Right, my reaction was “So, this piece is about lynching someone on a boat?” If you’re using a slip knot for nautical purposes you are probably going to die on that boat - either by self-hanging or something becoming unsecured.

I think the subtext - that it was these meddling local politicians with all of their abusive follow-up questions such as “where”“when” and “how” - is really disturbing. My guess is that when Amazon updated their cost models to factor in how much property value and available space changed since they started looking it…

I don’t think they told the “judges” who the singers are explicitly, but they did instruct them to give intentionally bad guesses, especially if they did figure it out. Mel B is an intentionally bad guess because her whole appeal as a singer is that her speaking voice and her singing voice have the exact same tone and…

As a person who is allergic to whey (not lactose intolerant), the dirty secret is that many products, especially dark chocolate, have whey or casein or milk by-products without being labeled as containing milk.

Studies suggest that 4/5 callous children grow out of it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was actually closer to out of those five children, 2 were just traumatized children all along, 1 came to the logical conclusion that they’re just not that into violence, 1 learned how to cover their tracks.

I read a really interesting essay once that was supposedly by a diagnosed psychopath who argued that the best way to teach a child psychopath is to focus on teaching logical morality instead of trying to make the child “normal.” They can’t be taught to have normal emotions, but they can be taught consequence and come…

There also is a huge difference between “welcoming” and “accepting” which is very troubling considering their history of gay conversion therapy. Yes, Hillsong“welcomes” everyone, in an effort to save them and “cure” their “sins.” Their “cure” for divorce is encouraging them to marry a member of the church. Their…

It isn’t from a consumer spending side, but it is when were talking specifically people like TI and SB who give Gucci free brand impressions.

Right, I said the same thing. It makes people feel better to picture a “Sleeping Beauty” situation. Not something more on par with a nonverbal toddler trapped in woman’s body, unable to move or speak or scream.

The family has said again and again that the victim is not in a vegetative state, she is extremely mentally and physically disabled. The linked article identifies her as unable to walk or talk, but she is awake and as aware as someone could be under those circumstances. I think people want to believe this was a…

Nancy Pelosi is just bitter because our district finally realized Joe Crowley had done nothing except suck up to Nancy for 20 years.

I think there’s a reason why it’s hard to buy your way into the music industry. Not because there’s a lack of executives with children who want to be famous, but because music industry executives do everything they can to avoid being in a room with someone who can afford their own lawyer.

I always say this. Charlotte Russe would do so much better if they started stealing from Torrid’s pie. 

Taylor Swift’s parents get unfairly characterized as “stage parents” sometimes and I’m like, no. They’re the opposite of stage parents. They are Finance people who fucking terrify the hustlers, creeps, and thieves in the music industry by holding them to the same standards as any business. It’s true that Taylor…

So that’s the thing. Tulsi has a valid case that she was brainwashed and groomed for conservative politics in a way that could really resonate with people and differentiate herself from other liberals who could be accused of equivocating or hypocrisy when faced with similar pull quotes. The unspoken part as of now…

Ironically, the department probably would have an easier time firing him for taking care of personal business during work hours than they would if he had decided to kill the couple when they got upset.

Actually, no. You would think that but you actually don’t need to change a thing except making her journal entries blog posts and changing the letters she writes to everyone into emails/texts/DMs.

One night while drunk I rewrote the 7th episode of My So-Called Life as a Gen Z epistolary novella called #WhyJordanCantTweet and it was extremely easy. Like “I don’t know why no one ever did this?” easy. Much easier than most 90s stuff to lift directly because Angela writes in a journal and letters as a literary…

I guessed that the recipe was probably processed premade on processed premade, but what made it gross was that she put it on high instead of low (or even just starting at warm if you precooked the meat as you should have).

It’s extra redic because a major reason her raps are so interesting is that she is an expert at code-switching between standard American English, AAVE, Dominican Spanish, New York Spanglish, and Bronx colloquialisms and borrowing grammar from all of them. If she had a degree they would call sociolinguistics.
