I rode my bike through the park yesterday and saw a woman holding her nearly-grown child folded in half, shooting urine straight into the bike lane, which would have been charming if it’d been a marble fountain and not a 10-year-old.

Its not bad... but Pippa’s fiance’s long plan to wed her is scarier and creepier imo.

The reaction from this story from some Americans has been a mess. The comments in last few posts about Brazil has been awful. Brazil does have a lot of problems, but calling it “3rd world shithole” and other things is just awful.

Before and after Blake.

That’s an excellent point. Phelps scowling became a symbol of how focused and serious an athlete he is. But god forbid Gabby Douglas not smile all the fucking time. Ridiculous.

Yes! That video of Phelps scowling was deemed hilarious but when gabby doesn’t smile on cue it’s not okay?

Ummm. Wow, that guy is CUTE.

I’m 31 now, and I remember having a conversation with a college friend when we were both 25. She was like, “do you remember being a kid and thinking that 25 was SO OLD, and that you would DEFINITELY have all your shit together by then? Like, 100% solid career track, white picket fence house, dog, husband, etc.”

I’m finally on time for SNS and it’s the end of all things! I hope Jezebel doesn’t change too much. I’m a lurker but I have a secret, lurkey love for y’all.

Wow. Long time no see!

I see it as a literal twist - Simone Biles vaults into the air, twists, and kicks Queen Cersei in the head, knocking her unconscious. Cersei falls off the Iron Throne just before Biles lands in a sitting position atop the throne.

closure is a myth

Thank you for your very perceptive post. I know that when my mom died, if I hadn’t actually been with her and seen her dead body, I would have allowed myself to hope against hope that someone made a mistake and that she was still alive, and I would have spent years scanning for her everywhere I went. That’s how hard…

I haven’t been able to read it yet (on mobile, saving it until I have a bigger screen), but I think this sort of thing is very common when people aren’t able to have the closure of being able to locate and bury their loved ones. My experience is a little different, but I do wilderness SAR with a specialty as a cadaver…

Traditional Japanese custom also emphasizes the importance of proper care of the dead and funerary rites, with a belief that the spirits of those killed violently or whose bodies haven’t been recovered will remain behind to haunt the living. Obviously deciding when to give up and move on is a personal decision, but…

IF YOU FUCKING INTRODUCE A “BLUE LIVES MATTER” BILL, YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF “BLACK LIVES MATTER” AND WE CAN SEE THROUGH YOUR RACISM, YOU FUCKING PRICKS.

Well, if she doesn't like the behavior, I guess she could leave the campaign or start a new career.

My Facebook feed is full of people pointing out that Michelle Obama had the best speech at both the Republican and Democratic conventions this year...
