I was really struck by the scene with Kyle and Kim in Palm Springs, when Kim started singing her sad victim song about Kyle stealing her house. “You wouldn’t let me buy it! You sold it before I could even take my things out!” But then Kyle reminded her that they’d discussed their daughters co-listing the house, which…

In brief? Fell of the wagon, denied it, spewed hateful bile at everyone who showed concern, and failed to take responsibility for anything.

For one, swore up and down as indignantly as is humanly possible that she was sober. She took someone else’s (probably) narcotic and didn’t consider it a slip. She made a whole mess of accusations about people’s husbands and children. She set people/pitbull relations back by decades and put the funk into family…

I know right. I feel like spending that extra ten minutes on Eilene being bent out of shape because brandy made a bad joke about her Norman bates house could have been more usefully served covering these greater issues of import.

Speaking of quack doctors... is there no professional body that Dr. Phil is embarrassing?

I can’t help but feel that these are parents who have their kids in 9,000 other “social obligations,” so I sideye pretty hard that they couldn’t find two hours to be nice to a girl.

You don’t have kids, do you?

I have some of those things but people still like me...

What the shit???? When I was a kid, my parents made me go to several classmates’ parties that I didn’t want to go to.

My son’s on the autism spectrum. He’ll be turning 8 next month, and we’re not doing a party because I’m afraid this exact thing will happen to him. (We’re taking him to an amusement park instead)

Yeah surely the parents got the invites? Children are frequently assholes but for all the parents to not have their children attend is inexcusable.

I've been watching anime since Macross and Voltron in the 80's and up into the mid 2000's. While I'm not as up-to-date with many newer releases, I can try to recommend something from the archives. Do you have a rundown of what you have seen and didn't like or what genre you'd be most interested in?

This got me started on anime
