Maybe we talk to the Obama girls about how they felt about pics of their father being hung

She’s so full of shit. Like Trump, Griffin lives for publicity, good or bad. She did this knowing exactly what the reaction would be and she knew her career wouldn’t suffer because the Red Staters weren’t part of her fan base to begin with (she may have also thought that this would make her a hero to the left.) She…

My favorite bit is from the end:

I haven’t peeked at a Bachelor/ette since Trista. This recap sounds like I should give this one a gander.

Okay Peter’s date was FANTASTIC and their discussion of their gap teeth warmed my cold, dead heart to no end. It was so GENUINE!

I love your post - thanks for writing it.

It’s funny, I never thought about the racial dynamics of Ghost World. Honestly I was just like Enid, I was a very sarcastic bitter teenager (but with brown skin and black hair and hijab). My friends and I would mock other students and we’d cuss out other people. (thankfully I grew the fuck up and I’m not like that…

Katie Holmes, I heard.

It sounds like a real life version of The Black Crusaders, only benevolent.

My friends and I have adopted the term ‘saltmates’ because when we get together we all end up bitching about the same shit. So, like soulmates, except we all hate the same things.

I guess. I blame Reagan, myself, but there’s a direct line through them all to where we are now.

I still blame Bush for doing a lot to create a scenario wher we ended up here.

I’m living on mostly rice, these days, but still subscribe to the New Yorker.

I guess the least surprising news is that it looks like it’s probably a suicide. So much of his body of work dwells on death and oblivion. He made it to 52. That’s almost twice as old as Cobain was when he killed himself. Christ. That was a long time ago.

We can all help prevent suicide. The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals.

I worked with a lady who was widowed very young. And for years, she really didn’t want to even think about being with someone else. But then the kids flew the nest, and she finally could think about herself again. I think it’s tough when you have kids because you see your spouse in them so much. But then…

Definitely see GotG2. There’s a lot more to it than Pratt. Kurt Russell and Michael Rooker are two particularly good other reasons.

See Guardians of the Galaxy 2. It will make you laugh and is full of the most amazing eye candy. My husband and I liked it better than the first one and plan to see it again because we know we missed a lot of good stuff the first time. And don’t miss the FIVE clips during the credits.

Only after reading this thread and doing some incidental googling did I come to realize that the geoduck is a real thing. up to this point I had assumed “geoduck” was a term, like “googlewhack”, only one generally applied to natural phenomena.
