I didn’t know I wanted that but now I’m crossing all of my fingers and toes for it!

I just thought the exact same thing to myself! Sportsmatic Dirt Bag and still at least 2 Kardashians.
<Picture a Borg "resistance is futile" gif since my work won't allow uploads today.>

I’m sure Bears will be along to comment shortly. :P

I kinda thought maybe we’d get the Deadspin take on Dirt Bag on Jez, but I will accept this sport-themed Dirt Bag on Deadspin instead.

I really want their take on Dirt Bag, though. Or maybe I just really want a Dirt Bag, any Dirt Bag, in which case mebbe I should head over to the Gawker comment section, where at least one kind of dirtbag is bountiful.
Anyway, I got nuttin’ to do at work today, so I’m just going to watch this Deadspin/Jez mashup and…

Florida’s so weird, politically. I lived in a university town for a long time, with plenty of progressives, yet our elected officials were mainly conservative. Now (because I can’t move out of the state without my ex’s approval - thanks, Florida Family Courts!) I live in a larger city that I thought would be more…

I know - the black bear hunt was unbelievable and so terrible. I kept thinking, “no way anyone is going to believe this is conservation” ... but it happened. And now the statewide water policy that just went into effect, also a joke. It just makes me so sad.

Everything about our slimy governor and our Jesus-with-a-machine-gun-on-a-dinosaur, fuck-the-poor-and-women-too, Republican-controlled legislature reminds me of Homer Stokes in this scene from “O, Brother, Where Art Thou?”

I’m with you. I live under Supreme Voldemort Lookalike Scott, too, and more recently, the emboldened state legislature seems to be appealing ONLY to the crazy, retrograde, Jesus with a gun on a dinosaur, screw the poor constituency. They make me rage stroke-y EVERY. TIME. I. HEAR. FROM. THEM.

Totally agree that it would be *great* if this is followed by them actively seeking to be involved in/advocating for more diverse big-budget projects. I will say, though, that the team involved in #BenghaziObamaClintonGateORama was, like most of the most elite US special operations forces, very white. So if it’s a…

Not even a little bitter. By which I mean, “entirely bitter.”

Wellll, then!

Starred because I know how bad it feels to endure a mom like this for 40 years, but more importantly, how good it feels to do well by your daughter because you’ve learned what not to do. Good job. I hope you have not internalized the low self-esteem that moms like this try to give us. <3 Internet hugs from someone who…

All familiar here, too! I’m sorry you’ve had to hear all of these things.
Just tonight at dinner, my mom, knowing I’ve got major dental work ahead because of a side effect of a weird, rare, chronic condition, and definitely aware of how I feel about what’s happening to my teeth ... “Squishy, how are things going with…

I’m so sorry. This is super familiar to me - I’ve heard versions of the same things. I was 10 the first time my mom disapprovingly said, “all the black boys are going to like you.” I had no idea what she meant that time, nor did I realize how racist she’d eventually prove herself to be. At the time, I just knew by her…

Ohhh, where to begin... I know there are other commenters on here who also have mothers with borderline personality disorder, so I’m sure we’ll see lots of familiar refrains here. Hopefully by now, we’ve all gotten better at knowing we don’t deserve it; we’re beautiful inside and out, and we deserve to be loved. <3
So…

Me too. You wouldn’t guess it from the content of the rhetoric that’s getting so much attention lately.
Thankful that this actually garnered protest. Now if the same could just happen with Trump’s comments about registering Muslims... (He’s trying to walk it back now but there’s video of him saying it, so...)

My daughter actually said this once when she was about 3 and yelled “SHIT!!” at the sky. I appreciated her honesty. I appreciated nothing from the Roanoke mayor’s statements.

“I was just trying to get some attention by piggybacking on the Paris attacks. I didn’t know there were enough non-bigots left to notice and get me in trouble.”

Right?! It’s hard to believe that the current incarnation of TLC is even a descendant of The Learning Channel.
