The one thing that makes me feel bad for him is that he does seem to have come from a family that was, like, 100% fuckups in one way or another. Thieves, abusers, and just plain crazy. Like, his uncle has actually gone on television and called them all losers, in part because they committed identity theft against his…

I read all of Dianetics and I was genuinely horrified by the idea of anyone saying, “Oh, yeah, this is totally an ideology that will help me.” This was in part because its claims make very little sense and in part because of how misogynistic they are. It repeatedly claims that one’s emotional troubles as an adult are…

In other news, Kara Brown thinks it’s fucking hilarious to make fun of a mass shooting where fifteen human beings ended up dead in a piece she writes about milk - then expects her readers to believe her outrage is genuine in a different shooting.

I’m very confused about the rationale the Peace Corps had for ending your service. Is it because they terminate the service of everyone who enters into a criminal case? Is it because they felt the nature of your charges put you at further risk?

I had genuinely no idea that Frederick’s had physical stores. My teenaged older brother somehow got on the mailing list for them, and if I was the first one to get the mail, I would look at every page and puzzle over the pictures of women modeling gloves who were literally only wearing gloves.

I know this sounds dopey, but I am happy at just how happy she is in that picture. She just ran a literal marathon and is still all, “WOO!”

Aww, it sounds like she had a super-sweet party.

I think women are going to still probably have the babies.

The information I can find about Dunkin’ Donuts employment in Massachussetts (yes, I literally just researched that, and I’m not sure whether to be proud or ashamed that I did) is that their employees receive non-tipped wages of $9.00/hour, which is the level set by the state. Policies on tipping are set by individual…

My brother’s oldest son asked when he was about four, “So who would win if Superman fought Batman?”

The original event was organized by the Muslim Students’ Association.

Execution tends to create more victims. The executed person has parents, siblings, children, and friends who are traumatized and likely present at the death.

A dude with 44 Dunkin’ Donuts franchises wants a little more cash?

Sure, maybe you lived, but certainly you were kidnapped multiple times.

I was walking home when I ran into a woman and a little girl (six or seven?) who was wearing a backpack with the same unusual name as my niece. I mentioned it while we were waiting together for a light to change.

“We’re so sorry that we don’t want to face consequences!”

Ha! A Creek friend of mine who grew up in rural Oklahoma and who now lives in Milwaukee has repeatedly expressed a wish to ride through the city on horseback.

I’m glad to see a personal narrative about abortion from a woman with other children. There is a terrifying narrative from the anti-abortion crusade that women who seek abortions are incapable about understanding or caring about their pregnancies, or are so childlike that they must be manipulated into giving birth.

I’ve had two long-term girlfriends. Both of the breakups I had with them occurred after they refused to introduce me to their parents, who must have been very stupid to not know their daughters were very, very gay. The repetition of women deciding I would never be good enough to meet their families has done nothing…

My students’ race has been weirdly predictive of their majors. Asian? Business school. Native/First Nations? Pre-law. Hispanic? Pre-Med. Black? Split between pre-law and business school.
