Thank you for your insight. Yes, pre-k was touted, which sounds amazing. That’s a very spotty thing here that varies from district to district. He and McCray also spoke about their efforts with mental health. I understand Thrive NYC is criticized for not doing enough for those with serious mental illness—particularly…

Oh good lord, that’s a ridiculous hot take. I know that song, but I didn’t know it was R. Kelly until reading this dirt bag.

My son was in JROTC for two years. There are components of the course that are geared around things like community service and good citizenship. Asks while there is no requirement to enlist, overall it is absolutely treated as a military pipeline—in our particular high school; I can’t speak to every program…

As a chronically mentally ill person (MDDR) in the trenches of SAD, which is just the most reliable of the several depressions I experience each year, I’ll compare it to whatever the hell I want. An acute presentation of mental illness is very much like the flu or a rheumatoid arthritis flare, or any other severe, but…

Thank youyou so much for sharing this with us. What a beautiful tribute to your best friend. I'm so very sorry for your loss. 

It isn’t discrimination to determine an employee is unfit for work due to medical reasons. If he showed up in the throes of a bad case of the flu and Lorne made this call, I doubt you’d allege discrimination. Pete has a serious disease, and this past weekend it made him very sick. Don't trivialize the seriousness of…

TGP point system is, dare I say, like Jacksonville-style pool's scoring system: completely arbitrary and probably made up by drunks.

I would still wear every single thing in that top photo, other than the tat choker. Come at me.

If it makes you feel better, Greene owned slaves.

I feel like ‘mediocre' is undeserved praise.

This is where I'm putting my money. 

Actors might not be soldiers, but their work is very important. Ms. Carden and the ray of The Good Place cast are giving us a gift: half an hour each week to just feel GOOD. That is a precious and no small thing in these scary times.

Oh, ok. I get it. Sorry. I was in a bad place mentally yesterday and not firing on all cylinders.

I mean, that’s not a perspective, it’s the truth. Yale was founded in 1701. Mormonism didn’t exist until 1830. What rush to judgment? These are just facts. The LDS church is not affiliated with Yale University.

That’s not correct. Yale was founded by Congregationalists. The big Mormon university is BYU. Plenty of Yalies drink (so plenty of Mormons, for that matter, but they're more invested in hiding it).

He flipped way before McCain died... it was really an abysmally short time after the election. There probably is dirt, but I’d say it’s a more mundane attempt to align himself with the demographics back home. Trouble is this: Democrats like myself used to at least respect Graham as a moderate, even if we didn’t agree…

Oh my GOD. Rarely have I seen such vitriol towards victims of a natural disaster. NO ONE cheered for dying Puerto Ricans. At least here in SC, many of those stranded in the floodwaters are poor people. Of those, many lost everything in the catastrophic flood we experienced in 2015, and are once more looking at…

I followed your link and saw that SC (where I live) has no non-PP abortion provider. They are very much the only game in (two) town(s) here. Through my political work, I’ve become acquainted with the woman who is the director of public affairs for PPSC. She spends a LOT of time in the state house talking to…

This is a very exciting deal on a product I want to try. Unfortunately, when I click the link, Amazon tells me “Note: This product is only available from third-party sellers.” But hey, 4 new available starting at $35.43. Whomp whomp.
