I want to like her but yeah, I think Bobby’s theory is correct here.

Mary J Blige is so freaking amazing! I would be a live theater fiend if even one performer per show could nail her perfect mix of theatrical/funny/never even a little bit annoying.

Yeah, I coulda done without the winged warriors’ bum cracks.

New liveblog format/platform, or is it just because there’s only one liveblogger? This is pretty elegant looking.

Check her out next to the giant bulldog head!

Nope, just little. Newborns are teeny.

It’s not like she’ll be getting residuals.

You’re amazing. I would have lost my mind during the surprise peeing phases in months 1 and 3. (Also, I’m decrepit and the height is good for my back. Changing her into pjs in the lowered crib is painful.)

Has anyone mentioned the corporate stalking? It’s really stunning how quickly unsolicited coupons/offers/entire 3-pound baskets of products start showing up in the mail.

For how long? Mine is 10+ months and I’m worried she’ll lose interest in it, but I feel like she needs something for teething. She hasn’t touched her teething-specific toys since she got her first two teeth. $2 teething dino was just for gum-squeaking, I guess.

Luckily the internet talked me out of that one.

That’s amazing. Can’t really argue with the evidence.

I got a snotsucker that uses wadded-up kleenex as a filter. Cheap and good and way less gross than the bulbs.

I mean, an insane person did a shooting. That’s really nobody’s fault.

Thanks. I was trying to figure out if there was a joke there.

OMG this quote from the NPR pre-vote story: “Individuals who speak out for the life of children shouldn’t suddenly be silenced by being screamed down because an insane person does a shooting in a clinic,” said Republican Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma on the floor yesterday.

I was nodding and then remembered his crappy “no black accountants” line reported in early summer (maybe?). Fuck this has been going on a long time.

Team Nobody. It’s not about us, it’s about them, and mileage varies wildly.

Literally not listening to the words that are coming out of her own mouth.
