This seems to be on the same developmental track as my diet and weight loss was in 2007- it’s now 2020, and I’m *almost* there. I believe we will both eventually realize our goals. In 2022.

So... I will say that Dolezal still has to be the all-time champ, as she grifted her way to being the head of the NAACP having fooled a bunch of real black people. Everyone else is still vying for second. I think to beat that you’d need to fake your way into being the president of Morehouse or some shit.

Man, I’m sorry you had to go through that, and I imagine if I was in your shoes I would have done exactly the same thing. Glad you ended up getting a second. :) My dad, who is an ob/gyn, always says the greatest blessing one can ever have is having healthy children.

Since I have never done it the way that you have I can’t speak to how it feels to have medical personnel tell me eight months before hand, but I can tell you how it feels to 1) be told and 2) ten seconds later have that child in your hands at the same time. It. Is. Epic- because it’s not like you’re not wondering and…

I’m definitely anti digital theft/piracy, but for people like Cohen and Bolton who are profiting off of being accessories to this horrific criminal enterprise with tell-all books rather than, I don’t know, giving meaningful testimony to congress to have this asshole removed- fuck all of those guys and steal all of…

While I think gender reveal parties are really fucking stupid, the primary reason why we didn’t find out the sex of any of our childrenis that the traditional “gender reveal” of your child, i.e. the doctor in the hospital room saying “it’s a girl!!” is one of life’s few remaining great surprises. I get that people are…

Once again, this shitshow is exhibit AAA of the importance of bodycams in police work. People given weapons and the discretion to use them should be the most accountable people in the system by far, and relying on merely their word and the word of witnesses present was acceptable when we had no other options- but in…

This looks like some ridiculous nonsense and I am pretty much already 100% committed to wasting my money on it because the six year old in me will. not. be. denied.

There is one on I-75 somewhere between Tennessee and Ohio; at least there was as of 4 years ago- we stopped there while driving back from grandma’s. It was like the late 70's/80's I remember were preserved in amber, down to the jukebox. Reasonably sure the pizza was that old as well.

Wasn’t there a seriously funded toy component to this series?

OMG Rickety Rocket, the most retroactively racist cartoon from the ‘70's!! I fucking loved that show; weren’t too many other cartoons on tv that starred any people of color (The Cosby Kids being the one noteable exception) but those kids and their jive talking ghetto-assed spaceship had my attention during the…

Man, all I can think of when I watch these commercials is the hours of utter garbage us 70's kids watched. Loved every shitty minute of it, too.

Sometimes bad things happen to bad people and the only thing to do is have a nice hot cup of cocoa with extra whipped cream.

Having had that job at Toys R Us during Christmas season, I can 100% disagree- there was nothing soothing about chasing carts around a sloped parking lot in super cold sleet that was just not cold enough to be snow. It was miserable work that would have been made far better if people were considerate enough to put the…

They really should; I run the municipal division in my county and our office decided to just flat out make pretty much every minor offense we could go away- red lights, minor misdemeanor disorderly conducts, speeding tickets, and a variety of other status/malum prohibitum crimes where there were no actual victims and…

Whew. From the illustration I legit thought that they were introducing a new sundae that involved a chicken nugget layer, and I was dreading the inevitable likelihood that I’d have to try it like I do every other garbage thing that I shouldn’t eat ever.

I’m still agog at the exclusion of the “cow” floats (grape & orange sodas) as they are quintessential floats from childhood, or the cream soda float, or the coke float, which some people are saying is Donald Trump Jr’s fave. These are all imminently worthy.

I think you could add to the list people in that group; people who don’t necessarily litter but who create work for other people when it would take so fucking little to, you know, NOT. The best example of that are people who leave their trash in the movie theater- cups, wrappers, partially eaten food, straws- that…

The first time I truly appreciated the cart dilemma is when I worked at a Toys R Us the Christmas before I went to law school- we were open until one in the morning, and had this massive, sloping parking lot where the carts just wanted to run away from you all of the time. Many a bleary Ohio night was spent…
