Humanity is a vast and very, very strange tapestry.

“Carryball" is a much better name. Feet almost never touch the ball in that stupid game.

Conservatives: the state shouldn’t tell people how to raise their children.

Because that would require sustained effort over the course of a couple of decades. Can't we just throw money at the problem. (Turns out: yes and no)

Not to mention the size of a brain isn't necessarily indicative of intelligence. An elephant's brain is about 4 times as large as a human's. That doesn't mean elephant's are smarter than humans. I mean, smarter than whoever designed this training course, sure, but not smarter than the average human.

I went to an “excellent” college. There were SOOOOO many dumb people there. Like, aggressively dumb people. They have degrees now, a lot of them have big, important jobs, occasionally I see their names in press releases as having moved up in this company or at that law firm or as running for the other state office.…

Harris was making a small but presumably sincere gesture toward trans inclusion and Cuomo turned it into a joke, which is shitty. He could have just said, "Okay, great" and moved on. Turning it into a joke is pretty good evidence that he is in fact not an ally.

Why are we assuming that she got the role? Presumably she's been on TONS of auditions. She would have had to make it fairly far along in the process to be working with the star, but the role could have very easily gone to someone else.

Nah, they're not that interesting. Just a curdled Christian marriage where she doesn't like him and he has no idea why because he's dim and God said that if he followed all the rules everything would be peaches and cream so *shrug*

Jimmy Carter once said that the reason he and Rosalyn had such a successful marriage was because they both had separate interests and they gave each other space to pursue them and then sort of came back together to hear about each other, so that they could each be fulfilled but also work together as a team. That…

I have friends who were fairly involved in a pretty conservative church when they got married (they have since moved on to a much more liberal congregation). They said that in the weeks before they got married, several couples in the church made a joke-but-not-quite about how if you put a nickel in a jar every time…

I've heard worse ideas

God, I spent so many years paying SO FUCKING MUCH at Victoria's Secret for bras and underwear that we’re itchy and didn’t fit right because that's what I thought was sexy. The reality is that the $5 for $20 undies at Target are plenty sexy and way more comfortable. And Target had a wider selection of bras than VS. VS…

The thing that I really like about the period tracker app I use is the predictive capabilities. I get a notification on my phone a couple of days before my period starts and it’s kind of nice to be able to brace for impact without having to check frequently, like I would if I was using a part chart. Plus when I’m at…

Tat's such a long way to go to...get away with it on a technicality?

I got married mid-morning, which is a great way to do it, IMO. Reception was over by 4 p.m., new husband and I retreated to our hotel room for a "nap" (we'd lived together for two years before that so we knew what we were doing), then met some friends for drinks and dinner later. If your wedding doesn't get over until…

I'm not familiar with the nitty gritty of Tinder but is it impossible to lie and claim to be younger than you are? If he really looks and "is biologically 49" (LOL) then why not just claim to be 49? How does going to court actually help you get more dates?

I think white people don't realize how it can make you feel a little crazy, too. It's a thing that happens to women, as well. So done behaves toward you in a completely bizarre way (weirdly rigidly or aggressive if you're not white, weirdly condescending if you're a woman, etc) but because no one calls you n****r or…

I's straight out of the Trump playbook. Don't admit shit, don't apologize for a goddamn thing, go hard at anybody accusing you of anything, and never, ever withdraw. It worked for Trump. Why wouldn't it work for Kavanaugh?

But you have to deal with people like this. I'm truly not sure it's worth it.
