I feel the *exact* same way. Each of my pets have been unique, and I feel like loving them involves respecting that. No animal could ever replace the one that passed last year, and that’s as it should be.

One of the beautiful things about non-cloned animals and humans is that we stretch ourselves to love different personalities, different quirks, and different ways of being. This is how we evolve.

“It has an open-door policy that is meant to encourage employees to report questions or concerns...”

Always, always, always remember that HR is there to protect the company, not you. If someone sexually assaults you at work, call the police, call a lawyer, THEN call HR. Don’t rely on HR to do anything to protect you.

Okay but can we talk semantics? Is it because I am an old that these are yoga pants:

Thanks to both jez and deadspin, esp, for staying on top of this coverage.

Oh, brother, “Greatest Show on Earth?” Son, this ain’t even the greatest show in Pasadena or wherever your raggedy ass is getting drunk this week.

This. I got into an argument with a male friend. He asked what he could do. I said step in next time you see a woman catcalled on the street or bothered at a bar or touched on the subway. He said ok. I asked him a month later if he’s done it. He said no. He said he didn’t witness any sexism. We live in New York City…

Kid Rock wanted to call his concert the “Greatest Show on Earth,” but it was, er, taken. [The Blast]

Yeah, I find it hard right now to trust any famous guy. For some old reason.

My kids love “challenges” like “Hey, can we do the pringles challenge?” which is when I apparently buy every flavor of Pringles and then blindfold them and make them eat them and test them on how many flavors they get right. Or the Oreos challenge. Or the Ben & Jerry’s challenge. These are all on YouTube. I am being a…

I’d like to formally announce the Critical Thinking Challenge

I am genuinely horrified that anyone is covering who a goddamn 13-year-old is “dating.”

I feel you on this. I have OCD. I’ve lost count of the times people say something like “Oh I’m so OCD!”

I once had an argument with a friend about this, and it ended the friendship. She was saying something like “I’m so bipolar today”, and I responded with a dry “yeah, I wish I wasn’t”. She lost it, got super defensive about how it was ok that she’d said that because she “gets” me and loves me. It wasn’t her using the…

When politicians talk about the economy, they talk about the stock market and corporate profits.

This is going to be Paul Ryan’s epitaph...

Trump has a “history of breaking decorum with remarks on race, ethnicity.”

Try being Gen X. We don’t exist.

What, they don’t have the ‘if you have sex you’ll get AIDS and get pregnant and DIE’ classes out there?
