That is some A+ kinja.  This fool obviously isn't interested in serious discussion, and this answer is just as serious as the original whataboutism question deserves.

Classy/Classiest = words that have been inappropriately used for so long that they have no original meaning left, and now should be alternately read as trashy/trashiest.

I was shocked that people seemed so down on election night and the morning after. Do they not read political polling? The House candidates performed *better* than projected, taking more seats in a single election than Democrats have in decades.

I was walking in NYC, and passed Elizabeth Moss. I just blurted out, “I love Top of the Lake!” (A small New Zealand murder mystery series she starred in.) This was at the height of her Mad Men fame, and she looked amused and waved. I felt slightly embarrassed.  

“Thanks Detective Logan.”

My working theory: They are self-important cowards, who imagine that the whole world is out to get them. Because they are victims in their own minds, their fragile little egos need to imagine that they could be a hero, if only...

The first year is hard for a lot of people. After you declare a major, or begin to focus your coursework in a few areas, it gets a lot easier to meet people. Most colleges have counseling at Student Health, and it might be worth making an appointment to talk to someone. I know that it doesn’t make it more pleasant,…

Buy a calendar, start crossing off the days, and learn a new hobby.  I took up knitting in a similar situation.  Also, Netflix, so much Netflix.  Bonus: I'm now a fairly solid knitter, and I still enjoy it, even though we moved back to a large city.

I’m dead. “...away from the smell..”

No worries! Pissing contest is about fun on Friday. I have no idea where this serious, up-in-ya-face attitude is coming from. I’m drinking wine and laughing. I’m shocked that people have skin in the game on, arguably, one of the worst party themes ever invented.  😂

Solidarity.  Wedding showers are awful, and the women who throw them are, more often than not, awful too.  If that makes me a cool girl, I'll wear that name tag.  

A slightly insane notion that popped into my head yesterday:

Indeed. Some of the best moments in Michigan (of quite a few, actually) were the ballot initiatives. Removing barriers to voting with Measure 3, and passing anti-gerrymandering provisions with Measure 2 should both help African American voters in the state. We need every vote from WoC, because white suburan women…

Dump needs to keep Debbie Stabenow’s name outta his mouth.  

To rapidly endear yourself, you might consider ungraying (following) some worthy folks.  Mark Shrayber is rightfully a legend for bringing so many out of the grays in his final days.  Welcome to the Social!

I think it is probably because of the two major points of your post - he is in his nineties, and by extension, he isn’t in the public eye as much as he used to be. I remember him being much more center stage during my childhood and teen years. Also, the American people looooove a scandal. Carter, being the Mr. Rogers…

...and the people who had to endure eight years of a Bush, 2.0 Presidency because of the brutal backlash over Clinton’s inability to understand, care or fulfill his responsibility to keep his image clean. Wanna sexually harrass women, sleep around and get into sketchy real estate deals? Probably shouldn’t run for high…

My question as well!  I normally try to read/comment a bit before going out, then catch up in the morning.  ☹️

She stood outside with the largely African American workers of Detroit, has been arrested, and has repeatedly publicly criticised the exact same policies and people that you call out in your post. The previous poster was upset that she criticised Duggan and Gilbert, but I think her points are more than fair. (See my mu…

To be clear: not trying to pick a fight, just discuss. Most of what I have heard her say about Duggan and Gilbert (and the Ilitches) are criticisms of the enormous tax breaks they request while regular people in Detroit are having their water and heat turned off, the schools are falling down, poisoning the children…
