Based on that recent interview with Jenny Slate, it seemed like they simply didn’t have that much in common. I think you can love and respect a person, but sticking together day after day with no shared interests or “lifestyle,” if you will, isn’t always worth it.

Amazing, isn’t it? If one of these corporate wunderkinds needed brain surgery, would they choose the skilled brain surgeon or the podiatrist who also has “Doctor” in front of her name? They all think they’re geniuses, yet are incapable of applying simple logic to themselves.

Interesting. We live in Florida and never really thought about ticks here. It always seemed like an “up north” kind of thing. Then about a year ago, completely out of the blue, my husband couldn’t eat beef without getting sick—like for-an-entire-day, twisted-intestines kind of sick—which has continued to this day.…

Never heard that put so well.

You’re not wrong, but people hate change, especially when it requires effort on their part. I have in-laws in the dwindling auto industry, and the tenacity with which they hang on to it instead of pursuing new ideas is a bit breathtaking. They’ll go down with the ship and call themselves American Patriots® before they…

And a goodly portion of the contestants are gay, as well, so shut it, you weird Bible thumping self-loather. You can’t hate-taint the bakes!

I’m pretty sure that the entire first season of our GBBO podcast Gin and Cake can be summed up as: MARY, cutie Richard, MARY, Iain no!, MARY, cutie Martha, OCD Luis, MARY MARY MARY MARY. She’s a gosh-darned global treasure. UNESCO should put a plaque on her or something.

It’s the only vodka we drink--so smooth! A vodka-loving friend said it’s the only “sipper” vodka she’s ever had.

I still can’t grasp why men think that easy and cheap access to birth control for women isn’t something that affects them. It is literally the reason men get to have more sex without getting married, or have sex without being tied to child support payments for 18 years. Why isn’t every man jumping up and down to have…

Thank you so much for putting this into such eloquent words. I’ve always found the monarchy interesting, and this is in part why--the tradition, the stability, the thinking-ness of it all in a world that seems more insane by the day. I think I’ll be devastated when she dies, not because she’s a particularly great…

Oh, I think they did. They just thought “white working class” was the fittest because they keep getting told that by the people using them. If they got healthcare while every brown person was left to rot, I doubt they’d blink.

Ain’t it just!

Ugh, no! I had to take it recently for an illness, which was the first time I’ve ever used it. It was amazingly effective, so I’m glad to have this information so I can use it wisely--and very rarely--in the future.

Conveniently, the same companies profiting from opioids have also invented any number of drugs to deal with their side effects. Also for profit.

Imodium is an opiate-derivative?? Man, you learn something new every day. Thanks for the heads up about that.

I don’t disagree that small steps matter, but the only public interested in the lack of disclosure are the same people already protesting much of what this administration is doing (or not doing). The people who need to have their eyes opened are the ones who are blindly supporting him, and this does exactly the…

Stick with Russia. Stick with the decimation of the new healthcare plan. Stick with racist and religionist immigration policies. Stick with real issues that address the Right Now. A tax return that’s 11 years old and lacking anything even remotely resembling a smoking gun? SHUT UP.

Thanks! Yes, we’re doing all of that, and that’s good advice. I think we just have to keep slogging and hope for that one golden moment of visibility. It can happen. :D

I think you’d have to choose a celebrity that anyone gave a damn about for that to work. But Pamela Anderson? Meh.

It’s called “Gin and Cake”.
