Can we just drop any pretense that any of us are getting our security deposits back?

If you can, if you need to, use this information.

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

So 40 years ago the dogs in dog shows were all named stuff like Lord Fauntleroy Brookingham and today on the dog show they all have names like George and Joe. Weeeeeeeeird.

My mom and I were talking about what it would take to restore the worldโ€™s goodwill and concluded that it will take at least 20 years to unfuck.

I saw REM live on the Lifeโ€™s Rich Pageant tour. Three just standing there while Stipe was all over the place. It was way more like they were his backup band. Not a bad show, justโ€ฆunexpected.

Heโ€™s too busy being the fashion police on airplanes to worry about this. He may be terrified but thankfully(?) he is also incompetent.

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.

Iโ€™m gonna nominate Funny Farm based on the fact that the Bumpassโ€™ dogs steal the Turkey. Funny movie if you can get past how completely passive-aggressive and awful the wife is. Itโ€™s hilarious despite her.

We owe DOLLY our thanks for EVERYTHING she does for others. Itโ€™s considerable.

My husband died of cancer last month but Iโ€™m here to say that I am 100% thankful and glad when someone survives. One of the crazy things about this journey was understanding that who lives, who dies depends on a potpourri of factors largely out of anyoneโ€™s control. Blessings to your family today.

A year ago, we were leaving Childrenโ€™s Hospital of Philadelphia after my daughterโ€™s surgery for thyroid cancer.

Feeling pretty thankful this year. Hope youโ€™ve got something to be thankful for too.

My first thought. And how fucked up are things that our minds immediately wonder about that. Like I even wondered if one of the victims was named Franz Ferdinand.

My hair was down to my butt. Cancer took everything from me this year, so we cut my hair to shoulder length to send to Locks of Love so that somewhere, it can go easier for a child facing cancer and they can have the dignity he was denied.
