The percentage of pop culture stories I stumble across with names I don’t recognize at all has really started to skyrocket since I became a parent. I was never exactly on the cutting edge of pop culture even when I was a teenager, and I got fuddier and duddier as I slipped into my twenties and early thirties, but I…

I realize you’re probably not, but how can you be in the black and not know what Dirt Bag is?

How about Madonna’s “tribute” to Aretha last night? (Dressed like the Illuminati Queen, no less.) I believe the tribute was titled “Me, Me, Me, Me!” I hope at the Madonna tribute at the VMA’s in 20 years, they trot out Flavor Flav.

Amber Rose’s outfit is the most tryhard thing I’ve seen in a minute.

It's so good three hit songs came out of it. This has been a favorite since childhood.

I don’t like Roman Polanski but Chinatown is a good movie. 

What a dipshit.

Amen. I’m not usually a ‘get off my lawn’ guy, but goddamn, I don’t think younger people (not ALL) appreciate just how rare and good Tracy Chapman’s talent is. Suggesting she go eat a Barbie’s ass is, to me, beyond stupid: it’s hateful. I’m also aware I’m probably waaaay more pissed about it than Tracy Chapman, who is…

Man, Mandy really works that jaw, doesn’t she?  I didn’t know you needed to chew several times in order to get a syllable to sustain.

Hm. 🤔 I never considered Hit Me Baby One More Time as having domestic violence overtones. Could be because I was 17 when the song came out. Maybe Max Martin was thinking of phrase “hit me up.” Anyways, Crazy is the best early Britney song.

I remember the first time I heard Baby One More Time; I was sitting in the back of my Driver’s Ed car, and at first I thought it was a new Robyn song. It has the same up and down beat as Do You Know What It Takes (which can be attributed to late 90s pop god producer Max Martin)

I feel “Baby One More Time” would’ve been really good if done by TLC! Of course it was really good done by Britney, so no complaints. Totally understandable why they refused.

I had to see my wretched family members today. A highly toxic gang, all revolving around my viciously narcissistic mother. My sister is treacherous, villainous, snide, and I hated being around her. I’ll tell you a secret: my doctor prescribed Klonopin specifically for the times where I have to see family members. It…

I am so very sorry. My dogs are like children to me (and I have 3 of those too). 

Just put my dog down and I'm a mess. 

I... (and I NEVER say this)... would kill that little skrelli with kindness. Publically.

I am training my replacement at work. I was not involved in hiring him and—holy shit— this kid is just profoundly unlikable. He has made a series of obnoxious comments to me and has thrown shade at my intelligence. He asked a bunch of very niche hypothetical questions that he could find the answer to if he looked them…

You win the silver lining award!

As much as I hate Kim and Kanye, I’m glad they’re married to each other instead of making two normal people miserable.

Remember kids: See a nazi, punch a nazi!!
