Mine too. She loves Jane Austen movies, but won’t read the books. I do not understand how that works. She is really smart and well-educated, but craves that weird high that the romance novel story arc provides and there is nothing I can do about it.

Wack jobs have painted science as liberal bs and that has filtered down to their base of people who are scared of change and very insecure about their intellectual abilities. In reality, science is just science. You don’t need to be an MIT grad to look around you and see the effects of our poor resource management.…

They should both go on the show, ‘Naked & Afraid.’ Only they should get left in whatever hellhole they are sent to, and we should get to watch them fight over the poisonous berries that will inevitably kill them.

Then I would suggest claiming you are well-informed, not well-read. They are two different things. I read news, blogs, and articles on Longform to stay informed and I read books as recreation and exercise for my brain. There are several novellas out there if reading a long story is not your thing. To each their own,…

My friend is an english major and she hammed up the part of “Sooo sexy,” in a way that I cannot convey in text. It was pretty funny.

Put up or shut up, windbag. Put a woman in your cabinet that doesn’t answer to Mother or current wife of billionaire so-and-so. If you say you support strong women then hire a few. Token Omarosa doesn’t fucking count.

And her own goddamn coin, ffs. You’d think he’d be up on something money related.

This is what forced birthing gets you.

I was in line for coffee and overheard a conversation about a movie. I don’t remember what movie it was, but one of the people involved gushed about how great the story was. I made eye contact with the gusher and told him, tongue in cheek, that the book was really good too, and it was. He stated to me flatly and…

Specifically, they were observing armadillo roadkill, I believe. But, no, we are all fine here, just fine. Science, schmience.  

I, too, made the mistake of marrying a non-reader. You live, you learn. My current partner introduced me to a different genre and it has been really good. I don’t care what people read, just read. Get outside your own head. I do harbor a certain disdain for people who ONLY read romance novels or become obsessed with…

And their soft, white children and grand children will be the first ones to die of some terrible cancer that pop-pop’s policies allowed to happen. Enjoy your melanoma kids!

We best make sure it stays under water, otherwise we will be paying for the renovations.

There was an article a while ago that talked about truckers noticing warm-climate animals wandering farther and farther north is the US. It’s not just scientists who are seeing the effects of climate change. Jim Bob the trucker is seeing too. If people could be bothered to turn off Fox news and travel a bit, they…

I feel like when you read from someone else’s perspective you gain empathy for others. When you only read various subject-dominated materials, you don’t really get that. Also, people who don’t read turn me right the fuck off. I don’t understand a claim to be “well-read” if you don’t “read.”

“Vistas of suck.” Hahahaha.....oh god, crying...

Our family cat used to walk us to the school bus every morning, and then pick us up at out bus stop every afternoon. Mom said she would check our rooms one by one just to make sure all her kittens got to school that day. RIP you grumpy old lady cat. Sniffles...

I swear, all these creepy fucks look alike. Are anti-gay pseudo Christians created in vats of slime and then asexually replicated? I can’t see any other way for them to be so utterly inhumane to so many people.

I was working on a race relations paper in college and I remember one southern gal was quoted as saying, “Interracial marriages are against the bible.” What bible are you referring to, Eva Braun? I don’t know where these people come up with this shit, cuz it’s not in the bible. I know. I have actually read it.

I agree. It’s one of a plethora of reasons why I would never practice. They feel they are following Jesus’ example, so ok, but no thanks.
