1) Susan Collins is fucking useless, been saying that for a couple years now.

This is a great reason why you should support whoever the Democratic Presidential candidate ends up being.

You deserve more stars than I can give.

So they’re like the Confederates here in America.

Ok so this is clearly above even our modern heightened standard for craziness... but what really blows my mind is that Mussolini’s granddaughter (who doesn’t seem to dislike him and is a right wing populist in Italy) is a successful Italian politician and member of the EU Parliament. Like, what?? Who okayed this? What…

We live in the most extra of timelines.

Even if the scale isn’t budging, keep in mind you’re still doing good things for your body, and that’s worth doing just for its own sake. 

Here’s what they tell us at cardiac rehab: that our bodies need to move and need to exercise for many reasons, and in particular, for a minimum of thirty minutes per day, five days a week. It’s okay to break it up (two ten minute walks and some arms/shoulders work with hand weights, for example). It makes your body…

This is 100% wrong. 

Seriously. And who the fuck buys mid-90s grunge-pop-rock on vinyl??? We had them on tapes and then CDs and they sounded perfectly fine. 

ironically, i just listened to this album for the first time about a week ago, and holy shit i have to COMPLETELY disagree. there are 6 radio singles on here that are still in heavy rotation. SIX. that’s thriller-level hit machine status. the lyrics really hit me, and i’m a 35 yeat old man. the only critiques i have…

Just because you liked something as a 12-year-old doesn’t mean it sucks now. It’s probably quite the opposite, actually — you were drawn in by pop-driven hooks, raw emotion, a bit of fashion, some rebellion, and whatever else. And you weren’t really swayed by the crowd’s or the critics’ opinions. Your fondness for it…

The fact that you’re buying ‘90s alterno records from Amazon while ironically joking about it, then lauding Tower Records as something other than a conglomerate that killed real record stores, shows just how little you ever got the existential Gen X angst to begin with. Alanis was always a little vanilla (I mean, she…

Because you can listen to more than one album in your life? This isn’t hard.

“my husband, the music knower, bought these obscure albums by Fleetwood Mac and the Beach Boys on our vintage refurbished record player”

Counterpoint, Jagged Little Pill was actually very good. It has won about a half billion awards and is a cultural touchstone for the era. At least 4 of the songs on the album have effectively permeated culture to the point that anyone who lived through that era would recognize them instantly and most people would be…

I wasn’t a tween girl when it came out - I was a gay man in my late twenties who’s first partner had just died from cancer. This album helped me transition from the Cranberries and weepy fare that kept me miserable to Alanis, who allowed me to be really fucking angry at the world for what had happened. It brought it…

Bleh I hate “everything I liked when I was younger is now stupid because I’m a mom now” articles. Jagged Little Pill was a little on the nose, yes, but there are some great songs in there.

I think this may be a case of your hubby getting in your head more then you not liking it any longer. Something similar happened to me and the movie “Dirty Love”. I and most of my friends loved and watched that thing on repeat. Then I showed it to a guy I was dating who said he’d seen a few scenes but didn’t like it.…

I love this album. I feel like a lot of great songs would sound corny when you just have the lyrics. Lots of lyrics are simple. But putting it with music makes it magical.
