I always wondered if that was a hard thing about being a veterinarian—having to resist the urge to kiss the animals.

Extending empathy seems like it would be too much work for a society that has difficulty getting out of its pajamas to go to Walmart.

Now if only I had a screaming baby. I never thought I’d say that, but I want to try this shit out.

I like his little “this is a good baby” ... ::smooch:: at the end. Like kissing the top of its little head was just an involuntary reaction to seeing a baby head. This guy really likes kids!

We used to do something really similar with our daughter when she was a tiny baby, it was super effective. I thought we just had a good baby - it turns out we just lucked into good technique.

We are in a weird period of US history indeed. For 239 years, white people have had the market cornered on wealth, representation, lobbying, law enforcement, job placement, demographics, media (need I go on?).

I love how doctors manhandle babies so confidently like a sack of potatoes. I hold my niece like she is made of tissue paper, but this guy is a pro!

Except the implication is that the celebrity’s husband/partner did this. I don’t much care for Kanye West, but someone who is not an abuser should not be implicated in this way.

maybe the patriots will bring terrible towels for everyone

I recently went to see a standup show where Trevor Noah was a surprise performer. His whole set was a joke about Oscar Pistorius and the punch line was that his fiancée had annoyed him so badly when he woke her up in the middle of he night that he shot her.

Because if people are at his concert they aren’t at home beating their spouses?

Trying to prevent spousal abuse

It also implies that you can tell who is a rapist because rapists are all creepy, you know? None of them are ever charming and likeable, no sir. It’s not like sociopaths are masters at manipulation. Definitely not. And then there’s the “of course he was a rapist, I knew he was one all along” - implying that his…

Feel the need to rant.

I matched with RiFF RAFF on Tinder this weekend. When I messaged him, he unmatched me. I am not sad about this.

How the fuck does this shit happen while other people are in the room and filming and nobody says anything????

She is being FedExed.
