Yes. Why make it even worse with this?

It was a longstanding record, and she had to overcome many of life’s hurdles to break it.

Sweet jesus, how great is that GIF?

Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, Teddy Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson all succeeded to the presidency from the Vice President office due to assassinations.

Exactly. Was thinking this the whole way through the article. Trump is interesting. Who gives a fuck. (Or, who should care.) I want the smartest fucking person in the room with a half-decent moral compass and the ability to manage people. Anything else is gravy.

Competent is what we need in government. “Interesting” has gotten us Trump.

Given that Tom Perez is under investigation, and my personal choice, Julian Castro, was recently accused of violating the Hatch Act, who did that leave her with? Elizabeth Warren? We need her in the Senate, and even if we didn’t, her replacement would be chosen by a Republican. Ditto Corey Booker.

I didn’t live in a typical dangerous home, but growing up, my parents wouldn’t let me really have a social life (my narcissist mother needed her scapegoat at home, for emotional torture purposes), and also, never said a word to me about biology, sex, pregnancy, STDs. There was no Internet in my childhood. Had I…

I agree. And as I’ve mentioned down thread, specifically pertinent to Alaska, which has some of the highest child sexual abuse in the nation, it’s important that teens aren’t forced to involve their parents in their choice to get an abortion if they don’t want to.

I’ve heard this law argued about a bit and I always want to say in response to the well-meaninh(?) but misguided comment, “Well I’m for this law because I’d want to know if my daughter was in such a situation and be able to be there for here, even if it was to seek an abortion...” I always want to say, “yeah but you…

You know what? He has a better ass than I would have ever imagined. That said, I have never once thought to myself “I wonder what Danny DeVito’s ass is like.”

Sometimes it’s a transgressive thrill to wear clothes that are actively unflattering. The idea we, as women, are supposed to want to look appealing under all circumstances is so ... just taken for granted. Especially if you’re usually read as conventionally attractive, it feels kind of amazing to go “fuck you, I’m…

I dunno, given that the heat index is going to be somewhere between 105 and 110 tomorrow, I have to say that I really love the idea of a dress that just lightly sits on my shoulders and touches no other part of my body. Some of these are even kind of cute. I said it.

No. This needs to be a public disaster.

joanna can we do this privately

I just want to say that I have worn a number of dresses that look very similar to the ones pointed out in this article and Ellie sees me every day and now I understand her blank smiles

I have often found that people who say offensive shit then shout “freedom of speech!” Have no idea what it actually means. Just like they don’t get the whole book of Leviticus but quote it pretty regularly. Also they’ll never understand what it means if you try to explain it to them because they refuse to understand…

I just want to give her a hug. No one should have to go through this bullshit.

My brother and I loved Peter Scolari in Bosom Buddies and thought Tom Hanks was a dork. We still marvel about our lack of vision.

Real talk, Jezzies, I need your take on this. A few weeks ago, Obnoxious Friend From Back Home posted on Facebook a picture of himself with his middle school-aged daughter, selfie style, sitting together on some bleachers. The lower body of anonymous woman in the row above was framed by their faces. OFFBH added a…
