The part he doesn’t want to say is that abusers like the pastor should face some kind of fall out, but since he’s an abuser too he doesn’t want to back that too hard. 🙃

How are you going to run truck stop-gas stations and have reservations about how the employees bodies look? 

Loads of these stories involve being threatened so I wouldn't mistake following orders to meet up again as a happy consensual thing necessarily. 

49 with five children between the ages of 5-15... 😐

She looks like she should star in Pixar’s Inside Out as a mood character, maybe Greedy.

I don’t think she was being literal about the sex clown thing. She was likely trying to illustrate that people want a fake hypersexualized straight off the cover of Playboy version of her in the way that children run up to clowns asking for stickers and balloons, when she’s just trying to eat her food. 

Just surprised Shailene has gotten this much mileage out of her post-American Teenager career. I remember watching it and thinking she’d quietly retire like most of the 7th Heaven cast but I really underestimated the power of eating clay and embarrassing yourself for a man.

“...It’s usually about catering to them, and there has to be a balance.”

I promise you that whatever public housing or motel that the government would put DV victims up in would not be super accommodating and not a score. My state already provides motel rooms to victims for a few days if they are in danger and you would not envy the person who has to risk possible bed bug infestation…

It’s possible that the parents have too much going on to have spent any significant amount of time potty training. Dad has prior convictions and still has a gun in his home, somewhere the child can find it and walk out with it...

It sounds like part of the story missing is that in the days leading up to the shooting a child had brought “gold bullets” to school, which is probably what prompted the search.

I don't hate it, but the colour really makes or breaks it. The Haim photos look bad because the black isn't working with the pastel. However, the zipper skater dress on the website actually works and gives Orphan Annie red and white dress vibes. So I do welcome this trend working its way down to my income bracket. 😹

As a Miley Stan, no. No, 2023 is not the year of Miley. She is a great live performer and I enjoy the albums, but it’s sort of become her thing to ceremoniously dump the album era almost immediately after the release. She will drop the single and then the album, and we can expect an article within the month that she…

Everything else aside, the man is 85 and supposedly pretty blind. He must be broke if he still has to go on tour and pretend he is Dave Chappelle.

The thing nobody talks about is that it's actually Julien & Luc you should watch Emily in Paris for. 

Ah the irony of having to ask permission from your parents to not become a parent...

I feel very fortunate to having never attended an Xmas event where mistletoe was even a thing. 

It is easy to forget Chicago is Midwest, because Nebraska and a handful of other states that better fit the implications here are also Midwest. Chicago is not Paris or Milan but they are still very stylish. 🤷

It might be a bit late, and I’m not going to listen to any podcasts so I may be missing the ick here, but from this write up it sounds like he is atleast reeling in the dickheaded stuff he could have said. I don’t doubt that some of that stuff still lives in his head but part of the point of sobriety is to give…
