Nah. This article would have made about as much sense to you pre-wife as it does post-wife. Perhaps even less. Read more

Also, I would be willing to bet five Schrutebucks that the majority of dudes know exactly what these social cues mean. They are choosing to ignore them because they think that the social contract doesn’t apply to them in cases where the other signee of said contract is female. Read more

Yup, I’m pretty sure men are only bad at picking up on hints when the hints are coming from women they are interested in.

Except for usually if someone is stupid enough or rude enough to talk to you while you’re clearly not interested...they are usually the type of person to either KEEP trying after you say that, or get angry and harass you. Read more

Leave them alone these are the same people that have a shit-fit because the Human Torch was black or by gawd there might be a black stormtropper.

I usually like your comments but can’t get behind this one. Why the sheepish tone in the phrase “might get me in trouble?” With whom? People who care about racism? The PC police? Those oversensitive people of color? Read more

Hollywood golden age or not, this is not surprising at all. Hollywood refuses to branch out and embrace people of color. They pick one or two at a time they feel comfortably highlighting (and if they don’t make a box office hit, they’re out within 3-5 years) then the rest of the time you have a steady rotation of the Read more

What the fuck are you talking about? I gave Lindy (a good friend of mine!) credit in the original copy. I just misunderstood Kimberly’s involvement. No shade, just a genuine correction. Read more

I watched the whole season and damn well forgot half this stuff went down. You do good work Kara! I nearly choked laughing throughout this post. Foghorn Leghorn the lobbyist still has me giggling 10 minutes later. Read more

Cackling uproariously. Because either you’re serious and I’m both pointing and laughing, or you’re not serious and your sense of humour is amazingly dry and I love you. Read more

When I’m trying to muster the will to get out of bed and face another day on the Internet, that video reminds me that something good once happened here. Read more

My bad for bringing up the SB. Yeah, you do you lady. I just got off the phone with moms. She turned it off before the end of the second set. I think she will make it through the night, lol. Let’s hope she uses this as fuel to complete the slam next year! Read more
