This whole story was so blatantly ridiculous that I was surprised it wasn’t an email forward from my mother

Why are bears so cute if they want to eat us?

Add this to the “Christi is a huge asshole” file: we NJ state employees just learned that he sent a letter requesting that our July 4th federal holiday pay be revoked, since we were in the shutdown for that time. So we were stiffed for Monday’s pay, and Tuesday’s pay, while his bloated ass lay on the beach.

I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore).

I’m sorry, but Obama wore a tan suit to a press briefing. And at one point he put his feet on a desk.

I really miss Obama and how much dignity and grace he and Michelle had when they were insulted. Frankly, they had some horrific and awful things said about them.

Cool Cool Cool * reaches for xanax *

totally creeped out by this. i pushed out a human about 6 weeks ago, so technically i AM a mom, but that is NOT my name. No one has permission to call me that except my kiddo who doesn’t yet speak. My mother in law now only calls me ‘baby gimlet’s mommy’ and it drives me up the wall (and she always refers to me in…

You’re not the only one. I am a mom, but that’s certainly not all that I am, and it drives me crazy whenever a friend has a kid and suddenly that’s their entire identity. You used to be an awesome person with opinions about things other than kid-related topics, come the fuck on.

My little sister has bought into both this and the Beachbody cult. Every Facebook post is a picture of her holding my (adorable) nephew, with a caption about how hard it is to balance working and working out and being a MOM, but she does it all for her son. Nearly every post ends with “You got this, Mama!”. Luckily,…

OMG I hate this. I mean do whatever you want, I guess, but it’s very sad to me.

Not to alarm you, but Ascot hats are a British Class Designator.

I moved to a hat-wearing Euro country three years ago and at first, I made fun of the hats. Then, I got a pink hat as a “haha, look at how Euro I am” ironic wear at my first day at the races. Now I own multiple hats and can’t imagine going to a wedding without. Hats. Are. My. Thing. Now.

I wouldn’t call him confused so much as ignorant. He seems like the type to just coast through the trial barely paying attention and then just sticking with the opinion he had prior.

No doctor even bothered to ask me about my long, painful, next periods until I couldn’t get pregnant. Even the fertility specialist skipped right past it. But eventually my obgyn decided it was a possibility and got my laparoscopy approved. Yep, there it was. He cut out what he could, put me on drugs to go into a…

In a nutshell: here is an illustration of one of the biggest flaws of a trial by jury. Jurors are ordinary people. And ordinary people are imbeciles.

So what we’ve learned here is that this juror is ignorant about sexual assault, apparently didn’t actually listen to the evidence, had already made up his mind before entering the courtroom, and has watched enough episodes of Columbo to learn the phrase ‘smoking gun’. Go figure.

I hate when legal instructions sound too legal. Can’t they be written in hillbilly speak so I can laugh while I vote not guilty for my favorite TV rapist?

I thought The Girl on the Train was pretty awful and all of the reviews so far seem to indicate Into the Water is worse. If you like page turning thrillers, I highly recommend Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter.

Big Little Lies is terrific. Just started Into The Water and so far so good!
