I totally apologized to my diary for neglecting it, and would often open entries by asking my diary how it’s doing, all conversation-like. “Dear Diary, how are you doing today? My day has been CRAZY. Let me tell you about it...” The diary is a friend, a witness. Apologizing is just a thing and you have to accept it.

The fact that you still have this Very Official Document delights me.

And it’s not like the Man didn’t freak out over The Beatles, and Elvis, and *pearl clutch* jazz. It’s the prerogative of the young to reject the culture of their elders and make their own.

I’ve never heard of Yachty until this article, but I’m all for him, because now I know the term “old heads” and I adore it and will forever associate it with him. /also old, not for me, etc., happy to let the kids have their fun

Very true. Thank you for the reminder. That makes me feel better.

The only justification I can think of is that DNA testing actually takes quite a while. It’s not like they can zip a cheek swab off to the lab and have results back in an hour. It takes weeks.

That said, it hurts my heart to think they’re going to kill bears who may not be THE BEAR just in case. :(

Your description of bear curiosity translated to human terror is the same with sharks. Toddlers of the sea! They put things in their mouth to learn about them!

Couple things here:

The girl who lives in the capsule collection photo has the kind of personal space I can only dream about. Exercise space AND a seating area? In her room?!!!? What are they, Kennedys?

Also, y’all can yuk it up, but if I could buy a legit breathable couch (and a mattress, too, because dreams), I would…

There’s nothing to be grained by sifting for even a kernel of scandal here.

My kids loved Thomas. Insta-saved!

My son had surgery for an undescended testicle at the ripe old age of 1. That feels fairly sex-specific.

Check up on the history of the United States. Immigrants, including Italians, Irish, Polish, and others, had to “earn” their status of whiteness. They were not initially accepted as such by the established white Protestant population. Italians (as well as Greeks, Spaniards, and other Mediterranean peoples) can have a…

Holy tone deaf. This tops a friend-of-a-friend who gleefully posted a selfie just before a U2 concert, held on a Sunday, we all attended with the caption “It’s Sunday Bloody Sunday!!!”

Time and place, people. Time. And. Place.

I think he just out “Let them eat cake”ed Marie Antoinette.

Ron Swanson is on the Kinja?!?

Renée would like to be considered for the post of undermayor of snuggly blankets. She would also be aces at the department of transportation, testing every vehicle for rideability.

Thanks. You’re not the only one who didn’t know. I spent the weekend up north with friends. One said, “Have you guys donated to Ossoff?” I was like, um, no, I’m donating to and working on our race in SC, and she was all, “WHAAAAT?!? I had no idea!” Thanks, DNC.

That’s certainly another slice of the poop pie. But I know lots of people from elsewhere who donated to Ossoff, and weren’t even aware there were other special elections taking place. It would’ve been nice to spread the love ($$$) around a bit.

Or they preemptively write off a race as unwinnable. Rep. Jim Clyburn, our sole congressional Democrat from SC, gave his annual $100k dues to the DCCC to Archie Parnell’s campaign instead. They need to get their heads out of their asses. When you look at the numbers, many these traditionally red states and districts…

Gotta say, I’m a little cheesed that GA6 got all this attention and money, while none was given to SC5. With virtually no support from the national party, Archie Parnell lost his bid 51%-48%. Imagine what he could have done with even a little of the focus given to Ossoff. We need a 50-state strategy. Now. Every…
