Janet Min deserves a shout-out. Under her, US Weekly became a juggernaut in the 2000s. It was a golden era that took the salaciousness of the Enquirer but glossed it up like People and the gossip-about actual, real celebrities- was TRUE!

Might this case of bullying be one where everyone involved just sucks?

Right but they know that if they tried to discuss their issues with the lesson plan they’d make their real issue obvious and say the quiet part out loud. “We don’t want our kids thinking critically about race.”

The lesson that should be the takeaway is that everyone has the capability of being a garbage person, but if people are truly remorseful, we should let people be forgiven. Although, the court of public opinion is much different than a one-on-one situation.

This is the most accurate description of self-labeled Royal experts. All protocol, manners, etc. is all made up anyway so it makes sense you’d have “experts” making it up along the way too.

Ben’s a mess but I’m suspicious of anyone who can’t be single for 5 minutes. 

I don’t even get the critique of age... it was frozen the whole time. It wasn’t sour or spoiled, just old and maybe not having the nutrients a baby could use? So why not feed it to the dog?  It wouldn’t hurt them unless they fart from lactose!

OK, what’s the implication here? Cause it sounds like you’re sexualizing breast milk. Or shaming breast feeding? I can’t figure out what the innuendo is supposed to be or why you’d be afraid to ask why a child would want a sip of the break milk literally made for him.

Yeah, Joan’s is a weird and bullshit take on this. Literally, what is the difference between giving a dog human milk and giving a cat cow milk? Both equally strange from the standpoint of nature. If anything, we should be cranky because most dogs are not lactose tolerant and he probably got a tummy ache :-(

I’m in the metro DC area. The number of businesses that send around advertising that has the Christian fish on it astonishes me. I find it extremely off-putting. I don’t care about your religion if I want to buy car parts, I just want to buy car parts. Don’t be shoving your religion at me. I don’t care about yours and…

It’s that way here in Nashville.  If a business has a “Christian fish” on it, that tells me to avoid going there.

I would agree if they went with Elizabeth. But Lilibet reads to me a sly tweaking of all the formality, pomp and circumstance and reputation that reinforces the royal family’s terrible behavior. The more casual name says “I love you, Grandma, but get with the fucking times,” and paired with Diana it says “and you…

If they’re going to name the kid after the queen, they should’ve gone with Betty. Archie and Betty, a natural pairing.

Because she’s still their grandmother and they love her. Acknowledging someone’s faults so you don’t repeat them doesn’t mean that you stop loving them.

They’ve been pretty clear from the beginning that their beef isn’t with the Queen. It’s with the British press, the people in the palace working behind the scenes and…

Especially since this was being televised worldwide, but we had nowhere near the TV/technology broadcasting we have now. It had to be gigantic to stand out on all those screens.

but then he’d be playing with the sink for 24 hours straight.

At the risk of being overly cynical, does this work because of the technique, or because it ends with the toddler getting exactly what he wanted in the first place?  I say from my own (painful and ongoing) experience that a lot of, if not most, toddler tantrums stem from wanting something and not being able to have it…

I used to be the impatient and angry type, but using these tips I’ve become so much more at peace with the world. In fact I’m sitting here in my car in line at Starbucks thinking about how angry I used to be and I can only smile. Even the car in front of me that can CLEARLY move forward and place their order doesn’t…
