Oh my goodness, it’s the ghost of my first 1L contracts law case, the Hairy Hand! Dude gets burned on his hand, is promised that the surgeon will make his hand as good as new, gets a skin graft (from his thigh maybe?), and his hand grows hair, and he hates it. I was just reminiscing about my early law school days and…

My OB offering the shots on-site made it SO easy. The Tdap shot is actually integrated into my next appt; I did have to make a separate trip for the flu shot. I’m sure there’s some fear of driving off anti-vax patients—not even to other providers but to the land of pure woo—but it was SO great not to have to add yet…

I just saw him at the first American convention he’s done and was pretty impressed overall. He was incredibly candid about his mental health struggles and a difficult relationship with his father, who suffered from dementia and cancer during Eccleston’s season on Who. (There was also a lot of anger toward the BBC over…

I just bought a skirt-suit bottom and a tankini top, and I love it! It looks like a cute oufit! I’m pregnant and have some pool plans for the summer, and I knew my pin-up style one-piece was going to be suuuper uncomfortable if it even fit me. The tankini top gives me some room to grow and I can always just hike it up…

From the appellate opinion: “Unfortunately, after securing clearance from his sergeant, the first investigating officer urged G.M.C. and his friends to all delete the video, which apparently they did.”

WAIT WHAT?? So they just casually encouraged these dudes to destroy evidence. Trashfire all around. This shit is…

A lot to marvel at here, but this caught my eye: “To cut costs, [the N.R.A.] has eliminated free coffee and water coolers at its headquarters and has frozen its employees’ pension plan.”
I mean, not that I have an ounce of sympathy for employees of the N.R.A, but really? THIS is where you’re cutting costs? Guess they…

I genuinely love this story. It’s this bizarre and inexplicable Fake News mystery that is also fairly low-stakes.
BTW don’t know if anyone else is watching Santa Clarita Diet, but it’s really fun! For the most part they hit the tone really well, and Dimothay Lelephant and Droo Barrimoor are too charming together. It…

At least that weird moment where everyone thought the FBI had the fix in for Democrats is over now right?? LOLSOB.
(And I know that’s not even true. The moment the news pivots back to the Trump investigations, the deep state accusations will shamble forth again)

10000000% squicked out. I think of that anecdote every time I see a trailer, and I have a full-body shudder. 

I was out of the country on a 2 week trip when this shooting happened, and it truly had vanished from the news cycle by the time I got back and had my usual time to sloth around on social media and news sites. It gave me this weird feeling, like I had dreamed the whole story.

Dozens of people died and HUNDREDS were…

Oh this is a ray of sunshine! As mentioned, the article about his coming out was adorable too: “James, 54, says: ‘For example, I called him from New York last Sunday night and he said he couldn’t talk to me because he was watching the ITV series Victoria.

Oh this is totally true, I can SO see him squirreling away notes and memos like so many rotten acorns, nodding blandly to the camera all the while.  

*snorfle* at Grandma Keebler.

Your scenario is eminently plausible! I will hope that you are right, because it’s the only upshot in sight to Sessions’ occupancy of the AG position, and have popcorn waiting for their mutually assured destruction.

Ehhhh as long as he has carte blanche to discriminate against browns and poors, he’ll keep taking shit from 45.
But your idea is way better and I will root for it!!

There is so much horrifyingly hypnotic about this article, but I keep scrolling back to read this: ‘He stared at me. “Watch it. Your bag,” he said. “It was feeling good for a minute.”’
What. WHAT?!
I also scrolled back to re-read the description of the sauce and regretted it deeply, near as much as Joanna regretted…

Only closers get Crayolas!

I love the response to that rant too, where Morticia is completely understanding. That’s another thing I find so charming about this movie—the Addamses don’t hate Debbie, they just want Fester back. I think they sorta like and admire her, actually.

Whenever I’m at some manner of Halloween costume event, I assume that anyone who isn’t dressed in an obvious costume is going as a homicidal maniac.

Yeah, he definitely sounded unwell. Kept referring to Trump as ‘Comey,’ and it just got weirder from there.

But. You know his line about “double standard” is going to be making the Fox News/Breitbart rounds. “Maverick John McCain tells it like it is!” And then only quoting about five words he managed to string…

That’s a hard no. I honestly can’t decide if he’s willfully conflating the e-mail and Russia investigations or if he’s just.... very... confused. He keeps referring to Trump as ‘Comey’ and is way more hostile than any of the others have been. Beyond weird.
