I shouldn’t even have to ask you to pick your clothes up off the floor and put your coffee mug in the dishwasher!

“I didn’t have much experience of how to organize domesticity.”

Yuk yuk yuk. I’m a terrible dad. I make my wife do all the emotional labor of parenthood.

My ex took a weird turn from great dude to Patriarchy Nightmare when he started to brag about “helping” with the dishes/laundry/pets. It’s not helping, you pissbaby, you live here.

Yeah, my mind jumped to the Katy Perry thing, too: “Wait, didn’t they split up because he wanted kids right away?” It sounds to me like she dodged a bullet.

Wow, thank you for this.

It’s a physical impossibility for Elon Musk to be out of anyone’s league. If it wasn’t for the Musk Family Emerald Mine, he’d be playing video games in a basement suite with at least one samurai sword on the wall.

Don’t you think that this sentiment is belittling to others who follow pop culture and hip hop/rap culture? There tends to be a crowd here that seems to be proud to not know certain things because they’re “old” but honestly it just seems ignorant. If you were interested in understanding parts of the article you…

Seafood poisoning is the worst. I had it once, and it was my own fault. I bought mussels and clarified some butter, added in a little garlic, toasted some crusty bread, and thought I was good to go. I was out for two days. Luckily my husband hates mussels so I was alone and didn’t poison anyone else. And I’ve steamed…

Anything by Carter will be miles better than Roupenian. That’s not a knock on Roupenian, it’s just the truth. Roupenian’s publishing career is still really young, and the stories that I’ve seen so far reflect that a bit. Carter is polished and more in control of what she’s doing with the fantastical elements she…

Speaking as a pasty Irish woman, when I was around 2, I found a bottle of what I guess I thought was water in the house (in Ireland). So I drank it. As you do when you are a toddler. Then ran a ridiculous fever and ended up in hospital. What was in the bottle? The water they washed my great grandmother’s dead body in…

Ants, live, a whole left over sodas' worth. I was about 13. So much shrieking and vomiting ensued. 100s of ants... And it was more the sensensation of the live ants desperately trying to climb out of my through and mouth that kept my gag reflex active for hours days weeks...

My parents have done this. They thought decorative soaps my grandma sent from Belgium were chocolates. They thought they tasted weird and gave them to our neighbor. The neighbors enjoyed them. My parents never asked if they are them or bathed with them. 

Freshman year of college we ate a lot of LSD (this is not the gross thing I ate). I’ve never been much of a beer drinker, but when tripping I liked to drink beer. So a bunch of us were tripping pretty hard in my friend’s dorm room, playing video games, drinking beers and smoking. Well at some point I looked down at my…

I ate soap. I was not a child.

I was crying so much as I read the account of what happened and what her mother did as he was murdering and terrorizing her family. I cannot imagine trying in vain to protect my children. The randomness of this is frightening. It sounds like she has supportive extended family, but dear God it does not replace parents.…

This is a nightmare. This is out of control spon-con. I’m sitting here at my computer with my Dawson Brocade Sweater tastefully clashing with my Keith Metallic-Trim Joggers, head in my hands, wondering what is wrong with the world. 

I’m a journalist in this area of Wisconsin. Today is the first day since Friday I’m not in Barron. I had to go through the criminal complaint, carefully reading every word. It’s haunted me for days. For some reason, what gets me is that luckily her dad didn’t know what was going on - but her mom, her poor mom, died in…

In an attempt to one-up his detractors while creating a narrative through-line for a career spent telling dick jokes, CK asserted “The whole point of comedy is to say things that you shouldn’t say. That’s the entire point.”

I just can’t imagine what was going through Mama Closs’ head in those last few moments of her life, knowing she couldn’t protect her daughter. Nightmares like these are part of why I believe in an afterlife - all I can hope is that Jayme’s parents are at peace now, somehow knowing their daughter is safe again.
