I am also like "man it would be terrible to have a mom like his but...if an Imperial tool doesn't deserve Eedy, who does?"

I have become so invested in scorn for that guy that when I saw him in that outfit I said "bet he had that high collar specially tailored so he would stand out."

Same tho

"No, that's Big Possum, you can tell by the shape of his nose, which is less pointy than Little Possum."

"Hello, it's so nice to meet you...oh, that's right, we worked together for three years."

I do not know if it is normal, but I can affirm it's not unique.

It really is.

Tonight I was talking about a party 20+ years ago where my ex-husband had lost his shit and started tearing things up. People kept coming to me and saying "we need you to stop him," and that "he stopped being my problem at the divorce," felt like freedom.

Have fun at the hardware store! I like to go to the grocery store to pick up half price veggie platters and shrimp.

Other friends have pointed out that it's easier to get into fancy restaurants for an early Valentine's Day.

I hope the Super Bowl is a good day for everyone, however they do.

It's definitely on the list of "Hey, if you have fond memories attached to this movie, don't rewatch it."

I keep finding dividing lines between the 'good' and 'bad' GenX, and one of the biggest is "ones who say 'that did not age well' vs ones who say 'no one would have the balls to make it today'."

Lovely!

You know, I often find copaganda weirdly soothing, as it provides me chances to shout "neither the Constitution nor DNA testing works that way!" and throw a thing.

But that whole FBI franchise hurts even my hater-brain, and this is at the top of the Dumb.

From a trained and experienced emergency planner:

There is shit you can prepare for and shit you respond to.

A house fire, a burning warehouse, a chemical explosion you prepare for.

A hellscape firestorm that springs out of decades of bad policy, you respond to, and they have responded very well.

What a lovely teapot!

Work madness and drinking coffee.

I read it as 'Batnationalism' and didn't even blink. That probably says something about me.

This is so important. I spoke to so many people who said "it's clear that Democrats only want my vote, not my viewpoints or values," and all they got back was "well do you want TRUMP?" instead of curiosity or inquiry. Some voted, some didn't, but they're definitely disengaged.

It is incredibly grounding. Also, a lot of the clay I am using is 'reclaim' so it's all clay that has been a failure at least once. It's nice to have a collection of little bowls that all came to me as at least a second chance for the clay.
