I got as far as “Emma Watson turning 30" and got too distracted by my joints creaking to read any farther.

Whoa! ‘Adventure” projection alert!

You’re inferring quite a lot from a rather flippant sarcastic comment of the type that the Jezebel commentariat is known for.

Look, I get it that it would be satisfying to tell the newly hired clod of dirt and beer coozie that their main qualifications were being dumb in the right way and appealing to the bucket of Crisco that hired them, but even when you could technically do that without repercussion, it’s still necessary to work with…

Eh, I didn’t read it as “look at me, I needed fertility treatments” but as “if you are seeing this post and you are crushed because someone else got pregnant, know that I have been there and I have empathy.” I can see where it would play both ways though.

That’s me too. I actually believed it was universally recognized that a strong public educational system is key to a successful country. I see now I was mistaken. I have asked if they want to have the kind of country with children begging on the streets (because we’re not far off, honestly.)

I just read a letter from some guy in my hometown saying that people who don’t have children in school should get 2/3 of their taxes back.  I’ve never had children, but I’m happy to contribute to good schools.  These current children will be taking care of me some day.  I want them to be well-educated, empathetic, and…

The truly egregious lie my mother told us: we hated avocados. Backstory:

argued that his client fell victim to temptation

...but McGrath is a self-described moderate who believes the Democrats currently running for president are veering too far to the left. She doesn’t support eliminating private insurance under a Medicare-for-all plan, nor does she support subsidizing healthcare for undocumented immigrants. She also describes herself as…

This was out when I was 22 years old & loved Willow on Buffy. I was young enough to remember, clearly, going to Band Camp, and old enough to see it without parents.  What a great memory.

I was adopted and I look very much like my mom. No one could believe it when they were informed I was adopted. 

‘Blah, blah, blah. If you’re trying to silence me through the Hatch Act, it’s not going to work. Let me know when the jail sentence starts.’

You can’t be serious.  That’s not how this works; that’s not how any of this works.

I could kind of believe this actually. I find Manson incredibly boring as an infamous figure/cult leader, and I think he was truly an egocentric sociopath who really wanted to be famous and was butt hurt that these big music producers weren’t blown away by his mediocre music. Ultimately, I don’t think he actually gave…

I hope it’s just:

That’s a fine point but he should really think hard about what folksy anecdotes he wants to pepper in his speeches to seem relatable. Because saying some racist ass white dude didn’t call your white ass “boy” back in the day does NOT sound as appealing to some voters as Joe thinks.

I refuse to tip at counter service places. These people don’t get paid the same low wages as a server at a full service restaurant, so why should I? Do you also tip the cashier at Target? It would be the same thing.

Interesting point. I’m always suspicious of that middle aged man who pulls out a fat wad of cash to pay at the grocery store.

Yeah exactly, I keep maybe $20 in cash max on me in case of emergency and I’m not willing to consider “help the server evade the IRS and get money slightly faster” an emergency. I still tip 20%+ and will continue to do so until wage laws are changed to make tipping unnecessary, but this is where I draw the line.
