It was a joke. I know what the word means.

Ah, I see: you dismiss my point about the Supreme Court interfering in elections in 2000: something O’Connor later claimed to regret. And then respond to yourself. Nice.

You wouldn’t truly understand how horrid lanternflies are until you start seeing dead ones in the corners of your building’s elevator every day, or one routinely flies at your face while you’re walking down the street or sitting outside, or you see a tree with knobbly bark and realize it’s actually just COVERED IN…

I never get tired RWNJ self pwnage.

Why you could even say that this kind of racism is ingrained in the system, right? Sort of a “systemic racism”, we could call it? 

I’m all too familiar with that and the fallout that followed. Which shows just how deep the sickness goes...all the way to the core. America’s racism is a rotting, festering, malignant cancer.

White Agencies protecting racist white people, you don’t say!

I’ve never understand the term “asshats” for two reasons. 1.  How do you put a hat on an ass? The ears would get in the way. 2. What did hats do to be deserve being associated with the likes of Donald Trump?  It’s not like red baseball hats chose to have “MAGA” written on them.

This is exactly what happens in this neighborhood. We’ll have a rash of petty crime and all over Nextdoor, it’s “Gangs from X City”, and then someone will catch it happening on their Ring and it turns out to be Joshua from down the street sneaking out at night. Or there will be a rumor going around that “gangs” are…

I was trying to be diplomatic. I’m totally sure. They haven’t caused every single problem, just a lot of them.

I look forward to firmly aligning our reality to this deluded image!

A sell-out is someone who reneges on their stated values for money. Did Mary Trump ever speak out against bestselling books? I doubt it somehow. 

You’re not wrong. The problem is that the rich people don’t even see themselves as rich.*

I found that particular book to be revelatory and also fascinating. So many asshats in one family.

I do the pretty bottle thing; I mainly use oils in different combinations on my body and I transferred them into colbalt blue bottles I got on Amazon. I found a seller on Etsy that makes lovely cutom labels. It’s inexpensive and looking at them lifts my mood. Oh! I also have a pretty bottle for my dishwashing…

While I’m not going to run out to buy glass vessels to store my bathroom stuff in, I can see where they’re coming from and understand the complaint about labeling. I peel the labels off of any of the products I have when there’s actually a label to peel (things like toothpaste and bottles that are screenprinted don’t…

I’ve always liked reading T&C because the ads are pretty.  If you are stuck at a library and need something to look through for half an hour (and you’ve read all the People magazines), Town & Country has beautiful ads, and I love analyzing them.

T&C has long been a favorite hate-read for me.
My Mom is a terrible snob.
Which is hilarious because she is literally a charity case, with not a single cent of her own.
What she has always had in spades however, is the deluded impression that she is deposed royalty; the victim of a terrible mix up at birth.

The Washington Post is supposed to be a pretty liberal paper, yet commenters from all political stripes still think a one income household is not a luxury and is very realistic if “people would buy smaller houses and eat out less.”
