Can’t argue with your editing. Having a “people suck” kind of week.

Balance of powers FTW!

You're thinking of Sakina Jaffrey in House of Cards.

Does this kind of interview ever produce anything that isn’t painful to read? I have to assume Teen Vogue staff hate Ansel Elgort and want to kill his career.

I am OK with Maxim men immediately shifting to an Idris Elba-based lifestyle. For humanity.

...and now I miss Grandma.

Nobody should have this much charisma. He needs to leave some for the rest of us.

True story: The fellow who would later become Mr. Asada described Nolan Ryan as “washed up” less than four hours before Ryan pitched his no-hitter against the A’s. I have never, ever let my husband forget this, and I believe it has made our marriage stronger.

I am really hoping this lady orders a no-foam cappuccino in Italy some day. Those baristas do not fucking play. After all, their country had an empire that lasted 1,000 years. What has your barbarian country done lately?

There was a while in New England when Sweet Cream ice cream was a thing. Like, vanilla ice cream, minus the vanilla. Even people from Rhode Island had no trouble figuring out what the deal was.

I think “As you have done unto the least of my brethren, you have done unto me” is the appropriate scripture here.

Books are NEVER clutter.

Does no one carry a diaper bag any more? We used to put that dirty diaper in the equivalent of a doggy poop sack and stick it in one of the otherwise useless extra pockets till we got home and could deal with it appropriately. Of course, my kid only shat rose petals and snickerdoodles, so odor wasn't a problem.

Yes, please, to dress No. 2, I love the crossover neck and the scarf/sleeves.

ONLY BORING SPORTS ARE HAPPENING? What the hell is wrong with you; we’re a half game back from the Dodgers! It’s a pennant race!
