That is DEFINITELY the dealbreaker. Haven’t worn them in 25 years and never will again.

Her face looks . . . different? Has she fallen victim to the usual celeb plastic surgery bullshit?

Wow, that was fascinating! And terrifying for me personally, what with the whole tight-spaces-and-water thing.

Everything you said, exactly.

That Bieber thing - hooo boy. I give them 18 months tops.

Most likely a good amount of both.

Cannot believe I had to scroll this far before someone made this comment.

I understand this. It is a tremendous responsibility to raise a child with an extraordinary gift and there are so many people wanting a piece of her/him.

God yes! I would feel AWFUL knowing that I had made my child suffer more than they needed to.

You’re not wrong. People are THE WORST.

The timing of your comment is perfect - I need to make some curtains for a little window in our sunroom and this idea is just right! Thanks for the inspiration!

For why are these women sitting on a beach of ROCKS? That cannot be nice for one’s nethers.

Rep. Lewis is a giant and a genuine hero for this country. I’ve read every biography and article about him that I could ever get my hands on. He is tireless and powerful and I am consistently appalled at how few of my fellow white Americans know nothing about him.

re: your headline - Good! 

What is a “hotep”? I’m genuinely asking. 

Fucking Sean Hannity. Blockheaded piece of garbage. I loathe a lot of these right-wing turds, but my level of disgust for him is particularly high. I hope I live long enough to see him brought low.

Sorta tangentially related - I recently read this excellent book, “Mothers of Massive Resistance” by Elizabeth Gillespie McRae, about the role that white women played (and still play) in maintaining the white-supremacist power structure. VERY eye opening for me. And absolutely crucial, as you and others have pointed…

Vinegar-based North Carolina BBQ sauce is the only acceptable kind. Sweet and/or tomato-ey and/or mustard based sauces are a waste of calories.

This makes me happy beyond words.

Oh God. I’m so, so sorry that happened to your loved one.
