I’ve read a lot of horrifying details about scientology, but this is especially disgusting.

That’s his argument!

She looks quite proud of herself, like she knows she’s insanely cute and deserving of attention.

One of my 2 complaints about hamsters is that I can’t float them hedgehog style. The other is that I cannot get them to appreciate baseball. Not even in the postseason.

Infant room at daycare center is out. It is completely normal and acceptable for a baby to prefer to fall asleep or snuggle with a head/hand on a caregiver’s breasts. It is not, however appropriate for that child’s parent to talk about how much his kid loves a caregiver’s boobs. (This happened on several occasions.)…

NO! It’s completely different. You see, Obama was a black man golfing. Trump is white(ish). DIFFERENT. Those calling Trump a hypocrite are clearly idiots who are missing this very basic distinction.

My mom ordered cookie dough from the family across the street. She arrived home one day to find the neighbor pissed at her for not answering the door when she came and dropped off the dough. My mom asked when she had come by, and the neighbor answered that she had tried 3 times just after 9 PM. My mom explained that…

Right? I just... I can’t... in my head there is only a screaming static.

Nope, no matter her subsequent actions, what he did was reproductive coercion. It’s abuse and it fucks with your head.

My PSA for the day: You (general you) would be better off each doing at least six months each of individual therapy before even considering whether to move forward with marriage counseling. You don’t go to marriage counseling with an abuser who hasn’t sought treatment because you can’t repair a marriage if the…

I’m actually still happy with how MFM is going, although you can definitely tell they have a lot going on in their lives. And yeah, I can see how LPOTL can be seen as a bro podcast for people who haven’t listened to more than a few episodes.

Me too. You’ll definitely like their episodes on the Aum Shinrikyo cult that perpetrated the Tokyo subway attacks.

The Last Podcast on the Left has an L Ron Hubbard 4-parter that gets into, among other things, the absolutely extensive cult jargon of scientology. It’s really fascinating.

It is exceptionally good. I was assuming that it would have the typical Black Mirror conclusion, and it was not at all what I expected.

It was Peewee’s big adventure for me. That clown at the start of his bike search, OMG. Between that and Large Marge, I was terrified of that movie.

Yes! While I like Mahty, he’s not as quick to shut things down as Menino was. Menino gave zero fucks and I loved him for it.

I was listening to The Dollop podcast on the Boston busing recently (highly recommended btw), and it really helped drove home the point that this area is not as progressive as I like to think it is. I think that because I’m not black, and more specifically not a black parent with kids attending PBS, I get way too…

Did he miss the fact that she was four when she had a crush on him? Or not care? Or because he’s harbored the same crush on Hilary Duff for decades, does he think that crushes are permanent? Either way, he needs to step away from the twitter.

Yes! She was literally tortured, and continues to receive vitriol daily. Yet she chooses to respond to what the world has thrown at her with hope, self-possession, heart emojis, and a healthy dose of snark. That kind of grace takes hard work and courage.

Seriously! Deep and unwavering denial is how we cope with functioning successfully in a post germ theory world. Especially when we want cake.
