The problem that looms is not just indifference to religion, it’s not just ignorance about religion,” he added. “There’s also growing hostility to religion, or at least the traditional religious beliefs that are contrary to the new moral code that is ascendant in some sectors.

I am more sympathetic, I guess. I think the article is about living with shame, disappointment, and fear of being judged for “letting yourself go.” Look at the recent coverage of Kelly McGillis. Well-known people are not allowed to fall into obscurity when there is news to be made for showing unflattering pictures.

Revenue-generating sports. I’m goddamn sick of the sexism. Maybe we stop paying college coaches so much? Just a thought.

Oh, how I love these people who claim that women are too immature to make a decision on abortion but totally mature enough to bear and be solely responsible for raising a child. I mean, honestly, raising a child isn’t that hard, right? It’s not like it demands endless patience and superhuman juggling skills, right? It’…

Maybe people will tell me I’m missing the point, but...if the test you’re using can be fooled by a bagel, maybe you should find another test.

Better than the job he’s done in these FB films where he performs “awkward” so badly people genuinely think the character is meant to be autistic.

If I wanted to hear insincere waffling about social progress from an Old Etonian, I’d watch literally any Boris Johnson press conference.

Well see what happened is that she shot sex scenes for the show, and she spoke about her experience with it to someone who was writing a book.

I mean, the show needed an everything coordinator, really.

This is a secondary tale, but it’s always stuck with me. People, cherish your dogs.

That was really good, and should’ve been the lead story instead of the War & Peace length novel exploring the ins and outs of newspaper delivery that we got.

My favorite one from this year was the “time rub” story, where the author’s grandmother saw her friends, from the future, in her living room during a bad electrical storm. Her friends (in the present day) saw her grandmother, from the past, where her living room used to be at the old farm ruins.

I wonder where all the people went who roasted me and others on a previous article for merely suggesting Laundrie was the one who did it. People actually defending him, saying its too soon to tell and that SHE might have taken off on HIM, because he told police she hit him. (meanwhile she’s got scratches and a witness…

Wow! you were able to see him! Do you think it was his dead twin brother trying to communicate with him through the ouija board?

Wtf?! Did she have some sort of master key? And what was she doing?

This happened when I was living in Chicago in 2015 in a three floor walk up apartment building. Only 3 units that shared the stairwell - mine being the middle. One night I was in a hurry to meet friends for a night out. Around 4am, my boyfriend and I came home very drunk to my apartment door wide open. We went through…

This isn’t my own story, but my dad’s - and my dad isn’t a liar. He’s experienced a lot of wild things taking odd jobs out on the road throughout his twenties, but this story happened right in my Indiana hometown when my mom was pregnant with my older sister. We lived in the country, and there was a hairpin turn on…

Another one that proves truth is scarier than fiction...

Posted this to a different website a couple of years ago but deleted that account, figured I’d add to all the tales here that I’ve enjoyed reading. Anyway, here’s the story:
