie, and GSUSA does it every year. It's impressive.

I'm guessing a gig at Fox News awaits her, and she pulled the apology so that she can maintain her asshole cred over there.

I would have preferred Beth to have killed Dawn, as well, but I also think the stakes should have been a bit higher. I mean, I get that Beth didn't want Noah to go back and that he would have been mistreated, but there was a certain symmetry to him sacrificing himself for Beth after she helped him get out in the first…

I see they're handing out tin ears with badges, these days.

Maybe you didn't intend your post to come off as badly as it does, but it really does. Not only in a NotAllSerbians way, but in your palpable relief that the attacker was "no true Serbian" (see: "no true Scotsman").

Mark, can you confirm that this cat is, in fact, alive? Did you see her breathing? Because the way her face is planted in that bed makes me think we may have a "Weekend at Bernie's" situation, here.

This is now my favorite gif of all time.

It would help if those who benefit from white privilege would stop telling others to "just get over it" in reference to the systemic racism that is twice as old as the country itself.

The wrong time = when there are witnesses.

Naps. Take lots of naps. Preferably with earplugs.

Just my two cents, because I am not in their shoes, but to view a riot as an attempt to change the system is probably not accurate. These are acts of helpless rage.

This country feels more racist and more sexist to me now than it did when I was growing up 20 years ago, and that was during the time of Rodney King!
