I don’t know if it’s possible to convey how absurd the Strib article going after Shortal is to anyone outside MN.

I want to take a moment for those who live outside of Minnesota to try and express How Very Seriously And Deeply the people here take the Wetterling case. I moved here in 2000, and it was mere weeks before it was explained to me that one left one’s porch light on for Jacob, and how his disappearance was a loss of…

Don’t do it if you’re already a talkative person, it’ll make you insufferable.

It’s true. Don’t try it. It’s been decades, but I still have dreams of using it, and wake up kind of amped and disappointed that it’s not there.

Comedy Central did both a Pam Anderson and a Roseanne roast.

What boggles the mind is that he was a person of interest at the time of the abduction and suspected of sexually assaulting 8 other boys. He also was tied via physical evidence to the kidnapping and sexual assault of another boy, but the statute of limitations had run out.

In the story in my head, the two five year olds swapped their documents. Because having hung out with kids that age, i can picture it super clearly.

This is so gross. I’m a retail manager, and my POS auto terminates people’s shifts at midnight. It’s rare, but we sometimes work later than that. I am required BY LAW to pay my employees for hours worked. It is my job to make sure that time cards are accurate, always.

I’ve been thinking a meteor would be awesome for a while now.

people who never walked to the grocery store have NO IDEA!!! Shit is HARD CORE!! Where are our fucking medals? and goddamn it if you live in a walk up!

Yeah. I’m just gonna back away. I don’t want to be ruining my good move over someone who can’t properly worship Mariah.

Also, she had ceased posting on her website for more than a year (if I remember correctly). It made me wonder if she had some health issues that she was dealing with privately. I loved reading her true crime blog. In fact, I didn’t know she was Patton Oswald’s wife until her death...I only knew her by her writing. She…

Ah strep. The gift that never fucking goes away in my house like ever. For the last 18 years I don’t think I’ve gone longer than 4 months without one of the kids or I having strep - strep throat, impetigo, scarlett fever... you name it we catch it. I’m about 99% convinced dadthecoach is a carrier since he never…

I just want to add that Jim Henson died of the flu. THE FLU. That very same thing that they make a vaccine for, and offer it up practically free of charge every year and STILL people refuse it because “it’s just the flu.”

Thanks for sharing, just went off to read it - was absolutely terrific. A long read, but certainly worth it. I’m a bit teary now, actually.

I told my husband and kids last week that they are under no obligation to care for me if I have Alzheimer's. If I am diagnosed, lets have a big blow out party and find me a home and I will catch up on my soaps.

A really great article on the icon that is Pat Summitt:

I don’t think Martha stumbled onto an article about him. Based on the first tweet it looks like he reached out to her for some reason and she was just like who the fuck are you? And he was all, “Don’t you know who I am?!” And she was like, “I’d like to phone a friend” and asked all of her Twitter followers who the eff…

Ugh I feel the same way, it’s like Martha was created from scratch specifically to thrill me almost every single day. Thrilled by her again, typical Wednesday.
