My last grandparent died when I was 21 years old, the first before I was born. I am also shocked when people have grandparents when I am nearing 40 years old.

I have the same reaction to “adults” with grandparents. Mine were all gone by the time I was 19.

Your family sounds amazing.

I say to hell with it! Get a weird massage if you want to!

SMALL CLAMS COURT

Trash me if you want but I think that’s super cool of Clooney to have done that and I applaud him for doing it.

A Fox News poll recently gave Democrat Doug Jones a stunning 10-point lead over Moore, while most others show Moore polling a few points ahead of Jones. Either way, that’s a whole lot of Alabamans who are fine with this.

Franken is a Senator, a long time public figure, and an adult. The allegations against him are credible and point towards a pattern of behavior. We hold adults, public figures, and politicians to a higher standard and we recognize that repeated behavior is more serious than one-offs.

Tch. Resign? Yeah, this is why, to quote that first episode of The Newsroom (simpler times), the left always fucking loses. So willing to shoot itself in the foot at the first bump in the road, even though they kind of need their feet to get away from the car trying to fucking run them down.

As someone who was sexually abused over many years, I can say with some authority that when you call MIMING TOUCHING someone’s breasts sexual assault you diminish the experiences of all of us who have actually been assaulted. I too am wildly disappointed with Al Franken and agree that picture was FUCKED UP- but IT’S…

I think the pic isn’t sexual assault. It is def sexual harassment. I suppose you could make the argument that it is objectively “less bad” than assault. But I think that’s a tricky argument to get into because both sexual harassment and sexual assault are coming from the same societal problems re: treatment of women.…

I think these celebrity interviews are pretty boring, but the thing that immediately struck me was how there are never two women on a late night stage like this! It felt really different. In a good way. Sigh.

I legit thought she was Courtney Love

Yeah, but six years later you have pretty much the same thing...

Your friend’s hair grew back differently because of the chemo, not because she shaved her head. It doesn’t happen often, but it’s not unheard of.

when she was 14-years-old

“Will have” is litigation-speak for “I already have this but I’m not going to admit it because I want to see if you turn it over in discovery because if you don’t, then I’m going balls-to-the-wall after your ass. In the alternative, I don’t have anything but I want to make sure that whatever you do have gets turned…

True, but if she couldn’t make the fricative sound and decided to sub a glottal stop (when you just stop your voice at the level of the vocal folds) it can sound like a /k/. I agree it’s a bit of a stretch, but does make sense.

It does if you keep your face immobile and do not engage the tongue completely to form a hard k. The i trails off into what could be an s or a k/c. When they say they heard her say Derek/Eric it does not mean they heard a clear hard k sound at the end of the name. They were trying to interperet what she said, her…
