No, he took them out and played with them. We told him and told him.

In my experience, a Trump voter is someone who will endorse any perversity to protect the way of life that brings them comfort, because they’re all absolutely terrified. It’s a difficult balancing act for someone as disordered and moronic as Trump, because what terrifies Evangelicals isn’t the same thing as what his…

For starters, all of the Gospels should be read *at least* in a direct, word-for-word translation from the Greek, if not in the Greek itself. Even the most beautiful translations (like the King James) take liberties that change the context entirely. In the verse you quoted, what Jesus was saying was that the “laws”…

Spectral, at one point I said, “I mean, seriously, have you SEEN those Hugo Boss uniforms the SS wore?!? Hitler would have even hated Trump’s CLOTHES.” And then I knew I was in the deep weeds.

As I said in a comment on an earlier article, I’m as guilty as anyone of complicating and making more sophisticated the What Is This Dumbass Made Of ingredient list, when it’s really very simple. He’s a meat tube with a hole at the top and a hole at the bottom to whom nothing and no one is real. And while I agree…

They turn toward the M-O-O-N, and that spells moon.

Oh heaven help us, do not get me started on the burden of Christmas on women, because we will end up with our hair on fire in a house full of bullet holes.

Children who are raped should always, always have perfect integrity. If they’re damaged by the experience, the abuse is stricken from the record, and the rapist gets to start over with new kids. This is both science and the law.

If it’s a Democrat AND a bitch, half this country would pay money to watch him kill it.

Thank you so much for responding. I have four children — three biological and one foster — born over a very large time span. The eldest is 34 (and has a child of her own) and the youngest is 12. I’ve been raising children without a break since I was 18, and while I’m thankful every single day for how extraordinary…

Maybe those careers draw men with a similar testosterone glitch. They can probably smell each other, the way one of my dogs always knows exactly where the other peed five days ago.

I wasn’t referring to Bundy; I was replying to a comment about the Green River Killer. I’m aware of the facts of both cases.

I see he’s taken the advice of The Root article on what will best serve him in prison, and is focusing on the Stone part of his name, rather than the Roger.

I can’t believe none of us got the ersatz President of the United States a trophy for participation JUST BECAUSE HE DIDN’T SHOW UP FOR THE GAME. Now he might get mad! Now he might have big feelings and hurt people!

I long ago grew weary of attempts to armchair diagnose him with some recognizable mental illness. Even as a thought exercise, it becomes tedious. But I knew I’d reached the end when I said to my husband in frustration, “NO, he is NOT like Hitler. Hitler would have loathed his stupidity and laziness and gluttony and…

When a man’s hair shows you what he is, believe it the first time.

Interesting you should bring him up, because HIS marriage is so fascinating. His wife of thirteen years has always maintained “everything was good” about him, and that their relationship was bliss. He never spoke unkindly to her, never got angry. When he was arrested, she was in the same fierce denial I’d be about my…

That same daughter and her husband are about the spend a year in Oxford, and every few days I send her a text telling her I can’t wait to come visit so I can run into Inspector Morse. I switch it up with Lewis, and lately anyone British is fair game, including Noel, and the entire cast of The Detectorists.

Ooo, that’s a great episode, too. My daughter is obsessed with the Great British Baking Show, and I couldn’t figure out why she was so thrilled to see the new season. When she was a teenager she was obsessed with The Mighty Boosh, so it’s like Noel Fielding joined GBBS just for HER.

Okay, now I just want to know if the baby was healthy and if motherhood ended up suiting you? The people I’ve known who were reluctant but did it for a mate are split about 50/50 — some were surprised by over-the-top joy, others are like, “meh.”
