I thought he was laughing at his own over-reaction. He's sitting there with wife and adorable fat little baby and he sees scary young thing show up and wants to gtfo out of fear that his daughter will see said scary young thing and, somehow, absorb some of her scary-young-thingness. He's making fun of himself, people!…

Whatever you had to say was invalidated by the phrase "youse guys".

If she weren't almost always funny as hell, that might be a problem. But she is, so it's not.

I've used it for some time. My cousin referred to his curly locks as his Jewfro. When I used it around another uncle, however, he was Offended. Deeply. What gives? Will someone please explain to this (admittedly lapsed) Jew what's so bothersome about the term?

What IS the problem with cobalt and black? Although you keep trying to decree that they are awful together, I think much of the rest of the world would disagree with you. xoxo

"One of whom", not "one of which."

Holy shit, Imogene. That's appalling. You sound respectful and calm, and that woman sounds like a power-mad, two-bit petty tyrant. I would have cold-cocked her for you if I'd been there. I have nothing but mad, mad respect for you.

Whenever someone says (I'd say almost, but I really haven't ever seen an exception) , "Oh my God, I can't believe you managed to make it about race," they are about to say something tone-deaf and — if not explicitly racist, certainly dripping with white privilege induced cluelessness. And how the hell can you say that…

In the spirit of brevity: fuck autotune.

I gave up watching after Tara's murder, but even I knew Gemma would die at Jax's hands. How could this really be a spoiler? How could you not know? I'd be more upset that the article reveals Unser's death. Didn't see that coming.

Oh, fer fuck's sake. She's feeding her kid because her kid is hungry and she's encouraging other women with kids not to assume that they can't continue their educations AND raise (and nurse) their little 'uns. Don't turn it into a negative. It's a fucking positive message, not exclusionary and "privilege blind".

Um , yeah, except you didn't refer only to his initial defense . You wrote, "Also, Dan Savage. But what do we actually expect from that guy." Which is about as general and generally accusatory as it gets. That's what I responded to.

Not sure I can link to what I want to link to, Fiona, but

Also, red herring. What does Dan Savage, someone who is very clear about the necessity of communication and consent, have to do with this? Nothing. That's what. Don't muddy the waters with bullshit innuendo.

You have a great point, Alex Bell. I'm working on it! Thanks for the reminder.

You know, I gotta say that I thought her comment was quite eloquent. She didn't say, "Yeah, I had a shit-ton of plastic surgery. And it's find for everyone to pick apart how I look because I'm happy now." Instead, she said that in the past she made some poor choices about how to conceal her bad treatment of her body.…

As a parent with arthritis and sleep problems, I have two words for you - Lock Box. Yup, handy and easy. And safe. And did I mention easy?

The Book of Stupid.

Not really analogous. There are some health benefits associated with circumcision & it's not associated with the repression and condemnation of male desire/sexuality as FGM is with the repression and condemnation of female sexuality/desire. So, no, there's no analog between the two.

You're going to "lie" down, Mark, not "lay" down. You should lay down the Bud Light (and never pick it up again), but unless you plan to clone yourself and have one of those selves tenderly place the other on the chaise, you won't be laying yourself down anytime soon.
