I'm in grad school right now at a pretty big university (so that probably narrows it down to 2 or 3 places, so much for secrecy, hah) so there are of course tons of out of state students and from late fall on you see tons of facebook statuses with screenshots of the weather forecast and sunny beach pictures and all of…

I wonder what LD's stance on causally racist dogs is.

Yeah, same. I bring him up when it is actually relevant to what's going on or if it's actually a really good story.

I guess it depends on the dog and the kid. My dog, while the best dog ever, doesn't do much amusing (he's old and he's small) while my kindergarten aged nephew has been telling people that Jesus lives on the side of the freeway ever since his step-uncle told him that Jesus lives in the big church just off of the I-5.

Heck yeah, down here in SoCal it's our huge triumph. The midwest getting hit by blizzards? Fuck yeah, it's been almost 70 this entire week!

Everything in moderation... children, dogs, SO's. I don't mind hearing about any of it as long as it isn't for hours.

My 47 year old mom who is, okay comparatively young, but a grandma nonetheless can pretty comfortably operate and mess with both Macs and PCs while my 62 year old dad has never sat in front of a computer except maybe to watch a video/look at pictures at my mom's urging. My dad is seriously technophobic. He's based…

Yeah, Laura is probably the worst writer. I think Anna is the one with the most racist/privilege fuck ups.

I can't recall a Lindy science article, I think she wisely stays away from them. Anna and Laura usually do the science article and they're TERRIBLE at it.

Stories like these make me miss my two fourth grade boys in the sea fifth graders in my old after school enrichment class. That job was so stressful, but some kids are real treasures.

Yeah, I mean I hate Chris Brown but she was just as vile in that moment at least. Obviously Chris Brown is a worse human being in general though. I felt no need to take sides.

Ohhhh. Still mediocre.

I love Things Fall Apart you heathen! =P

So glad Jezebel at least is indirectly acknowledging Chinua Achebe today.

Her tweet isn't even remotely funny. All I gathered from it is that people who want to have sex with attractive musicians shouldn't be mothers? I'm assuming that was the joke.

Thirded

Dwight Eisenhower, president from 1952-1960 sent in the National Guard to desegregate schools. He was a Republican as well. The current "social values" of the Republican party do not go back very far. Hell, Richard Nixon, president from 68-72 created the Environmental Protection Agency.

Oooh Jezebel finally hit on my irrational issue. I do not care. I am going to eat loads of salt until the day I die and if that is of a heart attack tomorrow so be it.

It doesn't matter if it's "karmic" and it doesn't matter if she WANTS the attention. Being okay with this (whether sanctioned by her or not) is being okay with publicly tearing down a pregnant woman's appearance. And that's not right. And if she isn't sanctioning it it's even more sickening. Seriously guys, since when…

Eh, while you are almost definitely right I think the underlying point still stand though. She's a super wealthy woman with a website catered to other wealthy women. It doesn't add value to our society, but that goes for a lot of things. I just don't see the reason for the hate.
