“kept asking her wannabe gotcha questions then interrupting her and would not let her fully answer.” - the hallmark of the mansplainer. I had a boss do this to me, and I still feel enraged about it even though I don’t work with him anymore. If I had been less financially dependent on my job, I would have been so…

Ha! Good one. TLC fans will revoke my fan card, but confession: I have never......liked.......Waterfalls. Yep. I think a LOT of it had to do with it being their most popular song, and therefore, their most overplayed song, which then destroyed the song, and like, I never need to hear it again. Everybody gets…

I live in Minnesota, so to be fair, there are a bazillion lakes here. Multiple in the city I grew up in, and literally 3 lakes within walking distance of even just my current house. But there was a specific lake in Minneapolis (where there are also many) that was an especially big magnet for teens/college kids,…

People underestimate how much hate for a song is driven by overexposure. I remember when this came out, and BECAUSE it was on...every...single...second.it became a nightmare. When you hear that first flute? Nahhhh, man, time to RUN to the radio to turn that off. I worked as a temp back then, and I sat at a woman’s…

Thanks! Love it.

When I’ve watched shows where they tour southern homes and talk about the craftsmanship in, say, a historic home in Charleston, and then they talk about how much that house is worth on the real estate market, I want restitution, and massive funds poured into fixing the schools, getting massive funds for childcare…

Were you a history major or minor? Because I love this comment (history minor and history buff, here.) And everything you’ve outlined makes me wonder when humans will be less like garbage people with little to no ethics. Rhetorical question: Will we ever escape this constant pattern of exploitation and greed? Sigh.

This describes every modern day Republican: “They would get pissed with actual facts.” 

This just says it all in one tidy little group of words: “A man with a Pepe the Frog patch and two “Anti-Communist Action” patches”. Much like that photo-shopped image of white men with the same face behind Drumpf the day Trumpcare passed, you could almost use just Pepe the Frog patch guy in every article like this…

This is amazing: “Revolutionary era old people cosplay.”

My take away is that reporters keep asking these questions of both Katy Perry and Taylor Swift and keep a feud alive that is long dead and long over. Katy Perry has something to say because she was pointedly asked about it, and the same thing is true for Taylor. I’m tired of pitting women against women in the public…

I am VERY excited for this, been a huge fan since I was singing “Ain’t 2 proud 2 beg” outside the car windows while me and my best friend drove endlessly around a very popular lake (amongst droves of other teens driving around said lake). When I think of some of the happiest summers of my life, I always have a TLC…

Oooo...I just commented above about an acquaintance with an MA who is one of the least knowledgeable people I know, and I wonder, “how???????” This explains it! (And yes, he comes from wealth! Also, he went to a small college where the adviser to student ratio was pretty much 1 to 1.)

I think this is true for more than just Harvard - I have a friend who is one of the smartest human beings on the planet, with no college degree and poor grades (from literally randomly quitting classes). On the other hand, one of my dumbest acquaintances has a Masters Degree. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Please post. I want this meme!

lol, oh Rachel, I love your stuff: “I mean, what even are adjectives, really?” 

I still say this line constantly. Sheree has some good, evergreen lines, man.

I think from the waist up, with that top she had an Elvis vibe, but the thing that clinched it was her hairstyle - she had it swooped up the way Elvis did in the 60's.

This is amazing “my realization came in a Blockbuster aisle not on national TV.” I.e. the sentence is amazing - I’m sorry you were in a friendship with a pathological liar.

This made me laugh out loud: “because he’s “Catholic” even though he literally couldn’t tell you who the main guy is in the New Testament.” The “main guy in the new testament.” lol
