“Drinking an arbitrary amount of water each day (one gallon, in this case) feels like scientific mumbo-jumbo...”

It’s mumbo-jumbo, alright, but not SCIENTIFIC mumbo-jumbo! There’s NO science that says any more water than what your body requires to stay hydrated makes you in any way healthier.

Eight glasses a day? An…

I’m sorry, but you can’t eat at Chipotle anymore. It’s not allowed. I’ve told you and now you, specifically, are not allowed.

Marie ... I hate to be “that guy” but the deputies weren’t “Los Angeles Police Department/LAPD” — they were “Los Angeles Sheriff Department/LASD.”

As a Black woman, I gotta disagree with this one. Locking down accounts and removing old racist/sexist/homophobic tweets is pretty much Employability 101 at this point. Not tweeting them in the first place is even better. Nearly all recruiters for high-profile jobs check social media. Parsing out “ignorant” vs.…

Fitting that you bring up The Good Place, a show whose entire message is rooted in the beautiful idea that people can grow and change, and that we are not all the worst thing we’ve ever done.

Troll warning:  Faceless Fucktoy is just that.  Ignore and dismiss at your leisure. 

If the tweets were from a couple years ago or while she was already in the workforce that’s one thing. But when the ignorance was from a person’s teenage years, I’d hope folks would be open to giving her a chance to show her growth in the past ten years.

It’s so telling who we allow to “grow” and “learn” from past shitty behavior and who we don’t. This WOC made some shitty dumb tweets when she was a teenager, but Ted Danson did a literal minstrel show as an adult and we still love him on The Good Place. Kelly Osbourne implied the only people who clean toilets for a…

Too funny.  My husband figured out ages ago that if he wants to eat he has to go to the store.  He’s actually good at cleaning and laundry, but mostly does big cleans or tons of laundry all at once.  He’s not great at the every day stuff, so yes I’ve walked past a pair of socks on the floor for a week.  

I used to be the queen of passive-aggression and this, my friend, is not passive-aggression. This is war.

Shaun King’s response to her complaints was is particularly horrible.

I’m so, so sorry for your loss. It’s awful enough to lose anyone violently--it’s SO much worse for this public dimension to it, wherein everyone weighs in and opines--I can’t even imagine how that affects the grieving process. That is disgusting about the misspelled name. Grief is so goddamn hard.

I’m so sorry for your loss and for the fact that your pain was exacerbated in this way. 

Fuck Shaun King and everyone else profiting off of pain and suffering.

Well, shit. It’ll be interesting to see how these folks respond to the call for accountability. I hope they step up.

First, that was a study not actual proof of anything. Second the results of that study were mostly inconclusive in terms of general HP usage.

That’s the point. Right there. I do put some in my Listerine. 

To be an authentic English breakfast, it should be an Irishperson’s breakfast that they stole for themselves.

A traditional Irish breakfast: It starts with a lecture by your nan on the importance of celibacy, being threatened with a beating by your da’, then your ma’ gives you a bit of potato, tells you to work harder, and finally an Englishman steals your potato.

Check out the photo Joan posted, and then re-read the joke.
