Tell Bugs to give us some advance notice so I can warn my dad and stepmother, Robert Is Here, and the Weeki-Wachee mermaids to evacuate first.

MIA is seriously Miami’s airport code? That’s...unfortunate.

Southern California. It was very strange to move here from Minnesota, where everything/everyone seemed focused on kids, and suddenly there were actually childfree adults like me! Though this isn’t a scientific study by any means; my hobbies and interests seem to attract more people without kids (not exclusively,…

I can’t even imagine how it must have been for women in previous generations. I got some strange looks when I said I didn’t want kids when I was younger, but I’ve definitely noticed more acceptance over the years.

When I first started working at this company, a coworker asked if I had kids and I said no, she followed up with “any plans?”, I said I didn’t want kids, and she said, “Oh! Well...that’s okay for you, I guess. I just know without kids I’d feel so unfulfilled.”

DID HE GIVE YOU THAT STATEMENT FROM A ROTARY PHONE. My god, that is the sweetest, sickest burn I’ve seen in a long time.

There is so, so much to hate Justin Bieber for but tops on my list is his cavalier attitude towards animals. STOP GETTING ANIMALS, JUSTIN, YOU LITTLE SMEGNUGGET.

Jesus Christ, that second one from the right doesn’t look like he’s “feline fine” at all. He looks like a late-era Louis Wain painting.

To quote Dlisted re: Mariah’s followup tweet (this is paraphrased, Dlisted is blocked at work): “’Shit’ didn’t happen, that was the whole damn sewer.”

I live very close to Calabasas and work in the next city over, and there are plenty of homeless people in this area. There’s a restaurant that’s been empty for years and its parking lot has become a tent city of sorts. Granted, it’s an EXTREMELY wealthy area---I once got cut off by a Bentley and then watched as it…

I do! Though that’s my only memory of Alpha Beta, really.

Oh yeah, I think I remember that one! IIRC it had some tie in to the Brian De Palma movie “Body Double”.

I had one of those too! I knew the band had two openly gay members, and the 12" single art (god, 12" singles!!!) had some pretty provocative art on it, but I had NO idea that the song was about buttfuckin’. Ah, the days before the internet.

At least I still had my “Frankie Says RELAX” shirt.

“Cool story bro” time: I had a Choose Life shirt, and I was in Alpha Beta (now-defunct grocery store) when an elderly woman came up to me and started gushing about how wonderful it was to see young people willing to stand up for the rights of the unborn.

Princess Leia was one of the first true female role models I had: tough, funny, smart, just as capable (and often more so) of handling shit as the guys, AND she wound up with the hottest dude in the end. Later on, she became a role model to me for a different reason: openly discussing her struggles with addiction and…

Dude! Did you seriously just spoil Orphan? That’s one of the best movie twists ever!

I need to forward this link to someone I know who insists that African-Americans don’t like cats. (She’s 100% not joking.)

Somebody’s probably already mentioned this in the comments, but just in case: “Private Show” by Britney Spears. I’m no hater; I love Britney and Glory is a great album except for this earsplittingly bad turd.

The best novel I read this year was The Last One. It’s about a woman competing on a Survivor-type reality show, and because she and the other contestants are cut off from the rest of the world, they don’t know it’s been hit by a pandemic. (No, it’s not a zombie novel.) Zoo, as the producers call her, keeps finding…
