Is it weird that I found the last item the most surprising? I mean, it’s no surprise that Trump and Kim Jong-Un like attention and making threats, but why would anyone object to having truckers tested for sleep apnea? Who benefits from having sleepy truck drivers on the road?

Ugh, Bryan is the worst. Rachel deserves so much better.

Now Pattison is saying he was just joking, no one really wanted him to molest a dog. IDK whether he really was joking or he’s backpedalling after realizing that people think animal abuse is bad, but either way I don’t want to watch that.

I immediately googled the dog thing because I didn’t remember hearing anything about it (maybe I just blocked it out). Jesus fucking Christ what is wrong with people.

This is the best possible answer.

This is an interesting point - the procedural rules are so complicated, I didn’t know that this was the case. Good to know that the Affordable Care Act is safe for at least another year.

Great idea. You know they are going to get a lot of hate mail, let’s help ensure they get even more supportive messages.

I like fictional crime shows and books, but I have no stomach for true crime. It seems so exploitative most of the time.

This reminds me of Eleanor’s clown-themed house in The Good Place. And we all know how that turned out!*

I’m sorry to see you go, I will miss your posts. It’s sad to see so many great writers leaving Jezebel. Congratulations on selling your book proposal, I will look forward to reading your book!

I haven’t seen most of the Marvel superhero movies, but I’ll be watching this one for Cate Blanchett and Tessa Thompson. They both look so amazing! I hope there’s a twist ending where they team up and rule Asgard together.

What the fuck????? Kids are supposed to learn the correct terms for body parts.  

It’s extra funny because she’s met Trump before. So has she been pretending not to speak English the whole time? Or did she just stop speaking to him, assuming (correctly) that he wouldn’t remember she could speak English the last time they met?

I don’t know if everyone has already read about this, but the first lady of Japan is truly inspirational and my new hero:

This article left me with some unanswered questions: What kind of dog is Maverick? How cute was s/he? Was Maverick okay being outside in the heat? As dogs are significantly better than people, I need more details about this very good puppy.

Seeing Rachel meet Bryan’s mom made me think of this:

I really liked and appreciated Dean’s post about his dad’s faith. You don’t see a ton of media representations of Sikh people, so it was great that Dean made a point to express his respect for the Sikh faith and clearly say that that wasn’t what he meant when he said his dad was eccentric. It confirmed my impression…

This is a solid theory.

Congratulations to Mindy!
