Jesus I just fell down the hate reading rabbit hole with y’all and I cannot stop. Her blog reminds me of the It’s Like They Know Us tumblr — All white backgrounds, perfectly coifed people, staged to the nth degree — except without the awesomely sarcastic captions. WHO IS TAKING THESE PICTURES?! Also, the product…

You’re right, and I wasn’t super clear on that. The monetary limit isn’t tied to prosecution, but generally to ATF becoming involved in the investigation. And of course it varies by field division and the US attorney’s office, as to what their informal thresholds are for taking a case federally.

There’s a weird gray area when it comes to arson, because ATF is the primary investigating agency but FBI also has jurisdiction when it relates to hate crimes or terrorism (generally domestic in these cases). ATF offices throughout the south ARE investigating these church fires right now, and I believe they are doing…

If you’d asked me even a few months before we got pregnant if we were ready to have a kid, the answer would have been a resounding HELL NO.

Tempura shiitake is the tits.

Horrendous as this incident is, it is standard protocol to handcuff any suspect, even if they have been wounded or killed. Not excusing a single goddamn thing in this shitshow but that part is SOP for police.

Have you been talking to my MIL? Cause the other night at family dinner I got treated to an amazing discussion about how black and hispanic people have RUINED her life because of crime and not paying taxes and education has gone downhill since desegregation and yeah. I about had a rage stroke.

I'll go with you and we can compete to see who has the biggest hair afterward! Just remember to wear ALL your fancy jewelry at once, like my MIL does.

Google around your area for whiskey dinners and events. We went to Whiskies of the World last fall and it was AMAZING. I'm in Atlanta and part of the Metro ATL Scotch Club, which has weekly tastings and gatherings. I'm the only woman in our entire group of friends who drinks bourbon/whiskey/Scotch, so I mostly tend to…

Have you tried the Owl's Brew tea for cocktails? They have an English breakfast with lemon and lime, an amazing darjeeling with strawberry and hibiscus, and a chai one. They're made to mix with liquor. The darjeeling is incredible in champagne, and I do the english breakfast with vodka or bourbon and a dash of club…

Girl, I will drink ALL the nice whiskey with you! In this house we try everything from Four Roses to Pappy. Also now I'm making my own bitters so that it can be fancy cocktail hour all the time.

I came here to say exactly this. WTF stereotypes with your "fruity drinks." If Mr. Fuzz couldn't pour some bourbon over a king cube and add a few drops of bitters, then no amount of groom school was gonna help his ass.

She obviously missed the parenting memo that you're supposed to AVOID letting your children see you having sex so as not to traumatize them for fucking life.

Not to be totally juvenile but

If you are on decent enough terms with A's husband, I'd shoot him an email with your next planned night out and tell him that you'd like to surprise A with some kind of special gathering; maybe spa time, a wine tasting, some kind of event that you definitely should not be bringing a kid to. Ask him if he could watch…

Tudor history is my JAM. If you want to fall down the rabbit hole, read everything by Alison Weir. She has a few historical fictions, but the vast majority of her work are straight up badass non-fiction histories. She can make the most complicated material read like a story. I am obsessed.

You can tell by the eyes. They always have crazy eyes...

It is a fucked up day when the "bitch" who deserved to die was a young woman looking to help others, and who showed amazing grace in her final letter toward those who kidnapped and ultimately murdered her... And yet the one alive is this piece of shit who spews hatred toward a dead stranger and their family, for no…

Hello fellow Atlantans!
