Thank you for making me laugh. I needed that.

If it makes their rookie kicker feel better, if he made that XP, the Bills probably kick after their last TD instead of going for 2 (and failing), so the math ends up the same.

His mother must be a true nightmare who made him utterly spineless for him to consider her living on top of him--with his two children in his bedroom--AND his wife miserably opposed to it as the better of the two options. If he doesn't about face, this poor woman has to find a way to cut her losses

What kind of person would even want to move into a home where you're kicking your own grandchildren out of their room and forcing your son to spend money on a storage unit so that you can keep ordering designer bags and taking trips? All the copious issues with this aside, they don't have the room!

They were straight up organizing and radicalizing at their “Be Prepared” Nazi Jesus parties, and we were going to gender reveal barbecues like social norms would save us from their bared teeth.

Only a true narcissist could be the most famous example of choosing personal accolades and your career over your already very wealthy family and speak those words without irony. Impressive.

He did all of it for himself—which, whatever—but who does he think he’s kidding?

Exactly!! Take your money and run, girl. Let him deal with the mess of consequences he’s created for himself.
Michelle Girardi (@chellegz.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t have to wonder because he obviously telepathically uses my vocal cords to speak for him in the correct tone and inflection. Otherwise I’d just be a crazy person having a conversation with myself!

My 15-year-old just left this morning for a week in the mountains at a camp where they confiscate your phone--it's not a digital detox camp, but I'm looking forward to hearing how it went for her. I think she'll be more affected by not having her laptop to work on her writing. ✍️📘

I visibly shuddered at the idea of wearing boots in July. Returning from a shore vacation where I didn’t even pack socks or sneakers. That said, dirty feet are absolutely gross, and I am pretty vigilant about that.

Even someone as intellectually incurious as Trump would have been forced to study Shakespeare in school and made aware of the context.

In hindsight, it seems so naive that we thought Bush was as President Camacho as we could imagine back then.

republicans keep making life worse for working people and better for the rich and then we have elections and they’re like no that’s not true! and people believe them and then they just do it all again and it’s enough to make a rational person feel absolutely fucking insane

I hope he is right! Seeing people who wanted prices to come down vote for Trump was demoralizing.
Michelle Girardi (@chellegz.bsky.social) reply parent
I sure could use that hope, but all the voters in this sample are blue. It’s a democratic primary. Isn’t his analysis misleading? He wasn’t running against Trump or someone with Trump’s politics. (Cuomo is a mess, but he doesn’t have—god help us—Trump’s appeal to the working class).

It can literally drive you insane, digesting how awful people are and realizing how powerless you are to stop it. And that the people in position to stop it won't. I don't know what to do.

And now every time even insured people get offered a booster or vaccine that they normally wouldn’t think twice about at their annual check up, they will have to check their insurance to be sure the shot won’t bankrupt them. Cool cool. Super functional society we have.

And on top of that, dogshit air quality! So I guess we shouldn’t even be outside anyway.
Michelle Girardi (@chellegz.bsky.social) reply parent
I was complaining last night (and for several weeks let’s be real) how I just want to go outside and feel warm. And then too hot. And then go back to the AC because it’s “too hot out.” Is that too much to ask?

Tipping isn't really a burden for me, so assuming all money is going directly to servers, it doesn't make a difference to me, and I'd rather go with whatever their preference would be. I'd probably leave a few bucks anyway if I had a remotely decent server.

No human being can resist eating takeout fries in the car, even if they are actively burning the roof of their mouth. We can’t hold DoorDash drivers to an impossible standard.

It’s just a societal rule that the fries in a takeout bag belong to the driver until they are out of the car, and that’s why I don’t DoorDash.

For sure. And (to use an extreme example) when those children raised by bad/aloof parents decide not to perpetuate the cycle of trauma by having their own kids, we call them selfish!

I don’t even get the accusation that not having kids is selfish when people have kids for their own selfish reasons: status, ego, filling a void, wanting to create someone who will love you & take care of you when you’re old, etc.
