This tinted Chapstick, while it isn’t Dr Pepper, looks pretty great and is super cheap!

Seconded on the Adam Driver love. I’m getting ready to watch “Paterson” for the second time. It won’t be the last.

The decaf meth is A-OK.

This just makes me cry. The almost infinite gap between the quality of the Obamas and the utter repulsiveness of the Trumps. I still haven’t gotten used to it, and I probably never will.

The fact that he even thinks about this is way worse than what he actually said. I mean, who even thinks that much about rape and incest? How does someone even keep these things in their mind long enough to form this idea? This guy is a next-level creep.

+1 for “social justicing”.

This asshole was the attorney general for a while here in Virginia. I have family members who know him personally and will enthusiastically confirm that he is exactly as much of a sanctimonious, hypocritical dick as you think he is.

All the ugh. I am not in the mood for wealthy people who literally never need to work another day in their lives to talk about how they long for a life of leisure like it’s some big world-changing concept. Yeah yeah, actors just kill themselves for their “craft” blah blah blah.

AMEN TO THIS! Please do not bring children into this little universe of dysfunction they have created for themselves.

I have heard that about ex sex but honestly, the thought of sleeping with my ex EVER AGAIN is just horrifying!

She is just such an impressive human. Not just smart, ambitious, and accomplished, but she also projects an aura of total authority and competence. Like, you can tell she’s the person who Gets Shit Done. She’s the total package and I hope this damn country is smart enough to take advantage of everything she has to…

Everyone can go home. This comment will never be bested.

I loved Heidi and Seal and was unreasonably invested in their family and am still not over their divorce.

Excellent reference!

This.

Or . . . they tried and still this happened, because sometimes even the best parents and best therapy don’t “fix” what’s wrong, is all I’m saying.

I agree with your point in general, but I also think you’re making a lot of assumptions about this family without knowing any details. It may very well turn out that the parents are shitty and failed to act when they should/could have, but we don’t know that yet. Let’s cool our jets on throwing blame at this point.

Old person here! Loved this book. Very fun read, super entertaining, can’t wait for the sequel.

Yep! Plastic squirt bottle from the dollar store, homemade ice packs (ice cubes, ziploc baggie, washcloth) tucked in to those big ol’ maternity underpants - it all worked great for me 30 years ago and great for my DIL one year ago.
