I just got a promotion this week (really a pay grade and title adjustment I asked for a year ago and gave up on) on the day before I was planning to tell my boss I’m pregnant.

That’s narcissism for you. There’s a reason he’s been in Freudian analysis for decades—he gets to focus on him him him and how amazing he is. It would never occur to him that people might read those and go DUDE WHAT THE HELL? He thinks of them as musings of a genius.

Oh, a boss like that can be useful, if you know what sort of hype he responds well to (usually PowerPoint with animations), and have a way to ensure that his superior hears about the Shiny! thing of the week (usually via a copy of your PowerPoint with your name removed.)

Yes, he is. That’s why he is going to regret that “perfect” neurological test score when it’s time to assess his competence to stand trial.

I think that’s the point though. You can. We all can, it’s just so fucking hard sometimes. It’s so hard when someone is shitty to you to recognize that they’re probably coming from a place of pain, so we go through a cycle of negativity being shitty to each other around and around. But then if somebody can respond to…

Unsurprisingly, class plays a huge role. And wealthy women beat the US average by a wide margin.

This is one of the reasons that I love the Graham Norton Show. Also why he is the king of these types of show in the UK. He manages to get the best out of his guests with some stuff that can come out of left field. It probably helps that he has all of the guests out at the same time. I’ve not really seen that done…

No nominations for The Good Place or Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, but the insipid Will & Grace revival is up for Best Comedy?

meanwhile didn’t bat an eye when Trump said crazy shit

I remembered that forum with Matt Lauer and screaming at the TV because he was constantly hounding Clinton with questions about her emails and interrupting her....and meanwhile didn’t bat an eye when Trump said crazy shit like how we should be able to take oil from Iraq as spoils of war. Glad to see him go down in…

I can’t believe that you are linking to Amazon and therefore suggesting that people buy this trash. I don’t care how many juicy, greasy receipts Corey Lewandowski serves up, he’s a brutish, racist, sexist piece of trash who manhandled a reporter and did everything he could to get a white supremacist fool into office.…

I see Roker more as a “mind if I masturbate on the houseplant” douche over the rapey kind.

Omg, my mother and I had to school my younger brother on that in a major way a couple of years ago. Somehow Clinton/Lewinsky got brought up in conversation and he was like “Well she was an adult...” and we were like “Uh how about you shut up and listen to us while we explain power differentials to you.”

Stop using deodorant too. That should definitely stop the rapes!

Congratulations! I’m sure it’s beautiful—my bridesmaids dress was elegant and very pretty. That’s exactly the thing with this terrible ad —it’s like this bizarre disavowal of basicness when 1) there’s nothing fucking wrong with being ‘basic’ (though there is with being superior and judgmental about other people’s…

I’m surprised the conservatives haven’t done their history about this “Yankee institution” and created a War Against Thanksgiving which they would fully support.

So the big topic of a Republican Senatorial candidate embroiled in a sex scandal will end with a Democratic Senator being forced to resign. Like clockwork.

Replying to myself because there’re so many enthusiasts here: I’m convinced! Downloading right now and will do some cleaning and self-education tonight. Thank you for what will probably be a new light in my life. This is why Jezzies are the best.

I’ll give you that it’s complicated, but generally speaking nobody is going to raise a fuss if you politely ask a woman you know out once, she declines, and you don’t approach her again.
