You just described my chihuahua to a tee! She also tries to trick me and get away with stuff constantly. Drives me MENTAL.

Riddle me this: if a college campus became a den of any other type of violent crime, where it was rampant, wouldn't it be shut down, at least until the perpetrators were removed? Like if the campus became unsafe because of someone going around beating people up with blunt objects? A rash of crime? Does not compute. Oh…

To me it's a reminder that the whole world, even places I think if as "mine," like my grocery store, my bodega, are actually male places, territory, and by daring to enter them I become something that can be commented on. I'm being asked to submit to open scrutiny by just existing in my own home town. Plus "you're…

Saying that laughing in public is unchaste is like saying humanity is worthless. Like how did you get here asshole? Is life on Earth so pointless that half its population should be forced to enjoy it in the narrowest way possible? Though I suppose that's religious extremism to a tee - not ascribing value to this life…

This is a great approach - the GOP might be able to understand basic economics, we just need to sing it to them!! Brilliant!

This is so interesting and insightful! Thank you for sharing your observations!

I'm glad I wasn't totally alone in that! In some ways it's sad that we equate being a provider and working so much with masculinity - it makes joblessness and homelessness so much more devastating. I can understand why people in that position would act out, especially if they're stuck because of mental health issues.…

I consider myself a very committed feminist, but in some ways my reaction was similar to your partner's. Though to me it wasn't so much about race as the fact that some of the guys were clearly unhinged to some degree. Arguing with a clearly disenfranchised person who's apparently suffering from some mental or social…

The point people are missing is that the employer does not purchase any particular health care, the employee EARNS insurance through employment, WITH which they access care. It's not semiotics, it's actually how the ACA works.

Funny, I was just grousing to myself about how crazy sizing has become. Not trying to humble brag here, but I've been having to constantly return online orders of pants from jcrew/madewell because the sizing has become so ridiculous. My waist is 26" and my hips are around 31" so why on earth would I think to buy size…

You guys wanna hear about a real life Levine encounter? Yeah you do. Sadly this is second hand, but I will attempt to do it justice.

Thank you! I had to learn the hard way myself, so those aren't words of cocksure inexperience :)

I wrote a relationship advice book. It's really short! —

People need to stop letting their kids watch Game of Thrones! I kid, but I'm with you - there is no reason a five year old should even have ideas like that! 5 year olds are mimics, so he must be getting that from somewhere. Seems shocking that no one at the school would check into his well being. Might be hearing a…

Totally! I stay over at my girlfriends houses when I'm out partying, and I'm going to Paris solo to meet my friends from London soon. Marrying later into your 20s means you've probably had a lot more time on your own, so you're used to your independence. Plus if you were an independent person when you met you're…

Watching a lot of 30 For 30 basketball documentaries has made me a big fan of man thighs. SHOW ME THEM.

Ha! Good point! And their damage control is definitely at Olivia Pope level.

I'm going to repeat my assertion that the whole Solange meltdown is typical drunk party behavior that's been magnified by celebrity status. She used Jay Z's name to get her friends on, or whatever the case may be, he called her out, and she reacted like a wild drunk lady. Beyoncé was blasé about it because it was just…

Based on Page Six, it sounds like Solange was pretty drunk at the hotel party. I'm guessing she was going about her partying business, thinking nothing of it, and when they got in the elevator, Jay made some kind of reprimanding comment and she deunkenly flipped out. Probably sibling tension about having to cater to…

The Cactus Blossoms were the act with the big following. It's an old-fashioned country band that does Everly Brothers and Hank Williams and the like. Then we had a Bruce Springsteen cover band called Tramps Like Us. I'm not even a big Boss fan, but it's so fun live. I jokingly sang with them on the last song and then…
