Linda Ellerbee is a kingmaker.

Erin, thank you for posting this! I must have missed their episode of This American Life — until now I was completely unaware of this group.

I mean, having standards is just what civilized people do.

I hadn't seen that! I wouldn't think they were so easily damaged.

What is the protocol for wearing your medal in public? If I medaled in anything, I would wear that sucker everywhere to show it off.

Ha! "Geez person, this is how it works. And I'm the supposed animal."

Loraina?

That totally gives me the giggles thinking about the otter profanely complaining about the cups.

The otter is totally going to complain to management. They can't even give him the right pieces in the right order!

I love the indignant look the otter gives the trainer when he has to break apart the set because they aren't in the right order.

I'd say that more of it is sun damage from years and years of tanning. Still, she's 66 and looks her age, which is totally fine.

She was in a car accident that resulted in her having to have plastic surgery on her face, and I think from there she's maybe had more work done since then.

It looks like though that the shininess on the tip of her nose was dulled down, so it makes her nose look a little different, but I don't see that they actually did anything physically to it other than the color correction.

Mr. Rogers was probably the closest to the pinnacle of what we can achieve as good human beings. So many of his videos talking about children and their potential also make me a weepy mess.

So am I. I soured on ruffles a while ago when J. Crew saturated their stuff with ruffles on just about everything. I love an unexpected ruffled collar once in a while, but clean and crisp just looks more classic.

I saw in one article a mention of it being available for Christmas, so there's hope, I guess.

I saw this on Pinterest earlier in the week and went down the Internet rabbit hole trying to figure out how I could either buy it or make it. It is amazing!

I have the same feelings. Mitt especially was such a jerk to him. My eight-year-old has better manners than to talk over people, jeez. I just wanted to give Jim a big hug and a nice mug of tea after the debate.

Who knew that what I really needed tonight was a racy Patrick Duffy story? Thanks for delivering Lindy! My day's complete.

I'm with you in the long hair witch lady train. My mom, my aunts, my friends' moms — they all are in their 50s through 60s and all have that haircut. It's crazy. I don't see the mom cut among my friends with kids, and I certainly didn't do it. Was it just a generational thing that has fizzled out, hopefully?
