Can’t wait for when this fails because the likes of Manchin and Sinema held it hostage over bullshit concerns, and then the narrative somehow becomes that progressives with their purity tests tanked Biden’s agenda.

I’m a veterinarian, and my daily work exists at the perilous crossroads of emotion and money. It is hard for me, and it is hard for people who love their pets and want to do what’s best for them.

Jeez, Harron. Just come out and say Jez is dead. Julianne’s departure is a bad omen.

I absolutely was this person too; I funded two surgeries at 8k each for my rescue dog (I’m child-free so I don’t feel bad dropping that type of cash because this is my companion and pet insurance covered about 1/3 of it), treated her Cushing’s Disease, her allergies, and whatever else she needed.

8%! Where do you live?

Isn’t her stance that she’s “vaccine-hesitant” and a low-vaccine family? Essentially just anti-vaxx dogwhistles, the basic equivalent of “just asking questions” while continuing to promote the conspiracy theories.

John Oliver is that you?

I respect the fact that you came into the comment section like

You’re welcome:

I’d like to plug You’re Wrong About, whose hosts are intelligent, clever and hilarious (and feminist) and who always offer a POV that’s worth considering. There are a handful based on famous murders, but the gist is events from history that the collective often got wrong. I learned so much more about Kitty Genovese -…

The other reason a lot of people like true crime is that if you have depression or anxiety disorders, it helps to have real examples of doom and horror to compare against your brain’s constant interpretation of everything in your own life being terrible. I like horror movies and books but I prefer true crime because I…

TBH, what bothered me most about My Favorite Murder was the lack of effort, which is so profoundly disrespectful. Learn to pronounce the names of these people, the people involved with a major crime, before making a podcast about them!

Counterpoint: Old glass jars (pickle, jam, whatever) with lids work better. They won’t melt if your used oil is still hot when you pour it in, and they have a wider mouth.

Congratulations! It sound like things are going well.

The cheating ex of a family friend came out as polyamorous when she was caught. She came out with a facebook post of an old picture of her at Pride, and followed it up with a post that polyamorous people are “valid” for “experimenting with nonethical nonmonogamy” before coming out.

In case anyone’s looking for a movie that has a similar vibe, “The Other Woman” (with Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Kate Upton, and the guy who played Jaime Lannister... and Nicki Minaj, in a fun cameo) is a lot of fun. They play a lot of pranks on the cheating man, and find healing and an unlikely bond of friendship…

And if they do go the movie route, who is going to play the villainous player boyfriend?

And if she’s one of the many, many people who just can’t stand to be alone with their own thoughts for any length of time, therapy is probably a really good idea.

Yep. I’ve given up on trying to reply to people who’ve replied to a comment I’ve made. I don’t have the time to scroll through all those comments just to try and find the one. Even then, I’ve found that the reply just isn’t there. I have to imagine they measure comments/replies/replies to replies as equalling some…

I just wrote this whole thing about “no, not in my day” (I’m 47), but then I remembered how I had it bad for Colin Quinn (I am a sucker for an Irishman). Though I wouldn’t call him a standout.
