I would absolutely go to this party.

White coastal suburban middle class and affluent women do this. In contrast, wealthy women have the entire time planned for them. Poor women in rural areas do more the “let’s just go get drunk” route.

I found myself taking part in a lap dance wherein each of us gyrated atop the bride, trying to please her, but instead worried the only emotion I aroused in either of us was embarrassment. If this entire bachelorette party was one big attempt at enacting how we thought we were supposed to feel, me grinding on my best…

Yeah, I don’t really get it. If you dont like clubs or public displays of ritualistic group drunkenness, then...don’t?

I take it, you didn’t see girls trip then. No, but this is something I observe among my white girlfriends, “this is the fun plan, and we cannot deviate from the fun plan or else we will not have fun. It doesn’t matter if we’re not having fun, it’s on the fun plan so it must be fun” whereas with my black and latina…

This is why I only had a small smidge of sympathy when I heard the bad news. He’s been towing the party line and screwing thousands of people for years. He’s had rare moments of moral dignity, but most of the time he’s put party of country.

One of my uncles was a police officer. About a year before he was planning to retire he was diagnosed with a minor heart condition. Under the rules established by his union diagnosis of any kind of heart condition is an automatic disability retirement. (Obviously, they don’t want to deal with the liability issues of…

Maybe this will be the thing that makes people start realizing that, you know, he’s not so much a maverick as a complete party hack.

Fuck John McCain.

It’s nice that he’s going the extra mile to fuck a bunch of people over.

He could have voted no by staying home. He’s coming back to vote yes.

But perhaps McCain’s illness will encourage some rigorous self-reflection, and at last, a change of heart. Perhaps he’ll realize that in his last years, he could take a meaningful stand against his increasingly brutal party—and help to save lives in the process.

Told he likely had just months to live, McCain vowed to return to vote on the GOP Healthcare Bill so that he could, “Take as many people to the grave with me as I can.”

Someone politely saying hello—and that’s it—isn’t bothering you, celebrity or not. They were obviously both working out, so it’s not like Tia ran over there and chased her into SoulCycle. I can’t imagine being like “This person who is also taking the same class as me said hello, what an offense.” Also, if you think…

I have simply said “hi” and smiled at celebrities. They usually say “hi” and keep moving. That’s all I want, and I’m not a celebrity myself. I sincerely doubt that Tia Mowry was at SouCycle acting crazy about Charlize Theron, lol. Hell, Regular People have been known to say hello to other Regular People. The other…

I didn’t see anything about her saying her full name. She says she just said “Hi.”

Hopefully, you will never find yourself in the position of having to accept the reality that the child you or your partner carried needed to be let go. Obviously, I don’t believe they’ve been making the best decisions for him or for themselves, but as a parent myself, I don’t have any trouble empathizing with their…

I try not to judge them too harshly. What they are going through is so, so painful, and I can understand at least a little that they don’t want to let go, no matter what the doctors say. That said, they needed to face reality, and sooner than now.

Your lack of empathy says far more about you than it does about them.

You’ve already used that link, its 18 months old, and it’s from Gawker which is dead, and it died because it was evil (and other reasons, but come on).
