The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I would ask him to stop and if he doesn't, block him.

If he does it again, I'll do that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I cannot stop reading the comments on this bob and Eli article on hairpin! Jesse, I hope you saw this!

It is crazy over there!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I studied regional accents in college when I was taking voice and diction to rid myself of the Boston accent. It was kind of cool in that the maps where accents were similar follow ports and specific shipping stops along the way. And dying accents, like the Kennedy Brahmin.

Art Crawl!!!

That is cool.

Why do dying accents make me sad? Maybe because it's like the past slipping away.

It's weird just watching old movies or listening to old radio programs: the accents even just sixty years ago were so different!

hip deep in pie

Should I do that? Should I just sigh, accept it's something the kidlings do these days, and just remove the tags as they show up?

I would just block him.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well, no one uses that transatlantic accent anymore but you can hear it in films of the 1940s and any film taking place in the 30s and 40s. Kelsay Grammer has a sort of bastardized version of it going on, I guess.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It amuses me when people underestimate me because of my mild Southern accent. It makes their inevitable defeat funnier.

It amuses me when people find out I'm from Arkansas and struggle to find a polite way to say "But you don't sound like an ignorant hillbilly..."

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh, that's a pisser. He's a fan, I assume?
