Worst: The small contractor who was racist, sexist, classist, an asshole and a cheap bastard, to boot. I’m 100% certain he contributed to his assistant’s deadly stroke.

Got into Shrill last night and had to stop myself after ep 5 b/c it was midnight. There are only 6 episodes so I’ll have something to look forward to while I slowly die of boredom during my son’s Cub Scout meeting tonight.

I realize that without them, Jezebel might not stay afloat but GODDAMN! Every other post is a “Kinja Deal” or “sponsored post”. So much visual clutter and scrolling.

For those not familiar, this was last December and the story was that Jacquelyn went to hand money to a woman when some guy/accomplice came out of nowhere and stabbed her to death in her car. I’m sure you can imagine how that affected the local homeless population, not to mention the resources the BPD put into finding…

I’m going to be 40 this year but nothing has made me feel my age quite like this:

I’m open to recommendations (note: I’m personally not into “Hostel” levels of gore, prefer true crime and ghost stuff). Assume I’ve seen most of the big name stuff like The Exorcist and The…

I’ve got some awkward work stories but either this job really is situated on a hellmouth or they need to get some cameras in to record a for real “The Office” because it’s A LOT.

I just recently binged the podcast (which was fantastic) and now Bravo has dropped the trailer for their limited series:

So... someone that I am kind of close to (A) is dating someone (B). By all accounts and first-hand interactions, B is a legit super nice, wonderful human being. Like, in every way, B is good people.
