The conspiracy site Vigilant Citizen was the first place I ever heard about this messed up shit:

I think mine would be Mark Ruffalo. Honestly, if he’s anything other than how he seems, I would give up all hope.

We get celebrities coming in for jury duty all the time here in Southern California, but they’re always dismissed because a) they’re distracting and b) they could be seen as unfairly influencing the other jury members. (i.e., and this is not a real example, “Well, if George Clooney thinks the guy did it...”) Also,…

Thirding, and also tossing in a recommendation for Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, a truly badass comic about a woman with a magical monster arm in a matriarchal steampunk version of Asia. The art is absolutely gorgeous and the writing is amazing. If that’s not enough to sell you on it, there’s also the…

I sure haven’t. I used to visit his page regularly until he made an unbelievably cruel comment about Adam Sandler’s young daughter and then I said nope, fuck this. I go to Dlisted for all my snarky celebrity needs now. Michael K doesn’t post nearly as much as he used to, since he’s been having medical issues, but the…

My mom had this and Harry Reems’ (porn star) autobiography hidden at the top of her closet, and I found them while snooping for my birthday presents. Oh man, I read them both by the dim glow of my nightlight and, back in those days before internet, it was an EDUCATION. Though I was really traumatized by My Secret…

Oooh, this is good intel! I usually get a regular Coke, but I do like Coke Zero so maybe I’ll start asking for that instead. Thanks!

I had a college friend who, when I called her sobbing because my mother had just been diagnosed with a spinal tumor, said “Oh, that’s horrible! I know how you feel, I’m anemic.”

Oh hey no thanks. Anything that distracts me from my stack of shitty celebrity rags will be met by the most scathing of stink-eyes from me. If they want to make flying more enjoyable, how about giving us more than one little piss dribble of Coke? I WANT THE WHOLE CAN, MA’AM.

That last one made me literally shiver and it’s 8 billion degrees here!

It took me a very long time to figure out how to cut people like that out of my life, but once I did, I was so much happier. Like you, I do have some coworkers who I have to stay civil with, but as far as my personal life? Toxic folks can GTFO.

Oh, W is still working with this bag of rotted dick chowder? Time to let my subscription lapse!

LW1: Speaking from LOTS of experience here, anyone who treats your medical emergencies as an opportunity to go full throttle “everything must be about me!” is not your friend. Let her go.

The first trailer I saw (the one with Sonic Youth’s cover of “Superstar”) made it look like psychological horror, which is my favorite, so I dragged my then fairly new boyfriend with me to see it. Needless to say, neither one of us was remotely prepared for how frickin’ gory it was, and he has a much lower tolerance…

Ugh, Jesus! Thanks for the description. The screenshot was disturbing enough but combined with the dialogue...

For some reason, I can’t get any sound from this clip (I did check both my speakers and the volume icon on the video). What’s the gist of it?

I love “I Will Survive” in all of its incarnations—-Gloria, The Puppini Sisters, Cake—-but that goddamn Avon ad using it and crowing about “now I’m the boss” or whatever (I cannot bring myself to look it up) MAKES ME WANT TO TREPAN MYSELF.

Yes! And I think there was a tiger shark one that was orange and white and tasted like Creamsicle. I’d trade my brother 3 regular ones for one tiger shark.

Oh man, SHARK BITES! I LOVED those things! I also liked those weird chocolate space food sticks and the “pre-bitten” chocolate chip cookies.
