That couple vandalizing the BLM street mural are revolting, and it genuinely fills me with anger when confronted with their blithe hatefulness... and, yet, I couldn’t stop laughing that the woman diligently painted within the lines of the original B & L.  There was some serious nuance to their ignorance.

“Violates Trumps own ethics policy.”

How was her tone in any way opaque? No one uses “good ole boys club” in a positive way. I know enough women veterans to realize that you get desensitized to sexual harassment in the army. Not in a way that makes you unsympathetic to victims, but in a way where your tone is casual/defeated/empty when talking about that…

Damn, “taken out of context” is used so much by bullshitters I read the headline and automatically assumed that was the case. 

I’m trying to understand how your lack of bathing suit didn’t result in you being inundated with offers of a loaner. According to my experience, you should have been offered at least four, and you would not have been at all grateful for those offers. Just the opposite, in fact, but your manners would require you to…

I was departing my life as a bar rat in Pittsburgh to try to start over in a volunteer program in the deep south. In previous years, the neighbors and us had thrown very large parties with many people and beverages and drugs and speaker systems. This time around, I just told my friends this: I have purchased a 30-pack…

As I was returning to the road, a few carloads of concerned passersby began stopping to see whether we needed help.

This is actually a messy 1st of July (Canada Day) story from back in my youth. A buddy and I drove up to a lake/beach area to meet up with friends and spend the day doing the usual summer weekend stuff (a fair amount of beer was involved, with all empties going into the trunk of my buddy’s car - more on that later).…

I got close to black out (if only) hammered while staying at my family’s lake house by like 6 p.m. I ended up offering beer to some 13 year old sister of a family friend (she declined). Then I was smoking on a row boat, decided to stand up, fell in the water and lost my favorite sunglasses. I was literally sent to bed…

Let me start off by saying my ex is a moron.

I’m from Philly. I guess Mummers are the public drunkenness version of VP.

It’s at an intersection of Wicker Man and “Rihanna’s Met Ball Costume” that, until this moment, I didn’t even know existed.

I think you can make Radley work. Your friends probably call you Rad, and I can think of much worse things to be called than that. You gotta be careful with dropping that first letter though. No kid wants to grow up with the name Tephen.

Just FYI everyone she is not the first nor will she be the last white woman to pick up someone else’s baby, play with them for a while, and kick them out of the house when they are done.

nothing about kim kardashian’s life, or really any of their lives, inspires any envy in me. they seem boring and sad and too self-involved to actually be fun.

It’s hard to believe she had much regret about the rehoming when, at the time, she apparently carried on making her dopey videos about Bedtime Routines! or We Wore Silly Hats! or whatever pablum she produced. Where’s the humility? How are you holding yourself up as a cutesy, aspirational mommyblogger to emulate when…

Florist here - the vast majority, if not all of the plants in that video are cut, not living. This appears to be an installation purely for this video, or something that she replaces with frequency. Most of it is painted, very little of it will last. There’s a metaphor in there somewhere...

Seriously....you cool with the wife/hubby getting some strange every now and again? Have at it. Ain’t a big deal to me.

Yeah - for some reason I thought they’d confirmed long ago that they had an open marriage and had side relationships and that was part of what sustained them. My guess is they probably do, but also don’t want the particulars splashed around and most of their partners have that understanding.

I read it more as “big boobs but with some visible arm muscles”
