The video is pretty tame. It’s nothing that a southern mother wouldn’t say to her child’s face, even in the presence of company.

The script is very clunky, that’s for sure. She didn’t come across as mean to me at all. She just sounded like a southern mama telling her children to mind their manners and learn how to cook. I don’t think she’s from the south, but she sure reminds me of my East Texan mama.

She comes across as less of a jerk than I anticipated from the description, but the whole thing is pretty awkward.

The best is Questlove’s retelling of his attempt to get invited to Patti LaBelle’s place for her legendary dinner. A must watch:

So, Austria rejected a far-right candidate and DAPL is stopped. It’s a good day! Let’s hope the results of the Italian referendum continue the pattern...and that this is a turning point after this no-good shitty year! (Louisiana senate seat; recounts and/or faithless electors, pleaseohplease!)

It’s strange to me that this is news now. I mean I’m glad it’s being talked about. But she said this FOREVER. Now people believe it because they heard men verify it?

The petulant-elect is so easy to bait. It would be fucking hilarious if it wasn’t terrifying and tragic.

My cat and my bed:

THEY LOOK SO HAPPY

We just purchased two new couches. The cat has decided that they are both his. I mean of course that’s who I got them for. He needed more furniture for his indoor jungle gym.

The only thing you can do now is stand by your decision. I’m sure he is grateful you gave him this opportunity (and, honestly, good on you for not succumbing to stigmas) and he should hopefully prove to be a valuable asset.

Oh my God. This is amazing. You’ve made my evening. I hope your cat takes pity on you and moves over a little bit :)

You guys are adorable and you have your priorities sorted. FYI if the leather covers don’t work out, you could consider installing a swing in your living room.

Hey guys. You are the best.

America needs a Black Megyn Kelly. She’d be like “Santa is brown; Jesus is clearly Black...”

I’d been doing this too until my neighbor complained about the weed smell. Now I’m back to being completely miserable and misanthropic.
