If you ever get a chance, you should talk to some lawyer of your acquaintance about this. Any lawyer worth their salt will tell you, don’t co-operate with cops. Always ask to have a lawyer present for any interaction you have with cops. Playing nice with cops doesn’t win you goodie points. It doesn’t make them like…

I didn’t realize how uniquely DC this is (I grew up there, expected to live in a situation like this until/unless I married) until about my late-20's. And it’s absurd, because while you’re still in the liminal space between college and the Big Bucks and/or Dual Incomes, it’s a great way to live. I’m in my early 30's…

All my favorite comfort foods are Depression Foods, which means they need to be simple enough that I can make them even though my executive processing is all gone to shit, while remaining delicious enough to be worth going through the trouble of buying and preparing them, even when a solid 90% of me would rather just…

Also, must be said, these people put their lives on the line in a very literal way, same as every serviceperson. Even if it was some sort of substantial burden (which it is not), pay for their fucking transition. It’s the fucking least we can do as a nation.

I want to believe you, as I am interested in buying sour cream in new and more convenient formats, but a friend’s experience tells me that squeeze sour cream still separates into solids and whey, and the whey tends to leak all over your fridge if you’re not very fastidious about closing the lid properly.

Listen, what I’m about to say is going to sound weird as fuck, but please believe me - if there’s an Arab grocery near you, get your canned tuna from them. I lived in Sudan for a while, and pretty quickly I noticed that there were only two items you could get there that were comparable to or better than what you can…

Your point about Black people’s complete lack of 2nd amendment rights is important and true, and I’m not trying to diminish that, but it should be known that statistically, ALL gun owners are more likely to be killed (or kill a family member, or have a family member killed) than saved by their guns.

Oh, wow. Susan Collins was being kind.

Lol what possible purpose could there be for even manufacturing an envelope with a window that large? You might as well slap a stamp right above the letter head and send your mail naked through the system.

Especially since Shaw/Howard both is and is adjacent to some of the best food areas of DC.

Lol, bye Bannon.

The only important information I learned from this is: we both have cats named the same weird thing.

In early Catholic theology, original sin is passed down through the mother, from Eve. Christ can’t be both free from sin and have a normal human mother. Therefore, God kind of lays the table for the eventual impregnation of Mary with Jesus by making her be born without original sin. It doesn’t make sense, but it made…

The sub-parness of the chicken is what’s getting me about this story (which I wholeheartedly believe). Astro’s Fried Chicken & Doughnuts is like, right by the White House! And there’s a Popeye’s on 14th Street, which I’m not saying it’s close but it’s not so far you couldn’t send some feckless intern, and Popeye’s…

“Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas” has been an aphorism since at least the 1730's, so I don’t think that anyone gets to pretend surprise when keeping bad company leads to bad consequences.

Right? Like, Kaitlyn Olsen is a mom, and her show is too adult for most of the Teen Choice Awards teens (let’s be real, tweens, 19 year olds have student loans already and can’t possibly give a shit about this) to be watching. She’s one of the few people here whose outfit isn’t try-hard, but I’ve got no idea why she’s…

So if you were arrested, you’d feel fine allowing a police officer of the opposite sex to remove your pants and underwear and leaving you to walk around like that in front of officers and other inmates of the opposite sex for more than a day?

The only wedding I ever went to that had a cake where I wanted more than one piece (chocolate cake with cannoli cream icing) did not have enough cake for me to have more of it. I would love a wedding where there was good cake and lots of it. If you ever do a vow-renewal, invite me.

Those cakes look amazing. I appreciate that you both provided the kind of cake that is actually good enough to want a second helping, AND enough cake that everyone can have that second helping.
