Keep sucking up, maybe you’ll get a t-shirt. Or a cookie.

But then how would we know that he’s special, and super-extra-on-our-side, without, you know, all those funny jokes?

Overcooked meat doubles your chances of getting colon cancer.

I thought this too- I tend to screw up my meds whenever I’m on heavy painkillers, even things I take regularly. I could see messing up meds while taking rec drugs like these, absolutely.

Some of us just don’t like being in large, loud, dark rooms with strangers. Most of these sound great, but I can make my own popcorn and would rather pay too much for just about anything else than do this. PTSD is real.

If all the semi-average Joe needs to do is sell their McMansion in order to start flipping state secrets, well, once Trump crashes the economy he’s in for some nasty surprises. Folks forget about all that flag-waving once they get hungry fast.

Oh, he’s supplementing, all right. He watches three hours of cable news a day. He’s big-league informed. He watches the best people.

Nobody actually has to claim the body. Pauper’s graves are still very much a thing. I’m assuming my mother will set up a pre-need situation for herself, or that my half-siblings will manage her arrangements, but if not that’s certainly what she’s getting.

This commercial always makes me tear up.

“very, very few people in this world would voluntarily up and leave a genuinely good and loving family”

That 8-year old girl was the daughter of an American citizen killed in an earlier drone strike. It’s all fantastic fodder for propaganda, and it’s already being used that way.

Karen Joy Fowler wrote a really extraordinary fictional account of a family engaged in something akin to the Nim Chimpsky experiments a few years back, which bore similarities to this. It’s called We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves and it was up for the Man Booker.

How did the whole Hugo Schwyzer shitshow get missed here?

Side note, has anyone else wondered how much of this character was modeled off of Tim Gunn?

Tahani is what gave away that it couldn’t actually be The Good Place for me. Her motivations were so wrong, AND she was BFFs with Taylor Swift?

The additional “u” stands for fancy! Or... is that “fauncy”?

We manage it, but I think the only reason it works is that there’s just three/ sometimes four of us- a couple and an adult kid + sometimes her partner when they want to pop in. Any more people get mixed into this and I’m pretty sure it would turn into a shitshow.

Oh, and also that sweet, reassuring little hand squeeze between Michelle O and the Marine who walks her down the steps. That entire family is nothing but social graces.

Yeah, but that applies to ANYBODY caring for twins, that sounds like an exhausting endeavor. I’m sure it’s rewarding but DAMN.

It’s really hard, though, because a lot of the news is just so unbelievable. I feel like a wingnut conspiracy theorist just believing some of the actual news these days. America has had some jacked up politics but this is something out of a bad novel.
