Yeah. It’s annoying. It’s like “look, no one likes the idea of changing a diaper, or for that matter cleaning up after their pets, but someone’s gotta do it. That’s your baby boy/girl, and they can’t do it themselves yet. Man the hell up and scoop that poop”.

For some reason, the fact that they were recruiters/senior members is more dispiriting than anything else. A totally anonymous sex cult is one thing. A cult that has an A-list star like Tom Cruise, even if you don’t like him, is one thing. But a sex cult that claims it can lift you to success, and backs that claim up…

My genuine reaction every time I’m confronted with the fact Melania is FLOTUS:

No offense, but your dad is a wimp. And you can tell him that I said so. Hell, one of my babies vomited into my open mouth. Even at the time, it was more funny than gross.

My dad refused and refuses to change a diaper. A diaper. Not a nuclear bomb.

Good for her. Now if we can only convince women not to work with Woody Allen and Roman Polanski, maybe those two creeps can fade from public consciousness.

Fuck yes. This is courageous.

I am not a great follower of religion, but I was raised in the church. And those 14 years of trauma were enough to make me side eye this comparison like, “Did you SERIOUSLY just compare yourself to the Holy Family?”

If you read the Vigilant Citizen article about it

Tom and Jerry is one thing, but even a cursory dive into videos that are being algorithmically served to children finds stuff like this.

Uh, also can you call it an apology if he never, not once said he was sorry but did find a way to talk about how admired he is twice?

I don’t get the PRAISE for this apology that I am seeing here, there and everywhere on social media. CK issued a good apology because he was already outed, after years of gaslighting the public about these “ridiculous!!!!” claims and maybe blacklisting a woman comedian who said they were true? Fuck all that noise.…

I was just reminded that Christopher Plummer is the only Chris worth fawning over.

English teacher moment: “hurtling,” not “hurdling.” Unless the plane was leaping over fixed barriers, which would use up all the little paper bags.

This whole “This is not who I am” thing put forward by so many of these creeps is making me blind with rage. By definition, if you engaged in this behavior, it IS WHO YOU FUCKING ARE!

That’s exactly the house I grew up in! Ah, so many memories of blasting through that swinging door at full 10-year-old speed and getting yelled at...

How can people with open plan even have dinner parties? All the dirty dishes are sitting there staring you in the face and some lame-o is sure to offer to start washing them, and then insisting, and then your glamorous party becomes a hootenany of chores instead of the Algonquin Round Table like you’d hoped.

Yessss. I love big closed kitchens. I love to bake and cook and it’s my own little escape and sometimes I like to “let the dishes soak” which is code for I just wanna eat these muffins on the couch. But I can’t do that if my couch is in the same room as the dining room and the kitchen where I can see my soaking pans…

I’ve tried this off and on and it’s extremely depressing to realize that even $600 blouses at Nordstrom are made in China. They just have bigger profit margins. And while I’ve heard that there are factories in China (for example) that adhere to fair labor laws, I’m pretty fucking skeptical.
