Kudos to the reporter for getting the word “smear” in there. Just top-notch reporting.

What I find amazing is that she had folks falling over her left and right trying to make her a pop star a la “a Fergie, Gwen Stefani or Britney Spears”, and she *still* insisted on trying to rap - trying to use a style that demands a cultural connection she did not appreciate and did not bother with. Christ, *ICP* is…

This is amazing — thoroughly researched, relentlessly argued and really compellingly written. Thank you for making my morning with it!

Campaigned for President of the United States on one specific campaign promise: building a literal wall to keep brown people out of the country.

Sued by DOJ for refusing to rent to black people, ultimately settling the case (despite “never settling”), then sued and settles again for failing to live up to original settlement.

My dad regularly chastises me for not being “ladylike.” I’ve asked him multiple times for the term for when men need to sit down, shut up, and look attractive. He won’t tell me!!

My dad used to pull the “ladylike” crap on me. Telling him that I learned how to curse, etc, from him never worked, it was only after I sharply retorted, “Since I am a lady, my behavior is, by its very nature, ladylike,” coupled with the death stare that I inherited from his mother, that he finally stopped.

Maybe after like 30 or something, we could just forcefully reincarnate them.

To be fair, it IS standard to refer to people on the congress floor as “the gentleman from Iowa” or “the lady from Tennessee,” it’s just part of the decorum of the chamber. But, that is definitely not how he was using it. He was using it as “young lady, you better go get those sandwiches ready while the real men do…

Then again, some might say that religion itself is nothing but an elaborate mechanism for coping with death anxiety.

Don’t take this as anything but advice - but either 1) buy bacon from the butcher shop in the amount you know you will consume; 2) make the whole package and chop & freeze the rest - great salad or pizza topper; or 3) make it all and give it to a friend/neighbor.

Shanghai Knights are dark and full of terrors

I’d always thought of it as the Southern good-bye.

So, you’re telling me that yelling “I’M OUT, BITCHES!” isn’t the way to do this?

this is a serious and important article but my wife is from Texas and when she matched the lock and firmness of my handshake on our first date, I knew it was on.

This is a fun/observant article. The hug/handshake dilemma is a weird one. Sometimes I want to hug a close male friend and I get looked at like I have two heads (as I am also a guy). Other times I would much rather shake the hand of a female acquaintance and my hand receives a glare that seems to suggest it’s coated…

FUCK YOOOUUUUUUUU Adidas for allowing this shit.

Are you ok with no giving a shit about other kids that may not be lucky enough to have you as a mom and need help and services? That is the question here.

John Mulaney has a bit in one of his standup specials where he says that he grew up before children were special, and I know what he means. I was often allowed to just sort of do as I pleased, and those days are over. However, I think we now live in a time in which only one’s own children have any value. Other…

HAhahahahahahaha yeah sure. And then they continue doing whatever they were doing while ignoring your ass like they can’t hear you. Say pardon me, scootch closer to them and say pardon me louder, and then sit down and shove them over. 90% of the time works great, 10% of the time you get stabbed. But them’s the chances…
