My wife and I went to a silent Buddhist meditation retreat this weekend. Spending a few days contemplating the impermanence of all things was a good choice.

He’s looking to be as extreme as possible and not get his nominees rejected. Giuliani is a non-starter for Senate approved jobs... too many shady foreign deals. Sessions would normally be a problem, but he’s well liked socially in the Senate, so they’ll let him through even with all the overt racism. Bannon and Flynn…

My in-laws went 100% mismatched. My father-in-law is Saba, and my mother-in-law is “grandmama.” It’s like a kibbutznik married a baroness. Our kids call us Ima and Abba, which kids at preschool just thought were our names. Thank God my kids are finally old enough that their conversations with friends don’t revolve…

I’d always wondered how hook-ups work because it all seems awkward (I locked in before this was a thing), but the Trump stuff made it clear that a big chunk of it must be dudes doing super inappropriate things to women without their consent and just seeing how far they can get, not really caring how they traumatize…

Are you fucking kidding me? Why would Democrats move their policies to the right? What moron thinks Trump won because he had more popular policies? He didn’t have a single fucking coherent policy in his entire fucking campaign. Or does “move farther to the right” just mean “be more racist”? There are only two…

Yeah. My sense is that Eastern/Central European husbands are no great shakes on average, and she was like, if I’m going to marry a controlling schmuck, I’ll marry one with a lot of money and who gets me out of this shit hole. How do NDAs in prenups work? Could she forgo the payout, get a book deal, and keep the money,…

Also, don’t knock the super high-end classes until you try them. They can charge because the instructors are charismatic as hell. I go to LA for work some, and I go to Barry’s Bootcamp when I’m there, and each time, I’m like “TAKE MY MONEY!” If I could go there 6 days a week like I do my boxing gym in Queens, I’d look…

This story has EVERYTHING! His wife literally called with a flat tire!? AND HE DIDN’T GET THE IRONY!? I LOVE THIS! I’M ALL CAPPING BECAUSE I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!

OH! But my wife always describes her co-worker as her partner in crime. Is it not adorable?

Ah. You’re right. I work for a Texas company where previous management seemed to define “misconduct” liberally, so I’ve seen a bunch of people not get unemployment when fired for under performance. They could have appealed, but the lawyers would cost more than their unemployment was worth.

“Less immediately striking but in some ways more interesting is the lawsuit’s allegation that the performance review system was, in effect, a way to conduct layoffs without the notice required by California law”

I think the discrimination claim is garbage, but if they were trying to get around paying unemployment insurance claims, it’s pretty serious fraud. They’re going to access a ton of emails in discovery. My guess is that they’re going to have so much embarrassing shit in those emails that Yahoo! will settle to keep it…

It’s only good for a 10% weight loss in 60% of the population. Given his all fast food diet and exercise regimen consisting of hand waving, I can easily imagine him 10% fatter.

I thought he was hiding a fen-phen addiction, but the viagra thing also seems probable (not sure that he’s actually having sex with Melania or if she’s just a beard for his weirder sex shit).

I went to the grocery store one time after a workout. Of course I ended up seeing several of my wife’s congregants while I was sweat soaked and stinky. Never again. I don’t know for sure that it was a gossip topic, but given that my wife wore a bikini to the beach once and someone not at the beach that day mentioned…

My dad wasn’t SAH, but he had a flexible schedule and did most of the classroom parent work. He totally killed snack day. Oreos! Not kosher for today’s kids, but we loved ‘em. I’m similarly flexible and make homemade stuff because that’s what’s expected even though I’m pretty sure most kids would still rather have…

I believe they are confusing throwing down like a motherfucking boss with a neurological disorder. Given their weak-sauce candidates this year, they can be forgiven for not knowing the difference. “I think she’s not weasely enough. It’s probably something going wrong with her brain.”

Nathan’s hot dogs are Kosher... It’s still a “hot beef injection.” Still not good for you, and Nathan still knows it.

So I’m going to be one of the five thousand people who will diagnose you today, but my wife had the same bloating thing come up in the last few years... Endoscopy, colonoscopy, pill camera, prilosec prescription, etc. She started out going gluten free, and it helped a bit, but when I looked up gluten sensitivity not…

So I had this experience going to a Maplethorpe/Warhol exhibit with my 9-year-old son. It was mostly about presentations of gender, which both of us were really into, but there was one relatively graphic S&M photo thrown in... whip inserted into somebody’s tushy hole, so he looked like a cat.
