My deepest condolences to the family for the pain and emotional turmoil they’ve been through. No one deserves that.

Just re-read it (*sobs* as I remember how much I miss Gawker, which I usually try not to think about, like 99.99% of everything now) and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to eat a fried mozzarella stick, or look at one, ever again.  

As a while woman who is in the worst shape, physically, I’ve ever been in my life (thanks, Trump!!!) there is literally no situation that could happen where I’d either call the cops or make enough fuss to be caught on camera.

Not related to car sales, but totally related to how bafflingly quickly things can go off the rails in an exchange for apparently no reason at all.

This. THIS. I have so many, many friends, good people, solidly liberal, smart, from all parts of the socio-economic spectrum, who are literally clueless. Clueless about the news, clueless about voting, elections, candidates, mid-terms, the whole fucking thing. You know why? They don’t watch the news, they aren’t…

Ossoff, while not progressive exactly, barely lost to Handel, and it was Pelosi’s endorsement that did it. Establishment, centrist right Dems, the DNC, and the DCCC are more damaging to young up and comings on the left than platforms themselves. Try again.

This is beautiful; pure reason. I love it.

Wanna know why so many Democrats are handing out untenable responses to this issue? This is why

From someone who has 20+ years experience as an editor, copy editor, proofreader, etc. whose (very good) ability to parse and eradicate spelling, grammar, and syntax errors in quite a few languages that was let go “because the company wasn’t making any money” and therefore they could no longer afford looking literate,…

From what I’ve seen, there are two main fronts of defensive response by Trump supporters. The first is the “They broke the law and involved their kids, they shouldn’t have brought them to the border,” defense, which sidesteps or ignores the horrific results (tearing children away from their parents by lying to them…

Why I drink at home, listed in order of importance:

HOORAY HOORAY HOORAY. I thought Ghosted was cancelled. We loved it, warts and all, then it was just gone, you guys and everyone else bet it was cancelled, just one more disappointment in a shitty year. Best news I’ve had in weeks. HOORAY.

Yep. Dunno if these jewels are native Floridians or just visiting but, having grown up there and fled as soon as I was legally able to do so, the state is chock full of the worst, trashiest, most hate- and anger-filled wastes of space in the country. Here they are screaming racial slurs at black people. Then, they’ll…

I really, really wish a whole lot of folks would just not watch national news for a while, for their general health and well being as well as to pull the fangs from the gravy train. We are stuck in an emotionally abusive relationship with the narcissistic personality disorder that is our current president. That…

So, this is not really at all on topic, just something I’ve been grappling with for two years now. My parents divorced when I was very young and my dad remarried, became very religious/evangelical because his new wife was, and when my brother and I went to visit each summer our lives changed radically because of all…

You know who carries zero credibility these days? Anyone who claims to “know for sure” the outcome of any political election, anywhere, for any reason. I am sick to death of so-called experts, polls, metrics, demographics and all the other things that people use to predict outcomes, because for the past year and a…

Um, ok. Just Googled your claim she worked for a predatory lender. Nothing popped, which doesn’t refute your statement, just means it didn’t make much news. But as for how Evans has directed her energy during her legal career, she won one of the largest private lawsuits against Medicare fraud in history, recovering…

There is a reason Stacey Evans has so many AA politicians backing her, Abrams has made a *lot* of enemies during her tenure in the state legislature, mostly among AAs. And the Abrams campaign is going after them in a nasty, vicious way, and rightfully getting called out by both local AA news anchors and Georgia AA…

THANK YOU. I get it, the optics of having the first black female governor of Georgia are catnip for a lot of folks. But most of the rah-rahs for Abrams (not to mention her campaign funding) are coming from out of state. Those of us who LIVE HERE are hearing about the many, many enemies Abrams made amongst AA…

Your dad probably just sidestepped the whole parenting shit show by language choice. I have a kid, I work with kids. Language and how you frame talking to kids is the key. Examples:
