Co-sign on everything you said. My high school friends used to give me shit about how easily I struck up non-creepy friendships with older men (and women...I worked at a coffee shop popular with the senior set), so it’s refreshing and awesome to see a movie focused on that kind of platonic relationship. I just really…

It does. But I’m also a booty fan, so the “more guys should show their butts” motto is one I can support universally. I wish I could share my boyfriend’s magnificent derriere with all of you, but I fear he might see that as unacceptable. Just imagine Jason Momoa, if Jason Momoa were a curly-haired mountain biker with…

Or, you know, no one should show their butts because that’s where poo comes out!

Helen Keller, known Socialist, is on the Alabama state quarter. This fact never fails to tickle me.

It’s sad to lose a tree. 🌳

It’s terrible losing an old tree. For a while my family were very worried about our 100+ year old oak that is only 20 feet from my parents’ house because its entire canopy turned brown one summer, but fortunately we were able to find a talented botanist who was able to save it.

Too bad they couldn't have done like the Anne Frank house chestnut (now fallen) and grow saplings from it. The babies from Anne’s tree are all over the world now!

From the area and have been to Ivy Green many times. Not many things to love about Tuscumbia, but that tree certainly was among them.

I like to point out the recent massacres of Muslims committed by Buddhists in Burma as a way to blow “lol religion of peace” morons’ minds.

I watched the video and this is how it came across to me too. Just a like a dad joke.

That’s a relatively generous way to look at it. On the other hand, I have so many conversations here on Gawker about how “If it was ME, I’D stay and FIGHT for my HOME” as if every podiatrist and swimming coach and secretary just had a battle-hardened soldier inside, waiting to get out, and as if it says something bad…

Did anyone else see this excellent kid on Chris Hayes last night? “I call it the interrogation room because it’s where I was interrogated.”

I’m so disgusted by MacArthur ISD’s response to this whole situation. Those involved seem to believe that they really, truly did nothing wrong. It’s atrocious.

A hand can pose a threat. You can make it into a fist and punch someone or keep it flat and slap someone. You know what you need to do to your students, MacArthur.

I bet the majority of parents of students at MacArthur are more than pleased with this decision. :(

I’m a teacher who is discovering how hard I struggle with anxiety. I’m in a new district this year where I know no one, where the tech and classroom support I’m used to are at least ten years behind, and where, due to the common core, I feel utterly confused and turned around. Every day is a twenty minute commute to…

Damn. Great timing. I actually came to LH today to find an older article on “how to move on after you fucked up” (i may be paraphrasing) but this was certainly topical.

Is there really a point to approaching women outside of dating portals? It’s even easier to make a connection nowadays due to all the apps, so why bother with this tacky kind of shit? Hell, why even walk up on a woman at all? Instead of trying to decipher whether or not that barista really liked you when she smiled,…

For fuck’s sake.

And you had some very proud moments, Matt.
