THAT LAST LINE. I swear to god, the creepy shit toddlers say is a big reason I don’t think I want kids. 

Hard to get worse

“My phone has an advanced AI assistant. Does YOUR phone have an advanced AI assistant?”

All the bad asses in the avclub comment section TOTALLY would though. 

In the course of my life, I often find myself in rooms with, and being cordial with people who I deeply disagree with on things. I don’t constantly tell them to fuck off and punch them in the face.

About 12 years ago, my now ex-husband and I were just married and expecting a baby. We were looking for an affordable place to live in the Southern CA mountain town my parents lived in. We found this house on the part of the mountain that didn’t get much sunlight. Most of the houses around it were unoccupied for the…

Crying. And I’ve been where you were with two small children escaping that. I’m now in the most loving relationship and have a peaceful, happy life. I hope you have the same. 

This is by far— by FAR— the freakiest thing that has ever happened to me.

Back in the early 2000s I moved in with a now ex-boyfriend. He lived in a bungalow style house in one of the neighborhoods of a large midwestern city. This happened when I was taking a personal day from work after moving in to finish getting things arranged and unpacked.

My parents thought they were just going to have one chid-me. My mom had my brother the summer before I started fourth grade. I was *relatively* okay with this. My mom had a c-section, and her mom came to stay because my baby brother was freaking huge and my dad had to get back to work.

The family was one of the wealthier…

When I was about 22 one of my close friends, T, completed suicide. His housemate found him. None of us knew what he’d been going through. He was the life and soul. It was hard.

I was recently staying at a wellness resort retreat in the desert. I don’t want to say the name because it’s truly delightful, but it’s like one of those place where white women go to do yoga and eat organic food and get Ayurveda massages. They also have a lot of things there that would maybe be considered mysticism.…

This one has to be titled “Avoid the Noid,” right?

Bones makes precisely zero sense.

I was too late with my submission last year, so here goes...

I’m doxxing myself because my friends all know this story. I waited until daytime to write it because it scares me so much.

He’s one of the head writers, I don’t really know how much Jost had to do with it. Cecily Strong and Kate McKinnon love to play these white trash characters. The show has also done white trash sketches from just about the start.

I don’t know how many of you watch with closed captioning turned on, but whoever was at the keyboard was having real trouble keeping up with Weekend Update. The capper was when Yang’s Biao said “Tig ol’ bitties!” and the captions said... the other thing.
