Good point. (Because a star just wasn’t enough.)

I get what you are saying, most of these stories read to me as there was a reason, and it was real, that CPS got involved. At the same time I can’t help but think of women I know/know of that were white and/or well off AND using drugs/alcohol and whose children were never removed from the home. I think, for me, that’s…

I don’t know if it is ageist. But I hope it is true. Life happens to us, and then it changes us, and then we think differently. I’d like to think that I’m wiser every day of my life. But who knows? All this life experience HAS to be good for something...

So sad. That was my favorite season and he was one of my favorite designers. I still remember his white outfit that he won the challenge for.

Chicago on St. Paddy’s is a horrorshow. Also NYC. Have been in both. Now just get to high ground and hunker down till the day is over.

I used to think that we were living in the Joker’s world. I now think that Trump is in the employ of Vladimir Putin. I think he is doing Vlad’s bidding and he’s not being subtle about it. But Trump is such an overflowing-with-shit-toilet-brain of a man that we keep thinking it’s something else. It’s not. He is that…

But they’re cousins, identical cousins...

They are from the town where my mother lives. I’ve been trying to get her to dig up dirt on them for weeks. I knew there was dirt, I just knew it! Instead it came out on the show...

Ding ding ding! I could not agree more. I remember that when I first moved to Chicago back in the day there was a story about a young woman who locked her kid in the closet of her public housing unit so she could go out. (It could have been for work, to go grocery shopping, to party. I honestly don’t remember.) She…

There are two (I think) in the Milwaukee Art Museum and I spent at least 20 minutes in front of one. They are mesmerizing.

Climate change is real. Puerto Rico is suffering. American Virgin Islands are suffering. And Napa is on fire right now. Not coincidental. So, yeah, let’s get rid of clean energy and try to bring back coal.

There are two lessons anyone working for (or considering working for) Trump should always remember.

True, I think it is pretty hard (though not impossible) to break a baby’s skull. I would not have that friend around my kids again EVER. Easy for me to say. Still, would not.

If I dropped a baby I would confess proactively—sorry, while you were out I dropped your baby. I hope the baby is ok. WTF is wrong with people?

Since he’s a guy who loves to talk about physical appearance...does his hairline look a bit...off?

Looks like he could chew the bark off a tree.

Well, I guess Mel doesn’t know where some stem cells come from?

They will never decide that. Never. When people show you who they are, believe them. The GOP doesn’t care what happens to Americans, they only care about passing their precious agenda and keeping their jobs.

This was a Category 5 storm. Before my granddaddy died he used to tell me stories of reinforcing levees with sandbags before Camille came. He spoke of that storm like it was an enemy who broke into his house and tried to murder him. I personally remember seeing on TV the devastation in Florida after Andrew. And now…

I think he told them that it was a five, which “you people” have probably never heard of before.
