It’s a tragic wank.

I like the idea of the four legged pants on the left, but with suspenders that cross over the dog’s spine like a basket handle. This seems like the most complicated version of dog pants, which is necessary to create a lot of cute Puppy Pants Problems gifs. That’s all that really matters here.

Well it really depends on the dog.

That still amazes me—when I first read about it, I thought someone was making a joke. There is a local coffee store that puts a sign in their window announcing when they get a shipment of those beans in. When I see it a little tiny part of me dies. I share the earth with people who willingly make their coffee from…

Actually actually I totally made that up... I’d be willing to sell you one for ten bucks, though!

Funny story - rotten maraschino cherries are actually a delicious delicacy.

It does, actually. It’s like a very squeaky, very quiet fart.

If a hipster fakes their artisanal product and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

I think Italian American is the furthest from “Anglo-Saxon” that Reagan and his ilk would allow themselves to go.

Agreed. And yay, another NOLA gal!

Someone in Hollywood is acting like a typically shitty person in Hollywood. More at 11:00.

“Brazil” is the best holiday movie ever, and that is an objective truth.

Winnie the Pooh did it better.

I think that sounds like precisely what this is. This girl is 18. Just...don’t take the nice things? Do you think the “we paid for x and she isn’t doing y” started with college money? I have parents like this mom, and I had a breakdown on my 9th birthday because I knew I only had 9 more years before I was an adult to…

Here’s the thing about gifts and strings. If someone gives me something and says I expect x in return, then I better provide x if I accept the gift. But if they give me something and just expect that I will provide something in return, then not only am I not obligated to do so, I might not even know the expectatin is…

This letter writer is giving me strong flavors of my mom. The martyrdom, using money/gifts as control. The question of “should a young adult text their mom back” isn’t really my takeaway here, it’s that a well - adjusted person would not have written this letter.

I think a lifetime of cat ownership has well prepared me for an ill spouse:

And when they hang around the house they hang around the house.

I love you Australia. You have some very attractive men, some reasonably good wine but....your whole country is just a big bag of nope.
