See PersnicketyPants’ explanation somewhere in this thread because that’s exactly correct.

So, uh, just so I make sure we’re on the same page here, were you aware that Jerry Springer was actually elected mayor of Cincinnati in the ‘70s, and that was part of your joke?

If Rachel Maddow’s Shabbat theory is correct, we have about twenty-one hours until the batshit commences.

Yay, it’s finally on Stitcher! I’ve been checking every week looking for it. *And* it’s about one of my biggest obsessions/fascinations? Happy Thursday to me!

Imagine a childhood/lifetime filled with “ladies don’t swear,” “ladies don’t wear pants in the office,” “ladies take up less room than men,” “ladies don’t like horror movies,” “ladies don’t play sports,” etc. That’s where I’m coming from: the lifelong use of “ladies” to attempt to shame women into behaving a certain…

Personally, I would use “women” in that setting, although that setting is a whole separate issue for me, and probably *any* word used repeatedly on that show like that would end up being very annoying. I used to watch Big Brother, and to this day, the word “houseguest” makes me cringe.

Are you a person of the age who sees “hey you guys” and immediately thinks of Rita Moreno on The Electric Company? Because I am. I loved that show.

“Guys” is my generic word for a group of people, regardless of age or gender. And sometimes “dudes” if the people I’m addressing are close friends. I don’t care how formal the setting is because, well, I live a very informal life.

Ugh, “gals” and “ladies” both bug the hell out of me. The former has already been addressed, so I’ll vent about the latter: “That’s not lady-like!” “Be a nice lady!” Ladies are supposed to be nice, accommodating, conciliatory, cooperative, and always let other people be in charge. And wear skirts and heels, not jeans…

Pretty much, except now I can get my weed from my aunt (or, hell, an actual store, since I live in a place where we have those) instead of from one of those guys.

I was thinking the lady version of this:

22-year-old!me would have totally voted yes as well. Because that would have placed us in 1994, which I think was the peak of this look’s perceived hotness. Then I graduated from college and started working in an office with guys who showered more than once a week.

I find really interesting that chopping up firewood is viewed here as MASCULINE and DAD’S JOB. In my family, yeah, that was my dad’s job, but that’s because it was literally his job. He was a timber cutter, and my family put a huge focus on the importance of going to college so my brother and I didn’t end up being…

The idea of a 45-branded community brings only one word to mind: Hooverville. So there’s that blast from the past to look forward to. And now we know the Great in that campaign slogan refers to the Great Depression! Fanfuckingtastic.

Not off base, unless my phone is also throwing things off. The angle of her chin looks weird to me.

Uh... She’s merely the Emmy-winning lead actress in one of ABC’s biggest hit shows. That’s all.

Believe it or not, Logan. As in the last Wolverine movie. It was *really* interesting to see that storyline unfold at this particular time in our horrors. That should have said “history,” not “horrors,” but in this case, I’m thinking autocorrect knows best.

Fantastic movie, although a major downer. Totally did not expect the whole human trafficking and slavery storyline *at all* even though I was aware the working title was Juarez (that alone should have signaled a lot of this shit for me, but it didn’t). It almost makes me forgive Mangold for the second installment in…

No, I have to use dual-phase eye makeup remover specifically made to remove waterproof makeup. The particular one I use is Kroger’s store brand version of Neutrogena’s oil-free eye makeup remover. I have some miscellar cleansing water for removing waterproof makeup, and it’s good for removing bb cream, and I also use…

My current go-to eyeliner, if you consider ten bucks reasonable: Sephora 12-hour waterproof pencil. It wears on me even better than Urban Decay 24/7 pencils, which used to be my favorite. I can’t justify getting cheaper liners to save money or more expensive ones for splurges because this one is pretty much perfect…
