Nonsense. Melania knows how to raise children. After all, the greatest principle in Melania’s life is that she may not harm, nor allow by inaction to come to harm, a human being. The second-greatest principle in Melania’s life is that she must obey all orders given to her by a human being, unless such orders would…

FANPERSONS: Comic book movies don’t need to be callous, effects-laden spectacles made in a factory to print money for the studios! They can be artistic! They can be dramas, with as much to say about the human condition as any Oscar bait film! They should be considered seriously in the cultural conversation!

How lucky her motorcycle crashed during the golden hour.

A lot of it could be overcompensation for not having a girl/mini-me to get mani/pedis with or dress in matching outfits with. Gender disappointment is real!

You forgot to add, consumer culture and the obligatory accoutrement to go with your identifier and hashtag. Off to Etsy for cutesy matching t-shirts for the whole family, etc.

It’s times like this I’m glad that the doctor’s put down the wrong gender on the birth certificate for me. As a trans man, yes, it took years to pick through the psychological hurts and walls developed by being forced into a ‘girl’s role’ growing up in the deep south (like... A) gendered roles suck anyway, and B)…

“I think of as the unfortunate spawn of Guy Fieri fucking a school bus.” Dude:

Every time this discussion happens, the superb WaPo article is mentioned, and like clockwork there is a subset of commenters who think their brains are just simply wired better that the rest of us.

Agreed. She just took professional organizing to the masses. Most people can’t afford to hire a professional organizer but lots of people have access to the internet. Kondo’s detractors are just mad they didn’t think of it first.

As much as I hate to say it, this looks like a set up. We all know that Alex Jones only gets hard when the kids are dead.

Just to point out, planes don’t necessarily fly in a straight line from point A to Point B. Here’s an actual Denver-St. Louis flight path I grabbed off Flight Aware. It makes Iowa seem not outside the realm of possibility.

Although this gun culture arose out of Nixon’s “War on Blacks” I’ve decided it’s come to the current levels of absurdity because we now have two generations of people who didn’t serve in the military. Like, my gun nut relatives are all reasonable gun nuts (ie no more guns than needed for the number of hands you have;…

I have had multiple traffic stops where the cop came to my door with gun in hand. This is what cops do. What the law says is not relevant to them or to judges/juries.

I think this is an important part of the story that is not in this article:

It’s worth reminding that birds are not only descendants of dinosaurs, but cladistically dinosaurs themselves. It goes with the territory. 

i was expecting this

So while I could clumsily out-dodge one bandit, a whole horde of them proved too much for me and my axe, which—I realized while getting beaten within an inch of my life—was forged to chop down trees, not people.

I think a visit to a professional to talk about an inferiority complex that makes one bad restaurant visit with a NYC friend turn into an existential crisis is in order. You had one bad experience. Get over it. If it happens again don’t go back. Its just a restaurant and sushi is plentiful.

But did you love it as much as Glenn Close did? That’s the look she gave all those Dalmatians.
