I know I’m not the only one wondering if she’s part of the reason for McAvoy’s divorce after watching this show. Yowza.

i know it isn’t nice, but i really don’t like meghan trainor and have experienced some delicious and much needed friday afternoon schaudenfraude because of this. thanks, clover.

i want to hug carole king.

Happy to be of service :)

Thanks <3 but neither my mom nor an internet troll can get the satisfaction of upsetting me :)

Thanks. But if I let strangers on the internet upset me, imagine what my mom could get away with ;)

Not that I owe you an explanation, but since what I’ve said has clearly struck a chord with you, maybe you need to unpack your own relationship with your mom or children.

I am on the cusp of moving home to help my dad manage my alcoholic, abusive, terminally ill mother. Thanks to distance and a lot of time I am fairly immune to my mom’s bullshit, unlike the rest of my family who is being smothered in it.

Mark, I’m sorry we have such similar relationships with our mothers but I take great comfort in knowing I am not alone. I have never understood the mother as best friend relationship so many of my friends have, and it is so difficult to explain that we don’t get along without going into all the gruesome details that…

a million times this. that has always been my mother’s trump card but what she doesn’t realize is I wasn’t out there asking to be born so I could love her unconditionally no matter how bad of a parent she is/was. that isn’t how it works, no matter how much she might will it.

this is great, though. anti-science bullshit should not be tolerated anywhere, but especially in first world nations where we have absolutely zero excuse not to know better. let this case set a precedent, banning all these quacks who practice under the guise of “medicine”

completely. why people are attacking a total stranger who has nothing to do with the alleged affair is beyond me. you mad, hive? take it out on the only person everyone knows is at fault - jay z. or, you know, just keep out of other people’s business and be adult about it (LOL).

More democracy! Like x a million. Please set a precedent and let’s see this in every state!

where the fuck is the UN? they have stepped in on other elections with far less shady shit happening. no matter who you are voting for, this is not democracy, ‘merica.

there are plenty of pubs that these people will still go to. the kind with smoke stained windows (even though smoking hasn’t been allowed in pubs for years) and with a drooping billiards table that people still make bets over, and the barman and the rest of the locals will glare you down the second you walk in. you…

also depends where in the UK you are. it’s far more common in ireland and scotland than england ... and far less popular in london that most of the rest of england.

I think she’s just trying to garner more publicity for herself and will do it anyway possible, making sure everyone knows she wrote the song.

you can go down a really long and weird rabbit hole if you look up the “freeman movement” ... just wow. i had the pleasure of meeting one of these weirdos, who happened to be a college friend’s roommate. in a few quick points they believe:

at best they deserve manslaughter charges and to have their other children investigated by CPS. this is gross negligence. even if the naturopath didn’t tell them it was meningitis (this fact seems to change depending which article i read), the fact of the matter is that their child was obviously, clearly, gravely ill…

yup. this is the really scary bit. how can you tell a local from a local zealot? you can’t. it is so easy to scapegoat refugees because people want an enemy and no one wants to admit these attacks are happening to us, by us.
