Your remarks remind me that I need to read up on autism. A friend’s son was diagnosed, & have no idea how to approach it. They seem to be doing great (thank god his parents are too bright for the “vaccines-Evil” crowd), but literally, all I have to go by are proud-dad pix of their kid doing martial arts, etc! It’d be…

This is just one reason I love having two cats! When the occasional errant waterbug drops by, it’s screwed: Street-rescue Mom guards the perimeter & her Cub does the wetwork. (My role is to cringe way behind them, screaming ‘kill it with KITTEN FIRE!’ then—at game-over stage—remove the body so they can’t eat it).

I dunno...

! That was an awesome thing to do. Thanks!

Maybe my 2 kittahs are simply too fabulous for Jezebel? The larger of my two attempts was at most 550kb... oh, well; here’s one last attempt, in honor of their elite group of dedicated fans.

Me too. Maybe it’s ‘cause I’m a Gray (commenter, that is; not an operative of the NWO)? As an occasional visitor, have no idea how that works, but it’s tragic that Jez kitty fans are denied the sight of my amazing kittahs’ adorable butts.

If this pic uploads—even if it doesn’t—kittah butts are the best.

Kitty-butts are the BEST.

In Manhattan, the occasional alert always seems wonderfully melodramatic. It’s like, “’scuse me! You have my zip, right? The odds that I’ll be flooded-out by this rain, or get bonked on the head by falling branches?—they reealy aren’t enough to warrant the screechy siren noise...”

Ohhh. Maybe it’s because I grew up in Florida, but in 1981, the only computer on my HS campus lived in one of our Math Rooms (or ‘The Math Lab’ maybe? Could be selective amnesia—especially as my IQ dropped 30 pts whenever I opened a math textbook :(

But will they start using Weather Emoticons? A weather rebus would be awesome.

Wish some wise soul had warned me in the 90s about white girls getting weaves. A friend at my 1st workplace talked me into it, so I, too, could have hair hanging down to my butt.

I believe you! My aunt is a progressive democrat in Ft Worth. She & her fellow FW dems seem to get along really well, & in 80/09, all of them fit in her house—with plenty of elbow room—to party on the primary/gen election nights. I keep imagining that on those nights, there was like, one small suburban house with…

Thanks for expanding on this. It’s tempting to see what Talese can legitimize simply by weight of his GOM status, but your remarks conveyed enough to make it unnecessary for for me—& surely others as well—to click on the article! :)

Then it was worth finding... I guess? This should be a hoax, but state governments have boundless reserves of Crazy—& Mo, Kansas, Tx must lead the pack (& nb, this is the sentiment of a Florida native :(.

Did you really have to prompt me to look? Thanks—this almost makes it merely comedic:

W’all—as a person who lacks a TV, & wouldn’t watch KUWTK even if she had one—if a daily news/goss site ignored the K—shians, they’d be editing my view of the world.

Re the whole “Gen X,” “Y” trend—is anyone else even slightly alarmed about what happens after we nominate “Gen Z?” Granted, it wasn’t great to be a child of the “Me Generation”—but at least it didn’t feel like End-Time, Dr Strangelove-type, kiss-your-arse-goodbye stuff...

Eh, she didn’t hurt the dude—& better he hears it sooner, in a safe collegiate environment—than, like, years later, on the street.

Unless allowances exploded at some point after my youth, the primary market—teen girls & college students who hate coffee—will stick with No-Doz/Vivarin or the contents of a parental medicine cabinet (ohhh, tenuate! My best-friend’s mom’s bff & mine ;)...
