I don’t feel like being a mother is something so holy that people can’t compare other nurturing relationships to it, or that they have to qualify that nurturing relationship by adding “-figure” to it.

I hope it means Jane is a Native American, because otherwise, her sarcasm is unbecoming.

He’s singing the third verse of the kid’s song that starts: “Where is Thumbkin? Where is Thumbkin? Here I am! Here I am!”

Oh, I have some guesses about which Kaiser facility you were at. But I’ll keep them to myself.

I lived for two years in a tiny, tiny town in a rural county where you had a choice between two gynecologists: both older men who were active members of their celibacy-promoting churches. If anything, they were less approachable for a non-virgin single woman than the previous sentence suggests. I wonder how many of…

Two, really.

Who are these women who constantly reject short guys? I had a number of short male friends in high school and college, and they were highly sought after and NEVER single. And by short, I’m talking 5 foot 6 or under.

Maybe after she’s done “right-sizing” America the rest of us can move to Canada?

It almost looks like she tripped him to make better footage for her to shoot. I guess that would be the “Nightcrawler” defense.

Earthman’s Burden taught me all I need to know about tropes and subverting them. Plus: Teddy bear aliens, come on!

I cannot believe this fucker is not only leading the Republican polls, but beating Hillary Clinton by 5 points in the head-to-heads. America, WTF? You are not casting a reality show.

You have to be able to tolerate a bit of the old ultraviolence. But I agree with LaComtesse: What sets Peaky Blinders apart is its consciousness of class (and race, as Gypsies and Jews were definitely Not White at this point). And AUNT POLLY is my spirit animal.

Arthur? I'm a little worried about the Comte.

A McDonalds manager weighed in elsewhere in the topic to say s/he absolutely reports even minor injuries, so it may in fact be another case of the lone asshole at work.

Somehow the McDonald’s story makes me the angriest. Most of the stories involve a single asshole gone rogue, but that one sounds like corporate policy.

But seriously, I am so fucking done with Nanda Parbat. If we spend more than 15 minutes there this season, I'm Hulking out.

Survives both “They Live” and “The Toxic Avenger” tests, too. It’s canon!

As a genuine white person, I hereby give Jezebel permission to use the term “whitey.” That’s how it works, right? If one person from the group concerned is OK with you using it, you get to use it?

Heretical Christian sects took this very literally and delayed baptism as long as possible so they would do as little sinning between it and death as possible.

What the actual fuck?
