This took me many steps of reverse-engineering to understand as well.

I agree with everything you said! (MUCH love for the Golden Girls!)

I still love it. That doesn’t mean I don’t recognize the many problems it has when I see them, but I still love to watch it. I’ve seen it so many times (and I love me some Miranda and Steve) that it’s the perfect thing to throw on in the background while I’m doing stuff without being distracting (Buffy also works well…

Ah ok. I was trying to think of what would dissolve instantly like that! Thanks. :)

Wait what was that they gave him?

For me it’s the other way around. The children who live in my building make such ungodly noises in the halls that my brain honestly is very alarmed for a moment that some poor animal is dying horribly before realizing no, that’s a child.

That is a horrifying story. Baboons are no joke. I’m not sure what they expected.... but still horrifying.

I have no problems with adult coloring books. I did the Lisa Frank thing as a kid in the 90s and was totally into it because who wasn’t? But my reaction to this is nevertheless....

Scalia and Alito. Two of a kind. The (conservative) ends justify the means. Never mind the dubious legal underpinnings (and rampant inconsistencies) of our positions. We’re, like, totes objective.

Japan’s laws/regulations (or lack thereof) are kinda horrible about pretty much anything involving animals....

...Alito, who places his very conservative political views ahead of settled law all the damn time while going “who, me? Just being rational and objective over here” and then whines like a little baby when the liberals do something he doesn’t like.

omg omg omg best gif

...seriously? A sign in Florida that says “No Swimming” does not mean “grab your toddler and go for it.” :-/ Florida has a lot of potentially dangerous indigenous wildlife. If you’re a tourist, heed the signs.
