The best part is that I very recently named a very ambitious, determined woman as Senior VP of the Joke Fact Checking department who will probably be handling the layoffs.

Lay-offs in Joke Fact-Checking Department Inspire Award-Winning Novel About Man Grappling With Masculinity, Identity in End-Of-Men Era

You have no idea how many people I’m going to fire in my Joke Fact-Checking Department. That sort of oversight is unacceptable.

Is this supposed to be some sort of adoring gaze? My dog looks at me like this when I put him in the bathtub.

Saw a billboard for this here in San Francisco and literally thought it was a joke. As in the Pied Piper billboards which they ACTUALLY put up around Silicon Valley.

Supposedly the baby is so supernaturally beautiful that the grown-ass-man werewolf guy immediately falls hopelessly in love with her. I don’t mean like “what a cute baby I will adopt her” love, like adult romantic love.

Okay I didn’t see this movie or read the book, was there a vampire-related reason that they had a creepy Renaissance-baby-Jesus instead of just a kid?

I still love Millihelen! I don’t have a style blog (ignoring your sarcasm quotient, obviously) but I am the Executive Director of a nonprofit agency (read: big responsibilities, little money) and have thought about starting one for power dressing on the cheap. If I get it started, I will send you the link.

What a marvelous clip. Thank you.

:( She’s wonderful. Not only funny, but she was heartbreaking on Sex and the City. I feel like I took her for granted because you’d see her everywhere, but she was never the star, she just did her job and she was perfect.

Sadly it’s not even close for me. I once did a postpartum home visit to find that the infant had died several days before but the mother was still bathing and dressing the little body and frantic because “She just won’t eat.” I suspect this will turn out to be something similar. Grief can do some powerfully tragic…

Absolutely. I’m just reacting to the quote from the police lieutenant, who we can reasonably assume has some responsibility for the fact that this guy was free, saying that, oh, too bad the victim didn’t fill out a piece of paperwork like we told her to because *that* somehow would have acted like a magic shield.

Seems like a good enough time as any to post those rage inducing Vulture graphs charting the ages of Hollywood’s leading actors vs the actresses playing their love interests (with only Tom Hanks consistently defying the ‘decades younger actress’ rule).

It’s a metaphor for Mitt Romney’s whole life: it's been set up in his favor from day one, and yet he still doesn't do much with it.

As much as I always enjoy these “Worst Celebrity Encounters” stories, I’d like to lobby once more for a “Best Celebrity Encounters” post (unless I’ve missed one in the past). I want my best impressions of Ellie Kemper, Bill Walton, John Waters, and Amy Poehler to be confirmed, please and thank you.

I had cause recently to change my voter affiliation to Republican (I’m most decidedly NOT a Republican, but the reasons were good, I promise). When I mentioned it to my parents over dinner while visiting them, my dad silently stood up, took my plate of food off the table, and fed it to their dog.

holy fuck if I read one more thing telling me the only option for dressing a non-skinny figure is some variation of 50s pinup and listing Christine Hendricks as inspiration, my head will explode i swear to god

I wouldn’t wear a maxi dress in San Francisco, though. You would never get the hems clean.
