That's some nightmare inducing shit. It's hard for me to get off when I'm afraid.

So I’ve been wondering how AMI needed to restructure its debt a bunch of times over the last decade but was able to by Us and put in a bid on Time right after the election. Their debt and financing come from hedge funds incorporated in the Caymans.

I feel like there should be a way to have a nuanced conversation about abusers also being victims. For example, the priests raping children are part of a multi-century system of abuse. It obviously doesn’t excuse what they’ve done, but it also feels like we can’t address abuse until we also address the system and…

My 13-year-old and I were scooting to the orthodontist today because her appliance came out last night. Her shorts were up too high, so her butt cheeks were hanging out a little. I refrained from saying anything, and she figured it out herself. If you're a dad, don't make it a thing, and it will likely resolve on its…

He apparently called Flynn at like 3 a.m. to ask him which you want, strong dollar or weak dollar. That was before Flynn left and became a prosecution witness. Flynn said something like, “Maybe you want to talk to someone at Treasury about that?”

So I've worked in analytics for a large suite of dating sites for almost 15 years, and the way they're analyzing "popularity" is off. There are a number of different ways to do it, but I've never seen the graduate degree or more penalty they're describing for women, and popularity for us generally peaks between 25 and…

B&N was always a solid place to pee. I miss their ubiquity in Manhattan.

He is better at singing and writing songs than he is at plausibly being unaware of his friends’ and employees’ serial sexual assault/harassment or hiring people who can win basketball games. He’s really, really terrible at singing and writing songs.

This looks amazing, and I won’t be able to watch it because I can’t bear to witness people’s bad decisions. I had to drop out of Breaking Bad after the first season. I couldn’t finish Framley Parsonage once he gets even a little in debt and doubles down on it.

Yeah. He's thinking Walker will lose, and he'll take advantage of the 2022 anti-democratic blowback to become governor of Wisconsin and run for President in 2024 or 2028.

For me, this is correct. You need a cake to hold a candle, but in the war of cake vs. pie, I choose cc cookies and/or banana or pumpkin chocolate chip bread.

I would like this better if one of them were very sloppy, and the other was very fastidious, and they lived in an apartment together and alternately drove one another crazy and supported each other emotionally. All things are improved with the Odd Couple.

I was at Trader Joe’s standing in line, and this bug eyed dude is in line in front of me, and he’s wearing an InfoWars hat. I thought it was weird how normal his groceries were until I realized that they belonged to the lady in front of him. Bug-eyed InfoWars was buying 18 quarts of carrot juice. A few weeks later he…

Supergirl’s cousin on Supergirl.

Agreed. Superman was already the least effable super hero, and Cavill nailed the asexual perfection. If only he’d also managed to make him anything but dreary to watch.

DCCU is really nailing the “beautiful men in stupid movies” with their male-focused vehicles. I mean, Henry Cavill seems to be a human trash can, but he’s a human trash can with such perfect teeth that I can’t watch the TV Superman anymore because I’m like: “Nope, not pretty enough to be Superman.” 

In fairness, the desire to be seen as human is likely coming from her PR team. I don't imagine she cares one way or another what people think as long as taytay Inc keeps printing money. 

Why focus on Lieberman's being a war monger and traitor to his party when you could instead focus on his being unbelievably dumb and completely in love with seeing himself on TV?

Downside: this schmuck got a slap on the wrist. Upside: it creates a rationale for my existing hatred of WBAI. A friend of mine was hosting some Chiapas priests who were active with the Zapatistas in NYC. She took them to STOMP (this was the late 90s), and the next day they were interviewed on WBAI. The priests kept…

Hey, I don’t know if you read the comments. Your willingness to be vulnerable is really powerful. If you live in Queens or on the upper east side, you might want to check out my wife’s emergent Jewish spiritual community. It’s called Malkhut and meets in Astoria and Jackson Heights. We do mindfulnesd practice and…
