That’s because the jokes aren’t inspired by the need to communicate and connect, like those of actual good comedians. They’re inspired by the need to troll their imagined enemies.

It’s always interesting to watch conservatives attempt humor. The references are almost always hilariously out of date, the attempts at self-deprecation are usually painfully forced, and it comes across like they decided to improv the first take and then felt it was comedy gold that couldn’t be topped. It’s like…

I grew up in a county in Alabama which had/has the most churches per capital in the state. I was a fundamentalist evangelical Christian as a teen, surely a tedious bore even to my religious classmates, and a general pain in the ass to everyone around me. I policed the actions of my entire family, and my only friends…

Being infested with an unwanted parasite IS an emergency.

unborn child

She was blackout drunk at my bachelorette party this weekend. It was too far for her to Uber home or even to a hotel and not safe for her to drive. I walked away from the yelling several times but that meant other friends were running interference, so I would come back to check on them. It was indeed exhausting for…

How about Team The Person Who Did Not Post Pictures of the Other Person’s Genitals Without Consent?

I’m just so tired of this gross performative dysfunction and have been since Jerry Springer distilled it in the 90s.

Caitlyn is the only reason Scott Disick isn’t the most repellant member of that family.

Liberals can’t even shoot straight.

Yes, it sucks that women’s clothing is so fraught, but this is about Trump’s hypocrisy in slamming Michelle Obama for not wearing a headscarf and crickets when his wife doesn’t.

Nobody cares about Melania’s decision. It’s, once again, Trump’s dumbshit hypocrisy.

I understand wanting to excoriate Trump for hypocrisy and I am no fan of any Trump, but I also feel like there were no good options for Ivanka and Melania on the headscarf issue. It’s unfair that women’s clothing is so damned fraught and political. Damned if they wore headscarves, damned if they didn’t. I’ll give…

Good for him. However, there should have never been a need for him to do this in the first place.

It amazes me to still see any young people smoking these days. I always find it odd that people will pay money to kill their own selves.

This whole piece, and especially that quote, really struck a chord with me. I grew up in a working class family and attended an elementary school in a predominately black and Latino neighborhood in Los Angeles. I earned a scholarship for all four years to a prestigious, private all girls high school. During my time…

It’s pretty crazy which hills people are willing to go die on. I went to a Hillary rally with my parents a month back or so, and there were about 3 dozen protesters. Most we’re fine and generally respectful, but there was one 50-something white dude who had a clearly hand-made sign that read “Bill Clinton is a Rapist”…

i actually kind of know her. we’ve never met(or even talked) but our fathers know each other. beyond racism, i just cant understand allowing my name to be attached to something so polarizing. the ego it takes to allow your name to be attached to this for the rest of your life is beyond comprehension to me. every job…

Gay men can be incredibly misogynistic, but straight women often treat them like little accessories. Talking about a gay privilege in this context seems disingenuous unless you're referring to the way gay cis voices dominate the LGBT discussion.
