[Olivia] was passionate about her career, and now everything she built has imploded before her eyes . . .

It should be added that fighting is a lot like driving or fucking. Most people are terrible at it, but — for no reason whatsoever — have this idea that they’re perfectly competent, if not high-fivingly skilled, at it.

I was at a “dads’ night out” last night, and there was so much vitriol about that song. I don’t know why, but listening to songs - even inane, overly simplistic ones - again and again and again just doesn’t bother me. It’s kind of like that SNL skit logic where a gag will just go on and on, and while it may stop being…

What can you do for five minutes to prep for the crankiest part of the day? Offspring editor Michelle Woo suggests these mini-breaks . . .

Oh, you sweet, simple lamb.... This world’s going to be awfully rough on you....

Right. And as a professional influencer who gets paid to appear in photographs and videos with products, I’m sure it never, ever would have occurred to her why those photographs never appeared online, why there was no other branding or promotional paraphernalia surrounding it, why she was never paid or signed…

Wow. Clearly, someone didn’t need to fake their way onto their college’s mental gymnastics team....

“Hey, Mom, why is it so important that I put on workout gear and pose for all these photos pretending to row on this ergometer?”

I really don’t think it takes even that deep of a dive to determine whether they knew.

Well, given that you spend your weekdays combing through (and passionately responding to) comments relating to a blog post regarding the reading habits of children, it may be time for a realistic assessment of just how valuable your time actually is....?

Oh, I see. You’re one of those people who believes that pointing out an ambiguity, small factual error, or exception to a generalization dismantles another person’s entire point and makes their having said anything at all a huge waste of your time. The rest of us are in discussion mode, but you’re white-knuckling your…

Tokyo’s sidewalks are often crowded, especially since pedestrians share them with bikes. But bikers tend to go slowly enough, and make enough room for pedestrians, that it’s not the problem you would expect. This wouldn’t work in a place with as many delivery bikers as New York. And it’s still less pleasant than…

Middle school generally starts at grade 5 in the U.S., with students as young as 10.  If you think that the dropoff in reading enthusiasm stops being a thing on a kid’s tenth birthday and that my point is invalid to the extent it doesn’t apply exclusively to nine-year-olds, then feel free to ignore my contribution to…

All the questions and anxiety just swirl around and around, from fear of how a baby will affect everything from their sleep to their relationship, to grander fears about climate change and this big scary world.

The third was assigned reading for school. And not like reading for BOOK IT! or choosing books off a summer reading list, but “here is a list of books you have to read for the year, now read them”. Nothing turned me off quite like being forced to slog through books I didn’t want to read. If the time I had available…

*SPOILERS*

I looked up Jasper Pääkkönen on Google Images, and man, in a lot of photos, he gives off a real Michael-Biehn-as-Johnny-Ringo-in-Tombstone vibe...

It always annoys the s*** out of me to see setups with multiple clocks showing different time zones, and the minute hands point to different minutes. Other than the handful of countries in the world that work 30-minute increments into their time zones, shouldn’t all the minute hands be the same, with the only…

Want to rethink the title of the article, Meghan?

I speak enough Japanese to know that KonMari is not a natural portmanteau of Marie Kondo, even though surnames do typically precede given names.
