No, you won’t. Everyone imagines old age as easy, financially secure, and your body in fine shape. That doesn’t happen.

no one in the history of being old has ever stepped aside because the older you get the more convinced you are of your own place and the less likely you are at recognizing your weaknesses due to age. its an old story, not a new one, its not even about “generations” in fact a lot of this “boomers/gen x are this and…

Let's not buy into these large companies' BS that we need tort reform. The court system is the last vestige we have for holding these mega companies responsible and if tort reform passes there literally is nothing holding them back.

You'll be old too some day, chucklefuck.

Any word on Dick Cheney’s whereabouts?

“the Pro Life crowd doesn’t want to take away woman’s rights. You can’t look at it like that, because that is not their goal. They find the idea of abortion to be the same as killing a baby”

While I think this is true of some pro lifers it is not true of the movement as a whole. Otherwise they would support increased access to birth control and comprehensive sex education, both of which contribute to lower abortion rates because they limit unwanted pregnancies. They don’t support those things because the…

except, i don’t think most men give a shit about ‘killing babies’. they do care about controlling women.

“I mean, I’d never really considered it. What if I really am just a belly-itcher?”

Probably doesn’t help the deluge of “fans” tweeting “finish the book before you die old man” variations at him. Honestly, the entitlement of modern fandom is tiring from the outside. It must be absolute hell getting it personally as he is aware of the possibility. A friend and colleague of his (Robert Jordan - The…

Getting back into a baseball game after you’ve already exited the stadium? That’s the very definition White privilege.

I think it might have hurt me! I only got into one of the 3 schools I applied to, and one of the ones that rejected me told me that I didn’t use enough “academic jargon” in my essay. (My first clue that continued academia was going to be super-pretentious and not for me.)

I remember Daphne Zuniga for starring opposite a young John Cusack in The Sure Thing. (A film that I somewhat improbably quoted in my grad school application essay.)

Given today’s news, I wanted to voice my appreciation for this post that is decidedly not about sports.

OMG seriously... as a Blazers fan, there’s no way I can rejoice in another big man going down with a catastrophic injury.

OTOH, it’s the Lakers, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

i just learned that it is possible to feel deep personal empathy for boogie at the same time as i feel intense schadenfreude for the organization which employs him

Dibs on your liver.

My Mom had all girls and “boy moms” used to annoy her so much. They all seemed to assume that being loud, messy, and roughhousing was something only boys did. She would frequently point out that my sisters and I did all of those things (especially the story where my middle sister and I were fighting and fell onto the…
