You forgot, “Also he’s going to Israel, the state that gave us the top-secret information about the war on ISIS that he then casually passed on to Russians in a casual Oval Office chat.”

God, can you imagine how his wattle would wobble?

It’s worth noting also that until last week, Rod Rosenstein also had a reputation for scrupulous honesty and diligent hard work - those reputations are very difficult to get, and they can be ruined with a single misstep, as Rosenstein is now learning. Why Rosenstein chose to do what he did with the Comey letter is…

In fact, I did not edit at all, but that’s fine if you need the excuse for your poor reading comprehension.

In fact I described two levels of immunity, one of which is available to embassy staff above the service level, and which would protect staff while on the job.

In fact, people with diplomatic immunity carry a card that says they are not liable “to any form of arrest or detention,” and that “all appropriate steps shall be taken to prevent any attack on the bearer’s person, freedom, or dignity.” Like, I’m having trouble imagining what you think diplomatic immunity is, if you…

Most financial advisors suggest you spend 25% of your income on rent. For $1500 to be 25% of your rent, you would need to make $72,000 a year. The median income for the whole of the US is $52,000 a year.

Considering that the average rent of the first three places you mentioned are all above $1,000 per month (and Seattle is over $2k) and that literally all of them are represented in red on this handy map of year-on-year rent growth that just came out this month, I’m going to go ahead and confirm what I already…

This all day long. Every single conversation about cultural appropriation on Jezebel quickly gets turned into the world’s most repetitive and basic argument. Anywhere else on the internet, I’m inured to the fact that we’ll be having the same conversation about “Does homophobia/racism/TERF feminism/[insert obvious…

Right, I’ll just move to a place where the average rent is the recommended 24% of my current income - and watch my income drop by 50-100%, because there are no professional jobs in East Bumblefuck, Oklahoma, or wherever you’re envisioning I move to. Where I now also cannot afford to live, on account of my job is now…

The only way I got through high school math was my father. I called him on the phone every. single. night. and he helped me do my homework. We worked out a little private language to communicate complicated algebraic equations over the phone. Then, if we were VERY lucky, I’d remember the bare minimum of what we spent…

A rare exception to the journalistic trope that any rhetorical question in a headline can be answered in the negative.

There is no sensation so out of proportion in the amount of damage it actually does compared to how miserable it feels than the feeling of being stuck long-term in a space where the seat-to-next-chair-back length is shorter than one’s own hip-to-knee length. It becomes so viscerally unpleasant so quickly!

It’s been a bad year and a half for the democratic experiment, is all I’ll say. It seems like every chance they’ve gotten for the past 18 months, people everywhere have made the worst-possible of all the choices available to them, with few exceptions or mitigations. I’m glad the French aren’t among them (yet).

Yeah, “I’ve wasted the last 30 years reading articles I don’t like” is not the most interesting or convincing pitch I’ve ever heard. It doesn’t make me think anything’s wrong with the articles, it makes me wonder what’s wrong with the commenter.

It’s particularly amazing because he did have to deal with a lot of particularly toxic fandom, above and beyond what most stars have to deal with - it’s not like he’s only ever reaped the benefits of having a large young female fanbase, he’s also been face-to-face with some of the repercussions of having a lot of…

I only bother to buy two things at duty-free every time I leave London: Pimm’s and Jaffa Cakes. And a single snack bag of Walker’s Prawn Cocktail chips, which I eat in the terminal. I’ve got the whole thing down to a science.

Pimm’s Cup is the greatest drink ever invented by man, and if I were ever bound to a handcart by an alcoholic narcissist super-spy, it would be my drink of choice for that occasion, too.

Aside from all the outcomes that don’t include any U.S. city being decimated by a foreign power, the outcome that would make me the happiest would be Russia deciding to target Mar-a-Lago because it’s where the President actually spends most of his time, so that most of the casualties would be people who voted for him…

The club members probably knew about it before anyone else because he couldn’t stop from showing them what a Big Man he is by announcing his intentions to everyone who would listen.
