“I’ve flown with a 24-hour flu”.

This has my vote.

This is all kids stuff, so to speak, next to H.R. Pufnstuf and Lidsville.

Just went on about Paladin of Souls above! Really came out of nowhere and knocked my socks off, I particularly enjoyed the patron/petitioner status people have for the various gods.

I am so mad that nobody has made a Miles Vorkosigan movie or tv show with Peter Dinklage, and now he is getting too old. He’d be perfect. 

Hot take: Miles Vorkosigan is Tyrion but better. 

Lois McMaster Bujold is my favorite author (excepting maybe my avatar’s creator!) and I am so glad she is first on this list. Paladin of Souls, the second novel in the Chalion series of books, is one of my favorite books, ever. I also love Robin Hobb and Naomi Novik, and I read Nimona back when it was still a web…

Of course she wasn't happy, maybe she likes that haircut and hates brushing her hair?

So I may be super wrong, but I always thought part of being a feminist meant supporting another womans right to wear her hair (or clothes, or whatever) however the fuck she wants.  Like whats the point of being a feminist if we’re judging stupid shit like that.  PS I’m a feminist and I’m judging you for judging…

Unless the Jezebel and G/O clocks are set to Standard Time year-round, as all of them should be in the year 2019. Sorry, I’ve the joined the bandwagon that believes that we can live without a clock geared toward WWI-era farming production maximization.

My dad was captain of the track team in the 60s, and coached track and cross for fifty years. I ran competitively for twenty. This sport has been my life since I was born, and this situation is heartbreaking because it’s exposed a lot of ugliness.

I think I would literally pay a small annual fee to keep Trump tweets out of this particular feature at this point.

Great essay, many thoughts. But I was distracted by the word choice absconding when you were discussing Madonna. She's not stealing the title of Pop-Queen, perhaps you meant she's not abdicating her throne any time soon? 

I get this comment so frequently on articles about the Sims and it really makes me fucking crazy. I have a very full life—I have a lot of non-games hobbies, I have a very fulfilling relationship, and I have a job I love. I spend a lot of time with many friends who enrich my life. I have a full life that also happens…

My daughter graduated from college in June of 2018. Of the approximately $140,000 cost (she attended a University of California school), I paid (out of pocket) about $90,000 over the 4 years she attended. Upon her graduation after those 4 years, we financed the rest with loans of which she is paying off about $21,000…

It’s kind of weird that older voters are upset over the idea of student loan forgiveness. More and more of them are being saddled with student loan debt after their kids default:

1993 was the last year an undergraduate could pay a year of tuition through a summer time minimum wage job.

“the people paying for it don’t get any benefit”...
What the actual, living fuck? A raised standard of living to those people has benefits for everyone. Is this a thing we have to explain to adults in 2019? If you’re the 2% of American household who will finally have to pay a more equitable portion in taxes, you will…

“Hundreds of people work very hard. A handful of people in boardrooms get very, very rich.”

Walt’s brother’s granddaughter Abigail had something to say about that just yesterday
