I’m 33 and can say without equivocation that we’re the most sexist generation of parents since the Greatest/Silent Generation in-betweeners who had kids in the 1950s. And like the insufferable brats that they went on to raise, I hope the generation being raised by us becomes a bunch of dirty hippie revolutionaries…

You have much more experience with Brunswick than me. I toured Bowdoin and went to a few lectures there, but I didn’t even stay in town overnight as there was a cool old inn in the Harpswells that stayed open all year despite doing just about all of its business in the summer. So I had an entire ancient mansion on an…

Thank you so much!! I’ve always been curious about Lewiston. I’ve been through Biddeford a few times on trips to the beach. NEC seems to get bigger every year but there’s no easy way for students to get into the downtown, especially during winter. It’s interesting that Bates wants to distance itself from the town…

He's a war hero, but he's also a shitty, shitty communicator. His word choice was awkward and ambiguous to say the least, plus citing events from the 1960s in response to a question about enemies made on the campaign trail in 2015 suggests a poor grasp on time and space.

Lewiston was described to me as a quintessential New England college town when I went on a tour of Bates. The description checked out cognitively because of the college’s size in relation to the town’s size, even though Lewiston didn’t look or seem like much of a college town to me. Not like, say, Brunswick, Hanover,…

If Trump wants to make a fool of himself on NBC, so be it. Allowing someone to make a mess of already poorly-written comedy hardly constitutes an endorsement. On the other hand, NBC and all major networks - not to mention Presidential candidates - ought to be taken to task for not taking the narrative about Hispanic…

Yeah, I wasn’t sure which “race” you were talking about. Team Clinton’s newest MO seems to be forecasting general election doom and gloom if Sanders wins, which strikes me as useless fearmongering, so I just assumed. We’re probably not going to agree here, but evidence such as post-debate polls, post-debate…

Polls show a strong likelihood of Sanders clobbering Trump in a general election: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/pr…

Disagreed. “Karl, sit down and write a synopsis for a show that no one will ever watch” could easily become the industry’s new hit-making formula. It’s got to be better than “Give Chuck Lorre a huge pile of money and tape-record 25 years of canned laughter." Likewise, "Karl, which candidate is totally unelectable?" is…

I’m experiencing something similar as a guy with no kids. I’ve always had a lot of women as friends and seem to get ghosted out of the friendship when they get married and have children. One of my very best friends just got engaged and I’m losing sleep over her going the same way. And I’m kind of worried about getting…

Hi. I’m sorry for showing up to the party a day late. I’m also sorry because what I’m about to write is extremely harsh.

Everybody knew it was a Franzen quote long before the jump, right?

Here you go:

“No, it’s actually the history of:

I'm a white man and can tell you this: Any white man who asks a black woman, “Did you get your hair did?” learned everything he knows about black culture from “Work It” by Missy Elliot and should not be trusted by anyone to do anything in any capacity.

I’d argue that Trump’s figures would continue to decline if the other candidates weren’t so crazy. But Carson seems like he can’t start alienating voters fast enough, so many who shifted allegiances from Trump to Carson will likely go back. Everybody hates Bush. Fiorina might pull ahead some more but not to the point…

Well, then... I can’t get that Bugs Bunny sawing off Florida gif to load, but it pretty much sums up all my thoughts on this matter.

Who needs partners when you’ve got an invisible hand, amirite?

I mean... I’m appalled by the lack of full-time, benefited employment options for young people who need to support themselves (from all gender backgrounds) as well. But that’s a reason to vote for Democrats, not to commit mass murders.
