I read that the child was left with a family friend in the US because it’s too young to fly.

You do realize that a writer posted the same thing you did (anecdata) and got destroyed by the Times?

Wait till you try it with Mayo.

I imagine that if the restaurant was really slammed, He would have had the apostles up and clearing tables, helping set up trays, washing dishes, etc. And Jesus would have been going table to table, praying with some, urgng others to try the brisket, and maybe doing a little close-up table magic for those with long…

That’s fine, Miss Piggy has obviously moved on.

kermit did 9/11

Well, no, it's more like a pharmacist refusing to dispense birth control because it's against their religious beliefs, which is a precedent that's already been set.

It’s so weird, because I just had this conversation with one of my regulars where I bartend. She was pretty much regurgitating this same narrative and our discussion was getting heated until she confided that she had her first child at 13 (She’s now in her early 50’s). I tried to explain that at 13, a person is not…

That is very compassionate, thank you. I sort of ignored the whole fact that she is a victim when I blacked out and saw red at what she was saying.

Yeah, it makes me angry that he skips over the fact that he’s opening his marriage *without consent*. He’s putting himself 100% in charge of the terms of their relationship.

“I don’t like the concept of monogamy, but I DO like letting my wife believe I do so she’ll be home with a hot dinner waiting for me at night, keeping the house clean and parenting my children so I have plenty of time and mental space to obsess about what else I deserve out of life.”

“I considered divorce but there really wasn’t massive personal discord. I mean, we don’t connect anymore.”

I’m actually not that judgmental normally, but I can’t stand it when people justify their behavior by saying “it’s natural” or “everyone does it” etc. Some do, some don’t. He might, but that doesn’t mean others would. It seems to be a way for people to deflect actually owning their behavior.

I do like that anyone who objects to infidelity was preemptively called a “hater,” though. Stay classy, Tracy.

It’s not suprising. I assume the plan was to retain talent, not labor.

You leave your partner at the hotel with the dog and get takeout. You get takeout and eat in the car. These are very simple solutions.

I checked Spelman’s Twitter and she seems to be taking it well. Her pinned tweet says she’s re downloading Tinder to see how many boys she can convince she is a ghost.
