I think the best thing you can do for your kids is not let them watch commercial TV (just public TV with no commercials). Then they don’t see all the crap that’s advertised and aren’t always bugging for it.

What’s the Over/Under on how long it will take for Trump to attack Professor Clark on Twitter?

Lol, when you said “half a dozen” I just snuck a look at my two year old’s overstuffed bookshelf...I may have a problem. Kids books are just so fun to buy, though!!

We’re planing on doing something similar. Our baby will have just turned two at Christmas, and she has about a half a dozen books and toys. That’s, simply put, enough. My mother bought us so much stuff—both expensive, desired, appreciated presents and piles of crap because she has a shopping problem—that we opened…

I’d be OK with banning trilbys.

It’s really disturbing to think about how people use sex acts as insults like that. “Cocksucker,” “suck my dick,” and so on. These things can only function as insults if it’s understood that sucking dicks is supposed to be demeaning and shameful. Like making someone suck your dick is something violent and angry you do…

Thank goodness, a man is here to tell men how women feel.

Let the kid wear the dinosaur shoes outside FFS. You just said life is too short.

Presumably your cats don’t wake you up every ninety minutes and scream for thirty minutes for an entire year. Exhaustion like that is how you forget your baby in the backseat.

Also wasn’t that shooter homeschooled because he had issues? Other than the mom who taught him to shoot, who was going to notice changes in his behavior?

I think it’s interesting that this video on behalf of the Sandy hook charity is about watching fellow students for signs of mental health issues and “obsessions” with gun violence (like asking teens to police each other on that stuff is simple) when the guy who shot up Sandy Hook didn’t attend the school in the first…

Right? And he is a godsdamned vet too? Does he also work at the shelter and donate half his paycheck to the local orphanage? And people hate him!

Lololol I can’t. I just fucking can’t.

Fuck all of this. Fuck everything. Idris Elba should be every Santa, everywhere.

ETA: someone makes the Santa-MLK connection in the ex-comments as well. I’m actually starting to feel deeply disturbed at how readily white people are jumping to Martin Luther freaking King as the Black equivalent of Santa Clause.....

Except she didn’t say we had to give him a chance. She said we had to give EACH OTHER a chance. Which, sure, includes Donald Trump, but it’s definitely not the full-throated support flowerchild suggests she gave. Dolly also pointed out that when things go wrong, we need to step in and make them right. Sounds like she…

Gabrielle, I love you, but now that you have compared Donald Trump with National Treasure Dolly Parton, you and I are in a fight. :(

Can they bring in Heather Locklear or Rob Lowe? #seasonsavers

“That’s been around forever. If you keep reporting on it, it’s going to grow like a cancer,” Paula said. “If you forget about it, it’s probably going to go away. The media has to hop on everything and it’s wrong.”
