Well shit. I didn't know either. This day just got worse.

Also:

This is what happens when you combine blazing, baseless self-confidence with a near-terminal lack of self-awareness and then give it a publishing deal. This crap is so terrible that it might be greatness coming from the other direction. I am gleeful that it even exists.

I promise I was not offended. No one likes lawyer jokes more than lawyers.

Oh my god. You win.

I can verify this. I am a lawyer, and I am unsuffer..... zzzzzzzzzzz.

Kind of OT, but I hate the fact that my having two young kids makes me totally incapable of reading this article with any kind of neutrality. Pre-kids, I would have been horrified and sympathetic and just sad. Post-kids, I am just stuck on horrified. I just can't think of anything worse than killing a child.

I am thisclose to leaving this site entirely. This isn't a hairflip or anything. I just am tired of the thinking on Jezebel that if you aren't gay/POC/trans/whatever, you can't speak up for others who are, because doing so would be "silencing". As someone in the comments above put it so eloquently, progress is not a…

This. Fucking exactly this.

Best comment.

My point was not that these people SHOULD be in jail and they totes deserve it and the system works. Clearly our penal system is jacked up and we're imprisoning hundreds of thousands of people we shouldn't be. I'm a defense lawyer; you are preaching to the choir. My point is that the characters are purposely written…

Sigh.

Or, you know, it could be a well-written, hilarious,engrossing show with one of the best, no, ONLY ensemble female casts, ever. I fail to see the problem with the behaviors she's complaining about from the "wildly racist tropes". The black people say they like fried chicken while acknowledging the stereotype; I don't…

Me too.

So, about 3 years ago, I was in DC, with some friends, at DC9 (the best dance-bar ever, RIP). Me and my husband were newly married and I was WASTED. I'm fairly certain that we conceived our first daughter that night. The next day I threw up all morning, then drank some gin and tonics and went out again.

5 lbs of pork shoulder. Jar of salsa. 2 tbsps each of cocoa powder and oregano. Mix the liquids and spices; coat the pork shoulder. Turn the crockpot on low and let that sucker go for 6 hours.

I don't think you can assume they're racist. 3 year olds are trying to figure out the world around them, and a lot of what they do is put people into categories: boy/girl, old/young, nice/mean, etc. They're not great at shades of gray. The 3 year old is probably just trying to figure out where you fit in to her world.…

DON'T YOU DARE HATE ON DONNIE! I was a 9 year old back in 1990, when NKOTB was at their peak. I freaking LOVED Donnie because 1) he was not conventionally handsome, but still definitely handsome and 2) he was a BAD BOY and got in fights and smoked. I had a t-shirt with him on it (rat tail, ripped jeans, oh yes) that I…

I think you mean mandala. But a mandela design would be pretty sweet too!

This story would have a lot more cred with me if it included some interviews with ladies who, while perhaps strong, were not ALSO skinny.
