Apparently the husband’s step-daughter threatened to ruin the wife’s reputation if she tried to apply for his pension, which given the time was a pretty serious threat.

Joan’s stuff has always skewed much more bitter and rude for no reason than most Jezebel writers; this article actually felt pretty tame for her, sadly.

It’s almost certain. Also, most legitimate organizations working with animals don’t have random volunteers coming in, because it’s harmful for the animals to not have consistency with their keepers (which those shitty ‘orphanage’ ‘charities’ should remember, because it’s the same with human beings).

It’s probably a CPAP machine or something similar (which is incidentally what Elon Musk sent some hospitals after claiming to send hundreds of ventilators)

The park thing is also due to all city park rangers being pulled off their regular duties to do exclusively patrolling in parks, to identify areas where people aren't social distancing and get them to disperse. Like the group of 40ish people in Highland Park playing football together, or the 50+ person wedding in…

I think it’s a mix. There’s certainly those “establishment” voters who will gravitate towards Biden, but there’s also a lot of ideological voters who are more aligned with Bernie (and spoiler alert to rabid Bernie fans, there’s not a lot of daylight between their positions!). For those ideological voters though, I…

It’s totally messed up. I remember reading one thing during the latest fuckaround targeting Caster Semenya, which also discussed how elite cisgender women athletes on average have higher testosterone than non-athlete cis women, which enabled them to become (in part, obviously) such elites. [I’m just remembering this,…

You nailed it. And also brought up a thought floating in my head since reading some profile about him last year, where he discussed his coming out. I got the feeling that if he could have “gotten away” with living the rest of his life closeted as a public official, he absolutely would have without hesitation.

I do pistol squats (not nearly as deep as they’re going in that video, just to about a normal sitting height), but as part of my physical therapy routine. Same with donkey kicks (one leg at a time, please!). Some of these seem to be at their core good and useful exercises for strength and stability, but then some…

Carson Kressley has the best and most relatable resolution. I aspire to upgrade from terrible to mediocre in the things I do.

Not to drop another knowledge bomb on you, but... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liger

“I was eating the churros, licking the bowl...”

I would highly recommend listening to this podcast episode, which goes deep into the history of abortion in Ireland, the 8th amendment, and also the involvement of US pro-life campaigners: https://theirishpassport.com/podcast/episode-11-abortion/

To paraphrase the most classic of sports films (Air Bud, obvs), is there any specific rule that says a cat can’t play football?

This is brilliant. First the Deadspin Twitter, now this - apparently none of the higher ups at G/O are smart enough to do something as simple as change fucking passwords.

Dear Baleigh(?!?!), as a fellow “cop’s daughter”, shut the fuck up. This is a complete and total embarrassment and a waste of internet space. Ugh.

These are so beautiful

This. I loathe cigarettes and cigarette smoke (to the point where as a child, I refused to give my grandfather hugs because he smelled like cigarettes, and apparently once tried to flush his pack of Pall Malls down the toilet), but if I had to choose between a cigarette smoker and a vaper to punch, I will punch that…

What a disappointing revolt at sea. Not a single person was made to walk the plank!

My boss did one with his family a couple summers ago and they had an amazing time - also in comparison to other cruises, it is so inexpensive!
