Did you ever read Susan Faludi’s Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women? She outlines the original plot and how it was changed to make Asshat some sort of hero victim and basically how it was the worst.

OMG you guys are killing me here. I imagine you all high-fiving and butt-slapping each other around the office. Even if you probably all work from home in your pajamas.

Yep. I’ve been texting quotes to my sister all morning. I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!

Not to steal Julianne’s thunder, but hop on over to the Toast to read Roxane Gay’s review of Magic Mike XXL. It’s a delight.

Me too, I love her and hope she has a happy life forever.

Yes, Summer School co-starring Mark Harmon. Only thing.

I'm sure he passed away - I mean, I remember that he did, but don't recall when I heard that he had. In the mid- or late-90s I think.

My favorite regular from my serving days was Mr. Bartle. Never a fuss, tipped well, knew our names and always asked how my college studies were going. When he took a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Galapagos Islands (in his mid-70s), on his return he came in one afternoon when he knew it would be slow to show us his…

Back when I used to wait tables, I always used my french twist or gibson roll up-do to store pens, and often woke up to random pen drawings on my pillow.

It is sad, because that would have been a great juxtaposition - distant ancestor was slave owner, mom is civil rights activist. Ben Affleck messing with my Finding Your Roots makes me mad. “Turn the page, Mr. Affleck. Please turn the page.”*

I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw that.

Could we (someone with skills, not me) create a Tumblr or other site where store employees could anonymously post the code words that different stores use to identify suspected shoplifters through racist profiling, like Zara’s “Special Order” code? Then our Black and Latino friends could turn to the over eager sales…

Bang plenty; partnered since my late 20s; happily monogamous.

Or the defense could have used a peremptory strike to get him off the jury. Each side gets a set number of peremptory (no-cause-needed) strikes.

8 1/2 hours - that will last me a week! Purchased - thanks.

If I had my 20s to live over, I would totally do this. I wouldn’t need to be on a show either. Hands up, 40s ladies who wish they’d banged more.

Do you think it would work well as an audio book? I’ve got a long commute and have found that non-fiction/memoir works best to keep me entertained when my podcasts run out. I loved Nothing to Envy.

WWDTM has PJ O’Rourke as a panelist on the regular, and he’s a libertarian asshat. I’d rather have all the Kardashian sisters than him.

Yoga pants have a flared leg, leggings have a pegged/narrow leg. That’s just, like, the rules of feminism.

I see those blond weave braids on a white girl and I think “damn, I’m going to have make some vegan thing for the potluck and come home smelling like patchouli.”
