Especially ones who thought making out with Puck was a good idea.

I don’t think invading a group of people who decapitated a hitchhiking robot Just Because is going to yield the results they think it will.

We rewatched The Town a couple of weeks ago, and wow is Affleck's fake accent so, so bad in that. There are a few scenes where he's clearly not trying to fake it and a more natural sounding accent comes through here and there. But otherwise, woof.

They immediately lose me the minute I see "this is not who we are." Because really? Maybe pick up a history book sometime; this is EXACTLY who we are and have been.

She has shown an appalling lack of leadership since she took on a leadership role. It’s so disappointing. What the hell happened to the woman who staged a sit-in with John Lewis?

It should count double if you still pronounce it β€œAmic-er”, Jerry Remy style, hahaha

We have a ton here (and, allegedly, fisher cats) and yet somehow people are still surprised when the outdoor pet they let wander the neighborhood or leave otherwise unattended is attacked.

Also, I have told this story before, but one of the reasons I replied to my now-husband’s email was because his dating by profile included a line that said, β€œyou are absolutely nothing like Ann Coulter.” Never compromise, kids.

The disconnect it takes to live like that is wild to me. I know everyone wants to believe they’re Special and One Of The Good Ones, but these people would sell you out for a dime in a heartbeat if they could make money off you.

I stepped on Ari Fleischer’s foot when stealing pizza from an event at work. If I’d realized who it was, I would have stepped harder and not apologized.

My kid has started asking questions, since he’s realized other people have more family than we dk. He got upset when he figured out my dad died after he was born and he never met him. I explained it as, β€œsome people just aren’t worth knowing, even if you’re related to them.”

I cannot describe the weird sense of relief I felt when I got to say, β€œoh, he passed away a few years ago”the first time someone I met asked about my dad. No more wondering if someone is going to be cool or an asshole.

My friend and I went to see 12 Monkeys at the cheap theater in its last few days, so it wasn’t very crowded. As the credits rolled, this girl stood up and yelled β€œwhat. THE FUCK. was that?!?!” And I couldn’t help her, because I also had no freaking idea.

It’s amazing just how fully incapable they are of meeting the moment. I can’t wait to get a β€œchip in” text asking me to show my support for Team Patio.

People have lost. their. minds. Someone tried to drive around me when I was in the middle of backing out of my driveway the other day. And this was like three days after a kid on a bike died after being hit by a car literally up the street. You’d think people would still be on edge here, but nope.

Maybe it’s an homage to her Yankee roots.

Iβ€˜ve met a lot of politicos over the years, but I’m pretty sure my coolest celebrity connection is that a friend’s dog is in the National Dog Show this year.

We were in Salem a couple of weeks ago, and some store was blasting Christmas music in the alley by the Witch Trials Memorial. All while Halloween stuff was still out everywhere. Definitely made it creepier, that’s for sure.

Even though she, my brother, and I had to sit in a room and decide whether or not to take my dad off life support (and if so, at what time) not four freaking years earlier. Did it not occur to you then that maybe you wouldn’t want to put your children through that again? Boomers, man.

They really think they’re invincible somehow. My mom ended up in the hospital overnight last year (nothing major) and they asked her the standard β€œdo you want to be resuscitated if the worst happened?” This woman had the AUDACITY to say, β€œoh, I never thought about it.”

Truly. Did you see that Crimson article where they interviewed faculty and the one guy was like, "I don't think we learned anything we didn't know about him already"? It's all just shameful.

There are fiftyleven billion economists at this university. There is NO WAY they couldn't find someone else to finish off this class for the last two weeks of the semester. Unless they just can't be bothered.
