When I saw that statement, I thought there was probably WAY more to it. It’s likely she didn’t lose those friends due to “conservatism” in the original fiscal sense, but because she was racist and bigoted. The two aren’t always intertwined in a sane and actual democratic society.

You are absolutely correct. It does- and I will take any opportunity I can to share the following “Best of...” because I love to spread joy throughout the intertubes.

This tickles me to no end. Bumbling and inept is how I like my criminal conspirators, frauds, and sundry other criminal types.

Also, so sorry your experiences have been soul destroying. That’s a fucking bummer.

Well shit. I saw your “Speaking as someone who has worked in media...” and I was afraid to read your whole post just in case your 10 years’ experience and actual facts didn’t match my personal opinion (I am well aware of my biases!). I am both saddened to hear the actual truth aligns with my amateur impressions, and…

That happened to my sister in law. Her first baby was a complete delight. Slept 12 hours uninterrupted nightly from day 3, breastfed with zero trouble, hit all the developmental marks and basically was the best model of “perfect baby” you’d ever encounter. Second kid was a total nightmare. Sister in law basically said…

I reject the saintly and joyful fulfillment of motherhood narrative. I have YET to meet a woman (or man) who has not had at least one doubt or thoughts of “This is not what I had been led to believe.”, or the more visceral “Oh fuck, what have I gotten myself into?”.

My hope is they resist it as long as possible and see the failure of all the other sites who pivot- and take it as a message to not make the same mistake. I love this site- the writers are the whole damn point. Video can’t compete.

Hey, LaPierre! Che Guevera posters in dorms don’t mean campuses are crawling with pinkos, you dipshit.

YOU ARE NOT. Who told you such blether? You can wear what you damn please and it will be appropriate.

And not the jocks, because they might be taking steroids. 

Well, that’s different. You must hate our troops. Are you one of those kneeler types?

That’s part of the charm here. The writers (despite the chronic grumbling in the comments sections) have interesting takes and views. I enjoy the content here so much due to the various personalities and points of view of the writers.

Agreed. It could be we’re old folks or something (no!) but I prefer consuming written media- and will give a miss to any posted content that’s via video only. The only time I’ll watch video is if it’s used to support written content.

Seeing way more video content here recently. Please tell me you guys (Jez/Giz/etc. You will forever be the “Gawker family” to me. Fuck you Thiel) aren’t trying to go the same way. Not everyone can watch clips and video at work. While I can do so, I hate receiving content like that. I want to read it. Pretty sure the…

So, you are saying you were as adorable as an anime whale. Which is pretty fucking adorable.

They really are. My best friend had a c-section for her twins and they were beautiful right from the get-go. They don’t have the “deformities” that kids born via the vaginal canal have. I mean, no one looks their best if they’ve just finished a multi-hour long work out session.

Mine was besotted with a styrofoam cup with eyes and a nose drawn on with ballpoint pen and would go into hysterics if he was asked to put it down while he ate. While I thought that was ridiculous, a teddy bear stitched out of chicken skin would definitely be worse. I would confiscate it immediately regardless of how…

JESUS CHRIST!

You are not a monster for hating newborns. Love and hate are not mutually exclusive! Some new parents also hate their own newborns until they form a bond. It’s more common than one might think. It’s natural to be conflicted because they look weird, smell kind of gross, are frightening in their complete dependence on…
