Beards like this are like when women use makeup to aggressively contour. It’s not fooling anybody.

Especially now that we have the internet and looking up recipes is so easy. I never buy these mixes because it’s just too easy to Google a recipe for what’s in a traditional seasoning mix, and I almost always have all the ingredients in my spice cabinet. 

Extended families can come into it, too. Sometimes one person is like, “I feel strongly about this cause and I’m all in on supporting it.” Meanwhile, the other person is slightly more lukewarm on the cause, but their family—with whom maintaining a close relationship is a priority for the lukewarm spouse—is a thousand…

I kind of hate when people stay together for the kids. I have a friend whose parents separated three months after she (the youngest of their kids) left for college. She suddenly realized that they had only been staying together for her, and that all the arguing and resenting each other could have been avoided. She…

I think it’s weird how we, as a nation, basically sexually harassed a teenage girl (who maybe already had some underlying mental health issues) and then, when she had a very public breakdown, were like, “Whoa, what’s her problem?” I mean, the things that people said to her and about her in public and on the record…

Does she actually understand what she did wrong? Because it feels like she’s missing it. It wasn’t that she called the police in a situation where it was a judgement call. It was that she literally used calling the police as a threat, the unspoken part of which was, They’ll believe me long before they believe you, and…

Yeah, I was expecting her comments to be along the lines of how some women prefer a smaller penis because sex with a large penis can be uncomfortable depending on your anatomy or because a smaller penis can offer a wider range of things you can/want to do. Personally, I would agree with that statement. But her…

It’s because of shit like this that people make jokes-that-aren’t-entirely-jokes about guillotines. Rich people need to get it together.

Do you have magnetic tiles? Those things will entertain kids of all ages starting at about 18 months all the way up through... well, I’ll let you know since my seven year old still likes playing with them. Don’t get the crappy ones that are different colored on each side. Get the ones that are a solid color and come…

Nah, I feel like now is exactly the time. At least while we’re all stuck in our houses not able to see our friends, we can all agree that these people suck.

Allergy season is going to be really fun this year.

It’s so irritating because she’s right, not just in terms of the “right” thing for Bloomberg to do but for the sake of the election. If anybody thinks details won’t come out as the campaign goes on, they’re crazy. They always do. So just imagine if Breitbart gets hold of some of them and hangs on to them until just…

Right? She’s smart, she’s informed, she knows that nothing is going to come easy and is willing to get in there and fight (as opposed to Sanders who seems to think that he’s going to lead a grassroots revolution that will somehow make Republicans get on board with Medicare for All and student loan forgiveness). The…

I have seen so many articles over the past few days in major publications treating Bloomberg like he’s a real candidate, but the only things I’ve heard about him from actual people is either, basically, “fuck this guy” or “Well, I don’t particularly like him and a I know a lot of other people don’t like him, but I…

My husband’s family does this the day after Thanksgiving and while I endorse the sentiment, in execution it is not good. It’s just a whole bunch of gross, soggy casseroles and Folger’s coffee and relatives you didn’t want to see anyway. It’s bad. Breakfast potlucks should not be a thing.

I forget where, but I once read an article about how it’s basically impossible to sell stolen works of art. Unless the heist is effectively commissioned (like the Isabella Stuart Gardner heist in Boston), trying to find a buyer for a piece just means too much advertising of what you’ve got and most rich people don’t…

Yeah, this was one of the best and most thorough rundowns of the whole controversy I’ve seen. 

A lot of my friends grew up conservative and are now liberal. It has been amazing listening to story after story about how when they went home for the holidays their parents seemed to be living on a different planet. More than one person described a mother who cried (like, literal tears) about how unfair the Democrats…

I think it’s even worse than that. She’ll give McConnell cover. She (and Murkowski) will say that they’re “troubled” now or that this is “inappropriate” now, but then they’ll vote to acquit and McConnell and FoxNews will point to those votes to say, “See? Everything is fine? Murkowski and Collins were troubled and…

Let me say at the top here that what he did was absolutely wrong and the Times article is next level bonkers and tone deaf. I am not defending either one.
