It looks like a leech. What an ill-advised decision from a man so acclaimed for his history of great decision-making!

Don’t worry about it. They have to EARN that capital letter!

Oh yes. The mascot really makes the difference for me when it comes to enjoying the sport. This is not an asinine take at all! Thank you for pointing out that line and giving new depth to my derision, Gil (no sarcasm).

Guessing Gotch thought Enzo was pulling some improv kayfabe. I’m sure he felt terrible once he realized Enzo was really incapacitated.

Nesting arrangement - my ex and I did it for several months while our divorce was finalized, then went to a traditional joint-custody-in-separate-houses deal. If you’re amicable enough with your ex I can’t recommend it enough. It made the divorce transition much smoother for our kid, which is what we really wanted.…

I don’t even tweet but I want this hashtag to become a Thing. People don’t use the word “fickle” enough and this made me laugh

Yeah, but any person who becomes bilingual as an adult rather than growing up speaking multiple languages has learned the rough lesson that there’s more to learning a language than grammar and syntax. It’s possible to speak another language academically well, but to miss out on cultural nuances with disastrous…

I haven’t lived in Boston for 20 years, but your in-character comments always take me back. The jury is out on whether that’s a good thing, although there is still a lot I miss about Boston...

I knew what this was, but still clicked to play it and laughed out loud just like every other time. The way his tail deflates at the end kills me.

Cashier at the gas station just loudly asked me what I was doing for this holiday. I’ve been at work all day and I didn’t even put it together what day it was, so when I expressed confusion he yelled “4/20 bro! You gonna get high tonight or what?!”

Very eloquently said, and totally accurate.

Right? And the only other term coming to mind right now is “sunk cost fallacy."

I do, but only as sarcasm, like on the days I leave the house to realize my cowlicks are fighting back so my hair is standing up, I have toothpaste on my shirt, and oatmeal on my pants, and an errant Dora the Explorer sticker on my butt. This is known as every day, bc I’m a mother.

This is perfect.

Agreed - I’m an old so I think social media fixation is kind of silly, but this is actually an interesting use of Snapchat. There are plenty of people who use it to obsessively document much more mundane lives than this.

Agreed, it was a fun ride on both sites. I made the mistake of looking at the grey comments in Deadspin on the fantastic takedown of Rudy and was dismayed by all the butthurt misogynist dudes losing their minds, which was a downer. Why must I be lumped in as a grey with those assholes? Boooo!

My dad used to wear those short shorts in the early 80s. And mesh tank tops. He is the world’s hairiest man, so my mom was always horrified, but I like to think I get my “idgaf, I’m comfy” style from him.

I don’t mind Daniel Tiger in the grand scheme - it’s certainly no Caillou, for instance. But I will say the intense repetitiveness of the episode’s songs wears on me a lot. Then again, I’m not the target demo, and my 3-year-old loves repetition. She loves it! She loves repetition! It’s the repetition she loves.

Just setting up for the future spin-off! They’re smart, these showrunners.

Right? This confuses me too when my kid watches it. Of course, I’m the idiot who never put it together that it was the young characters’ PARENTS that were based on the Mr Rogers puppets - I thought it was the main characters themselves who were, bc I’m an idiot - so I’m clearly not good at thoughtful analysis of…
