Yeah, it’s obviously a big deal in the region. I moved from California and most my friends there heard it from me first on Facebook. The worst was already happening around 10 p.m. last night, people were being evacuated as early as 4 p.m. (eastern time). Some of the most beloved areas were spared, such as the…

This morning, eastern time (not sure where you’re located) I could only find local news on it - and they’re doing a great job. I’m glad the national outlets are picking it up. Tennessee Emergency Management Agency is calling it the greatest disaster in the history of the state. It’s not a small thing.

Sure - I do. Actually, for this, I went to our local news sources that are doing a bang-up job. The national news was hit or miss until mid-morning. I definitely don’t come here for that type of news, and my first question wasn’t sarcastic, just curious if they still reported on national tragedies as people may want…

Does Jezebel still cover national news stories such as the fires that have destroyed hundreds of structures (businesses and homes) in Gatlinburg? It’s only the most visited national park and tourist location in the country. I’m pissed about how the national media is ignoring it, even when California middle-of-nowhere…

You just know he has on a flat-brim hat and rhinestoned out jeans.

This is the second fatal school bus accident in the East Tennessee region since I moved her in 2014 (first one was in Knoxville, killed four people), so it’s pretty terrifying and makes me question whether my kids should ride the 1 mile home on the bus that they do. On the one hand, what are the chances that another…

My husband has an old tattoo of a banana slug giving you the finger coming out of his belly button. I really want him to cover it up, I am embarrassed to take him anywhere to swim where children are. That, and it looks more like a green turd than a slug.

And all of Tulare County...

That’s “so 559" of him. LOL...not sure if you’re from the area code, but if you are, then you know what I’m talking about.

My toddler would be so into this. Go google “trains” on YouTube and you’ll get hours upon hours of just...trains. He’s mesmerized every time.

Speaking of...saw an anti-vaxxers post the other day from election day, pre-Trump, stating that she would vote for the lowest of the low if it meant she would have control over her family’s health (aka, vaccinations) because Hillary wanted “forced vaccinations.” So really, things like misogyny, racism, homophobia,…

Yep. I had a cousin bemoaning the other day that “he didn’t know who he was allowed to make fun of any more” because he got called out for being wrong about something - not, as in, someone thought his opinion was wrong. But that he was factually incorrect.

We know she’s dumb - she made that comment, which = dumb. However...how dumb does she have to be to realize that the same reason Michelle can’t sue her for defamation for her comments is the same reason she can’t sue the people saying shit about her? You’d think that’d be one of the first things that public officials…

Here, politicians (and celebrities) generally have a hard time suing anyone for calling them names due to public personalities being fair game. They have to get into the nitty gritty of specific harm and prove it, and even then, that’s tough for them to do.

Even worse - there was no evidence that she used the drug as there were no traces of it in her body. That was all assumed by the prosecution.

We did have pizza. I think there was one local election night where pizza wasn’t provided and everyone threatened to quit. It was quite literally the only perk we had left at that point (probably around 2012) and we would be damned if they took that, too. But yes, my first thought was, WTF, what newspaper can afford a…

I keep telling folks here in Tennessee that there are literally more Trump supporters in California that the total amount of people who cast their vote (for any candidate) in the whole state. California isn’t necessarily the dreamy paradise people think it is - the places that are the most blue and don’t have some of…

I’m in Tennessee, and it’s the same. No one I know is poor or disenfranchised. I think it’s more like, they see people who used to be “beneath” them rising up and “taking” middle class jobs, and they feel like their place on top is threatened.

I’m wearing a pantsuit, thought about the pussy bow, but the only one I have is hot pink and I really didn’t want to go the Melania route. So pale pink silk blouse it was. I don’t usually do a pant suit, my big thighs and my personal style prefer skirts. But I’m with her, so I’ll wear a pantsuit for her!

I will tell you what a Trumper told me the other day: don’t believe the polls, they aren’t real. Instead, go to YouTube and watch all the videos of black people supporting Trump. THAT there is the truth, folks. YouTube. Those polls are so biased and are all lies and can’t predict anything, and there is NO reason why…
