I saw my 89 year old auntie yesterday at the rest home. I don’t tell her everyone’s dead and gone. Her husband is dead. Her brother is dead. Her sister, my mother, is also dead.

She probably didn’t pay for a meal for decades. We all should be so unfortunate.

That paragraph is so haunting. That’s how I felt/feel when struggling to regain some sense of normalcy after the worst of a depressive phase has passed.

Everybody loves gossip. Nobody loves a gossiper.

Yeah, my grandmother is 95, living in a nursing home thinking my dad (her son) is her husband and is living with “some woman (My mom, they divorced over ten years ago) and don’t you think I wouldn’t find out.”

Well, now you and Bobby Finger and the rest of Jezebel editors have been warned.

By all measures I’d say she won the game of life.

She literally had a column on name recognition alone and that’s saying a LOT in the age of the Internet. Gossip moves quick.

I think that happens to all old people. They’re searching for a glimmer of what they call their real self. They’re boring, mostly.

I don’t know. I read that article this morning and was surprised at the number of comments about it being “sad.” IMO, just the fact that Smith is 94 years old and has enough mental acuity to be aware of her irrelevance automatically makes it not sad. What is unfortunate is that she only defines herself by what she…

I’ll start. I don’t see the issue. This is the fluff-tone that women’s magazines have been selling for decades (that Cosmopolitan would call them on it might be particularly risible). There are people (not of any particular gender) who want their news in a digestible sound bite in order to: feel somewhat informed; and…

“For now, the women are using their aggressive positivity to float above the negative press”

And he didn’t get the 306 he keeps claiming. Officially, he came in at 304 after a couple of defections in the EC.

Did you see how fast he blamed someone else when backed into a corner with facts? That was really satisfying to watch.

I misread this and expected to hear someone yell “baby hands” during the press conference. I was disappointed.

Shout-out to Peter Alexander for calling out baby hands claim about winning the biggest electoral college since Reagan.

“there’s ever been a president elected who in this short period of time has done what we’ve done.”

Dr. Phil is Oprah’s biggest mistake. He talks about family values all the time but I saw his family in Vegas. Trashy.
