The moral of this story is: do not happy hour and post knee jerk reactions to Jezebel without posting every single caveat and qualification you can, lest it be misunderstood. :)

Sorry for that impression, just have motherhood on the brain. I also just read an article about the Silk Road owner's mother. Of course fathers are equally culpable.

Of course! Just being a woman and all (despite what people think with my avatar) and my sister pregnant with a boy child, I've got mothering of young men on the brain these days.

I always tend to wonder what the mothers of these sorts of assholes feel like. A complete failure, to start? If I had a son that did this, I'd kill him myself.

Ye gods, I'll never be able to forget the description of "little hand feet"

You are dead on right. My friends are beginning to find me even more insufferable because I primarily watch British TV and don't watch anything "normal" people do. The quality of their TV is astounding.

While I couldn't even make it through the first 25% of the 50 Shades of Grey book, but I was thinking I'd likely see the movie—until I realized that Specktor is the lead dude. He is so CONVINCING as a psychopath.

Kids these days don't know how lucky they are to have a flotilla of different products to try for all textures. Back in my day, the 90s, all we had was shitty LA Looks gel and mousse. Discovering the Aveda line, and then the Deva Curl line were godsends. No more flatiron burnt ass smell in my hair now!! People…

I love reading everyone's speculation about what's going to happen...I guess I'm the only superfan nerd that illegally downloads these while they air in the UK. ;)

"During the divisional championships for the NFL, you'd expect the internet commentary to be focused on the extraordinary games. However, one corner of the internet that some may call 'sketchy' was focusing on something else...(cue music) one man's story of heartbreak and intrigue. Today, on This American Life...."

This hits so close to home—a few years ago I cut my mother off for 3.5 years after giving her the ultimatum to get help for her rampant alcoholism, BPD, and bipolar that she was refusing to get treated for, despite having great health insurance coverage. No one could really understand it, but I got tremendous support…

This is one of my husband and I's fears.

Have I ever mentioned how happy I am this internet shit wasn't a thing when I was a tween/teenager?

$675 to share a bedroom and a house with one bathroom with 3 other people??? Christ Austin's gotten even worse since I left 10 years ago.

Yeah, I'd like to know how weed is worse than coke....the only athletic thing weed enhances is Yoga...so I hear.

I think this should be required listening for anyone on a jury. I took a Criminal Justice course in college that really opened my eyes to the behind-the-scenes machinations of "the system". How many jury exclusions will now be attributed to potential jurors being fans of this podcast?

Dammit Houston Alamo Drafthouse, step up your game and schedule this—we can't let Dallas win this.

Peppermint Bark used to be my favorite Christmas treat. Until the ladies from Broad City ruined it for me by showing it could be deployed as fake herpes.

I'm all for any reason to include Josh Homme, in anything.
