The hottest couples aren’t “normal” people, the hottest couples are mutually deranged, weird hobgoblins who share the same niche obsessions. Find someone who will be the Morticia to your Gomez.

Every. single. woman. I know in real life. has experienced multiple instances of sexual assault/sexual harassment from men. Including myself.

Something Good in the World: Let’s Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day This Weekend
I was going to write something else for today’s column, something complain-y but righteous that would allow me to get some stuff off my chest and maybe even get some rage clicks. Shit is bad. But I…

Unpopular opinion, I know complete strangers don't like being randomly punched in the face, but after a long day, I just need to hit something. I liked it when people just sat there and took the blows

NEW: TIME publishes interview with Trump.

This is a REAL section of the transcript.

It is impossible to read this and not conclude that Trump is suffering profound, cognitive decay.

Yeah no, I've never lived up to my other version of me either
Lady being interviewed on the podcast I'm listening to just said "It sounds like I'm doing a lot, but I feel like I'm not doing enough."

Interviewer: "Compared to who?"

Interviewee: "Compared to the person I feel like I'm supposed to be"

...I feel this in my damn bones

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.

Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!

NO.

Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something.

This is also about autism.

Not only is Sinners doing well for itself, but it's prompting a lot of people to share similar stories in a variety of formats, and hopefully, those creators benefit as well.
My brother-in-law just reminded me of the comic, Bitter Root after telling him about SINNERS and damn what a beautiful comparison!

Ah, logic. Let's charge people who don't have any money. That will help them.
Yes yes, I know the real point is to drive them from Woonsocket, because otherwise it's a sparkling fucking gem of a place. #rhodeisland
Full house at the Woonsocket City Council, where an anti-camping ordinance will be introduced that targets and fines people experiencing homelessness.
