Having just processed my mother’s cremation, and talked with several crematories who never once mentioned the state benefits she was due but up-charged my family nearly $2k in fees, I’d comfortably say that the industry could still use a lot of oversight, which it seems to lack. 

That picture of Rosario Dawson is weird. I know it’s petty but I keep looking at her eye and wondering what she got stuck in it. 

I feel bad too, she comes across as an airhead, but she makes her money her own way for her own audience of like-minded airheads, and it’s unfair that all the other kids get to remain mostly anonymous while she gets dumped on. 

I agree with you. In normal times, Beto and Biden and Bernie would be jokes because we can do better. In times like this, removing trump before true civil war breaks out (see his tweets and comments about said violence posted exactly today) and chaos rules. Climate change, student loan debt, health care, immigration…

Notice she’s blowing the hairspray in her general direction, i.e. the atmosphere. She wouldn’t dream of using that herself (I use Tresemme, but they don’t pay me to say so). 

That’s a nice jacket. Perfect shade of chocolate. 

I just thought he was afraid of getting a boner. I wouldn’t take language at this age as a sign of misogyny, honestly. (works with teenagers) 

Thank you for this post. I agree, and only add that these are sometimes intentional, sometimes not, but either way they are choices by the author, not the characters. That is the beauty of fiction: we can make it anything we want, and the audience/reader gets to decide whether they buy it or not. But either way, it is…

You took this way too seriously. Congrats, you win the prize. 

I can’t help but think, what with trump signing bibles, the earth burning up, and flagrantly world-wide fascism, that we are in the end times and pure stupidity is the natural symptom of this epoch.

Is that the question? Because clearly legality doesn’t matter any more. The question is if our so-called leader is for us or against us. Answer that one. 

I know, it appears they put a lot of pressure on the new husband to try and convince his wife to discuss her murdered daughter and I’m like, whaaaaat? That’s horrible because you are doing it, person! 

Being fired (or getting badly reviewed, whether you deserve it or not) is terribly humiliating and demoralizing. I was fired from one job for basically hating my boss and showing it, so I deserved it but man, it was a serious blow to my ego. 

They are 21st century hippies, or hipsters. It’s the trend among well-to-do homeopaths, as I just learned from a mother of an unvaccinated child my son has been playing with for two years. I’m not even sure how to handle the news (she casually dropped it at a play date) in a civilized manner.

The pure stupidity is incredible, but it’s the ARROGANCE of their stupidity that gets me. Grow a beard ironically if you want, hipster fuckwit parents, but messing with your child’s health because it’s trendy and you’re dumb? You don’t deserve to have children. 

Yes, they are. Dealing with a person with PTSD is difficult, perhaps impossible in some cases, and many people can’t do it. Love isn’t enough, strength is needed. You can feel your own way about these women, but given the spotlight this puts on them and their families, they are heroes for standing with their husbands.…

Of course, working out is for coastal elites, soooo.... guess the only route to real manliness is Alex Jones supplements.

Logitech Warrior Princess. 

If you listen to Pod Save the World (which I do occasionally to understand the diplomatic process), they repeatedly stress that the trump admin does not lay the groundwork for these talks, so NOTHING is agreed or hammered out ahead of time, as per usual. This was a publicity stunt with trump trying to flex on Kim, and…

I can’t for the life of me understand why he did that utterly weird flag embrace. I just can’t.
