Should have gone with the Jeff Winger defense instead

Sounds about right. God forbid Jen spend 2.5 seconds not dating, engaged or linked to a man. We’d all think she was lonely pathetic spinster! I find it fascinating that her brand is basically the exact opposite of Tracee Ellis Ross’ who was never married and rarely ever publicly linked to anyone and is pretty much…

That and Shade Court. The Golden Age.

Bobby Finger was peak Dirt Bag (and Midweek Madness).

I have generally found the following to work for me. Your mileage may vary:

“Simply put,” one woman said, “I’m sick of being perceived.”
That last part is too real.

Woof, I am surprised by the John Mulaney divorce - especially as the Page Six article makes it seem like it was a surprise to Anna.

John Oliver is a national treasure.  Yes, we have stolen him from the UK and he is ours.  

A lot of people wait for the kids to turn 18. It seems like kind of an arbitrary number, but I imagine in a divorce proceeding not having to deal with custody, child support, any of that is a big deal.

Or maybe it’s because the youngest kid hit 18.

Apropos of nothing:

Telling children who to hug is big issue for me. A couple I love dearly are always telling their kids to hug Auntie/Uncle So&So goodbye, and when it comes to me I always tell them they don’t have to.

The whole “It was just over the clothes! And a couple incidents under the clothes but what’s the big deal?” made me ill. And of course at the same time the girls are being told that somehow they led their own brother “into sin” by existing and being female.

As parents, what you did was show your daughters that some abuse is okay and the abuser’s feelings and life journey and the harmony of the family unit are more important than you and your trauma. A little bit of abuse being okay basically preps them for a lifetime of abuse. Because it’s always going to be “a little…

One casualty of my office-working days was a super snarky article from the Economist about the advice of “Great Men” like Cook, Gates, Jobs, Bezos, etc. I loved it so much that I laminated it and put it on my individual fridge in the hopes that my clueless agency head would read it and see himself. (He never did…

I was sort of hoping that link to Kirsten Larson’s Midsummer outfit would lead to a blindingly white peasant dress, a flower crown and a boyfriend stitched into a bear.

It actively didn’t make sense to me that the MCU waited 11 years to release a female helmed movie. Not only was it confusing that Black Widow didn’t get a solo film (and got weirdly left out of the merch for The Avengers if I recall), but movie audiences were primed for big budget young adult content with female…

My goodness, that opening scene with Ayo and Bucky had me from the start. She’s so good! And him initially fighting back tears in fear of becoming the killing machine again only to realize he’s free and cry out of joy hit so well!

My husband died suddenly some 20 years ago. I imagine that the un-snap would be like my dreams, years later.
In those dreams I’m thrilled that he’s alive again, but there are so many questions (and I didn’t even remarry):
- How am I going to explain that his job is gone?
- How do I tell him I sold the car he had so…
