I liked the Christian-based calendar thing and I loved the whole bit on Achilles (can’t ANYTHING your Mom does be ENOUGH? Wear a big SHOE!) but oof... the first half hour or so was pretty rough and fell uncomfortably flat. Like someone else said upthread; I got the vibe that headspace-wise he was in a worse place than…

Law & Order is my jam, and can I just say that Mariska Hargitay is my hero. Not only does she work on behalf of real life victims with her Joyful Heart foundation, this is a woman who has held a long time leading role on a hugely popular series for over fifteen years. For a woman in show business that is…

(although neither she nor Lurleen Wallace, who ran as a surrogate for her husband in 1966, were exactly awarded the position on their own merits)

You’d be amazed/depressed at how many couples conceive as a last-ditch effort to save a failing marriage.

Nothing Janet has ever done gave the golddigger vibe, so everybody can have a seat with that nonsense.

Because as a country we looked at what happened at Sandy Hook and decided we were ok with it.

I work in education. These incidents are incredibly hard. Schools are supposed to be safe spaces, and this shit happens too often in general, but especially in schools.

That picture made me want to throw up. We (their elders) are letting them down and it’s so sad.

i saw the picture of the little kids holding hands and immediately teared up. why. how. why.

I assume the other party in the murder suicide was a grizzly bear.

Purple drank. Cough syrup with codeine and sweeteners, typically lemon-lime soda and jolly ranchers.

WTF is lean?! I’m so glad I’m old and don’t need to keep up with this shit anymore.

Yes, I really hate how tragedies like this play right into the hands of the extreme right. We had Breivik kill a hundred in Norway, and some racist asshole walk into a school and shoot every brown person he saw two years ago here in Sweden, and no one thinks to blame every white person or every racist. But after this…

It’s so curious that these conspiracy hunters find themselves - the one time there does seem to be a genuine conspiracy going on - on the wrong side of it and refuse to believe it.

“Shortly after “alt-right” poster-boy Steve Bannon reportedly called Jared Kushner a “cuck,” signaling an escalating battle in the White House between the “Bannonites” and the “globalists,” Donald Trump bucked his isolationist promises and launched a military strike against the Syrian government”

I think it’s simply individual acts of terrorism by assholes.

The first round is later this month. I’m hoping for the best, even tho the Republican is apparently conservative in an American way and not the traditional, French, big-government way. He’s also super-Catholic and against gay rights and abortion rights. This is the best we have to hope for.

I’ve been sitting in my office this afternoon hearing the sirens and chaos outside. I’ve had to feel the complete horror of calling everyone you know to see if they’re safe, freaking out if someone doesn’t pick up. We always feel so safe here, I could seriously not believe it when I saw the news. I was just thinking…

This is an embarrassing look for you.

You sound stupid.
