I am only a Moderately Old, and I am insanely envious of the coolness of your youth. We who worshipped Madonna and Cindi Lauper knew we could never approach the glory of Houses of the Holy. (Also, as a thick Southern Goth, I adore your username.)

Serious question from an old: Is this woman’s name pronounced “Charlie Ninety-Ten”? “Charlie Ten-Hundred-Ten”?

Shockingly, women who were victims of sexual violence also shouldn’t get a pass on murdering their children.

They don’t required you to fork over money before you can get in or anything, but yes, an ambulance costs money here, just like it does everywhere else. If you are somewhere with socialized medicine, you pay for ambulances with your taxes.

No finally about it—the Catholic church accepted evolution at least several decades ago, if not even earlier than that. I find it really weird that they went to a Catholic school for this visit; you’d think one of those evangelical “schools” would have been more appropriate.

Smoking plus long periods of sitting? Blood clot is very likely—stand up to stretch, it breaks loose, and a stroke ensues. Very sad.

Oh God, “Three Wooden Crosses.” I cry EVERY TIME.

I think you must be misunderstanding something, although I’ve no idea what. No Americans call Priuses or sports cars trucks.

That would be humor. Sometimes it’s hard to catch on here.

Oh!! Mea culpa. That makes so much more sense. Thanks! Now I can go back to adoring Rihanna’s inability to wink properly—it’s so freaking cute.

“Played soccer on a dirt field”? Oh Rihanna, I like you a lot, but a dirt field? As opposed to all those fancy cement soccer fields we pretentious First-Worlders play on?

I called Burr just this morning to express to him that this North Carolinian absolutely expects him to vote no.

It is a civil violation, not a criminalone. Like how parking in a two-hour sport for three hours will get you a ticket, but drunk driving will get you jail time. Overstaying a visa is *not* a crime in that sense—you don’t go to jail for it.

I really, really hope you meant Melania, not Ivanka. #freudianhorrorshow

THANK YOU FOR THAT. You have made my day.

FUCK YOU, WaPo!

This thread is giving me life on this sad day.

I won’t lie, it looks super warm and comfy!

NPR said yesterday that they are flying to Palm Springs for a vacation—it didn’t sound like they were staying for any events.

Both. She is an awful actress playing an awful character.
