Simone Manuel’s reaction to winning gold will forever stand out in my mind. It was the most genuine reaction I’ve seen in sports history.

I would love for Team USA to move away from the yacht club aesthetic they continue to do for the summer uniform.

I’m so excited for the Simone Biles inundation we’re going to get over the next six months. Give me all the Simone! (And if you haven’t seen the video from a few years ago of a bee in her flowers at the World Championships, you’re missing out on life.)

Christ, NBC has been, hands-down, the worst part of the Olympics for me. Their commentators are all entertainment reporters so they don’t have the slightest clue on how to talk about the events or individual competitors with the knowledge the audience deserves. Always trying to turn each athlete into a human interest…

Team GB a record haul - hooray. That is what happens when people are allowed to train full time and not have to have another job at the same time. National lottery funding everyone. And the velodrome in Manchester kicking it out the cycling.

And us in the Republic of Ireland, who also can’t get abortions here. A dozen Irish women every DAY travel to Britain to access abortion services there, including at Marie Stopes. #RepealThe8th

It’s worth pointing out that Marie Stopes is the UK’s private abortion provider. English women can still get abortions anywhere, anytime for free on the NHS as long as they don’t mind having less flexibility in appointment times.

Don’t forget that he’s an ally to poor people as well. America has the best poor people. Other countries are super jealous of our poor people. Like the abundant healthcare benefits, education opportunities, and generous welfare programs the poor have that Darrel Issa has tried to cut at every turn.

No shame. I would break that man.

Quvenzhane’ Wallis is in 8th grade?!? When did that happen?

I went to the comments of that Gawker article because I was genuinely shocked and saddened by the news and wanted to commiserate, and found a very long comment thread full of people complaining that Jezebel should be closed down instead :/

I’ve been commenting on Jezebel and Gawker through two user names (it KILLED me when I lost a starred account in an early Kinja changeover), two degrees, and four moves. It’s helped me procrastinate, meet people when I moved to new cities, given me an online community of hilarious strangers, and taught me about which…

Oh man, I’d so much rather watch someone give birth than spend three hours in a cigarette-smoke-filled plane.

I flew to the Bahamas for an impromptu getaway when I was eight months along with my second. I figured it was unlikely she’d come early. My first was 11 days late and my mother delivered all three pregnancies late.

I’m just shocked that the airline did not charge the mother for another ticket.

Eh, it’s been done......

That’s it, I’m sick of flight delays.

Lovely story, congrats to the new parents.

She also supposedly delivered the baby with one push, so maybe airplanes are conducive to the act of birthing.
