I thought he had the wrong file tbh. He says it doesn't mean anything, but I swear he gets a kick out of it.

Ziff-Davis looks like it wants Jezebel and Gizmodo (and why not LifeHacker, Deadspin, etc.) but has no real interest in keeping Gawker itself. I think that would be a smart move. (Also, giving IO9 its independence from Gizmodo again would be great.)

Finally someone has done the right thing.

Totally. I’m a big, big proponent for birth choices (I’m actually a writer for a mom blog, so I sort of do it professionally). My c-section was an emergency c-section and I still loved the experience. My VBAC was also amazing. The mom guilt people tried (unsuccessfully) to foist on me regarding each was absurd.

Woo hoo! Mazel tov! Yeah, VBAC vs Csection recovery... I’m not sure if the difference is first time I did nothing but rest and second time around I had a toddler, or if it’s the difference between having pain killers and not, but while my csection recovery definitely took longer I’d say the VBAC recovery was more…

Having done both, I can tell you, from my experiences, that both have their benefits and detractors. If I were to have a third (#nope) I would go for another VBAC, no question, but if I were told “You need a c-section” I wouldn’t be even a little bit bummed. Actually giving birth vaginally is basically like taking the…

For those of you who have not given birth, allow me two descriptions of what that’s like based on my births, a c-section and a VBAC.

Dense like dying stars!

I like the Futurama version better.

Not at all, I just wouldn’t laugh about the mugshot if that were the case.

Before we pile on, are we sure this guy doesn’t have special needs?

So I feel the need to share this with other Martha fans. Anybody else remember Martha By Mail? Long before the internet and such, she operated a business via catalogue and phone. Anyways, Saturday I was at a thrift shop and found her yellow ware three piece mixing bowls. The entire set priced for $8. I nearly screamed…

Donald Trump can use them for mittens.

“Just saying”

Starred because it deserves to be ungreyed. But I disagree that conservative policies are reasonable about money - see our military spending, the long term cost of cutting funding to health care, social safety nets, and education. It doesn't matter if you save a dime here if you lose a dollar later because your…

My best friend and college roommate for three years is a conservative, and was a member of the college Republicans. He was (and is) an exemplary conservative and one whom I wish the party was full of.

Your honor, just look at him.

your honor, he thinks the jack sparrow accent is arousing.

Your honor, he wants to finger me with all his rings on.
