I’m an oncologist and have had multiple patients tell me that they got whatever diagnostic test (mammogram, chest CT, etc.) that led to their cancer being discovered because their dog kept sniffing/pawing/whining around that body part.

I train detection dogs, and I’m not surprised. The stuff they can detect is amazing. Some little-known uses of detection dogs include sniffing out hidden electronics (including small ones like thumb drives), sniffing out the disease that causes colony collapse in beehives, finding cancer, and of course working as…

I trained my dog to shit in a box because I lived in an apartment.

They’re cats. They aren’t respectfully anything. Cats only do disdainful.

Sitting on a Board of Directors; or a capital-P Philanthropist, perhaps one who is also “passionately involved in raising awareness of/advocating for” climate change/world hunger/wildlife preservation, while simultaneously having half his fortune invested in companies that perpetuate inequality and never calling out…

Yes! It’s bittersweet and lamenting at the start, and the first time you listen to it you don’t (well I didn’t) even realize the music is starting to swell and it flips on you and you end up with this totally joyous feeling? It’s my favourite six minutes on any album ever, probably.

I feel you hard right now. I’m in the same boat with my dad. Sending love your way!

Not to be dramatic, but I also burst into tears at “we’ll be alright.” It felt like the first time I believed it in a long time.

Yeah... that part sucks. If it makes you feel any better, Doja’s been signed to her label since before the whole Kesha/Luke rape/abuse scandal unfolded, and I doubt she had much say in the matter if she wanted a music career and to not breach contract. I prefer to give Doja her due, and instead blame him and Sony for…

No one else in prison gets to go to an actual hospital for having high blood pressure. You have to be actively dying, and even then, they’ll probably just ignore it. How do I know? My mom is incarcerated in a federal prison and has every health issue under the sun, which they do fuck all about. High blood pressure!?!?…

Here you thought I was a man, where I am, in fact, a cruise ship.

Cruise ships themselves are festering, floating, piles of germs. Having said that, if cruise lines got rid of the dreaded “single supplement”, I’d be a face mask wearing cruise queen.

And then everyone is surprised when they melt down and have episodes like Brittney Spears and Amanda Bynes, which just increases the spotlight and the thumb pressing down on them, just worsening the problem. 

I remember back when Television Without Pity existed, the guy who played her dad on Heroes wrote a brief series of articles for the site. One was about her and her real father, who was every bit as bad as Lohan’s or Megan Markel’s, and entitled “The Media Wants To Destroy Young Women.”

Agreed. Framing her as a bad mother is really cruel. And ironically, not seeing her kid and leaving her to be raised by her ex and his mother is probably the best thing she could do as a mother, rather than keeping her with her and exposing her to her abusive relationship and putting her at risk.

I’m older than JLo by a couple years. I feel like everyone complaining that the show wasn’t appropriate must be a lot younger, because when I was very small, you had Goldie Hawn and some other women dancing around in bikinis every week on Laugh In, with slogans written all over their exposed skin, and Dean Martin had…

Then why reading Superbowl things.

Nobody cares, Michael.

I’m not a sportsball fan, but I tuned in just to see the halftime show. I legit choked up when I saw JLo wrapped up in the Puerto Rican/US flag, the kids in cages, her daughter and that kid’s choir joining in for a few lines of “Born in the USA.” I thought all of this was the biggest F-U to the Trump administration…

The children in the cages was a powerful image.
