okay Caity Weaver + Tiffany Haddish is a matchup I can get behind. brb off to mainline that GQ article, which I assume will overwhelm me with charming absurdity.

Actual footage from last week of Ivanka learning how mirrors work.

Also, too bad her dad is now posturing wildly on Twitter about veto-ing “the omni.” Somebody’s not on message!

This is such a beautiful sentence; I’m a little verklempt.

Wait...are you trying to tell me that this guy, this prime physical specimen, this Tough Guy (tm), wouldn’t come out swinging and emerge triumphant from almost any match-up, anytime, anywhere?

In addition,

I have am nearly fully transitioned to Ally*, and it’s not a fancy app, but I find it great for this kind of thing. Once you have an account, it’s incredibly easy to open additional savings accounts - just a couple of clicks. I currently have 5 savings accounts with them 1) general personal 2) future down payment 3)…

The same person who felt that

The naked racism of flagging “foreign-sounding names” as likely illegal voters literally made my jaw drop. Really nothing should surprise me at this point, but here we are.

I honestly can’t imagine anything more fitting.

This is what I don’t understand. If I had anywhere near the money she has, I’d be retired on my own private island in a hot second - maybe I’d dabble in some light consulting or start writing that novel. What in gods name is her motive for taking a public-facing, relatively thankless, more-than-full-time job, with a…

YUP, this a thousand times over. My husband’s boss (young female professor) had a baby a week ago, and she was on email with him about a project the morning she went into labor, and the day after - not even a 24-hour hiatus. She has not been physically back into the office yet, but he says that for all intents and…

The idea of 39 weeks paid leave makes me want to cry - it’s a punch in the gut to imagine something like that as the norm for women outside the US. I can’t even imagine how much easier that would make having a kid.

better paternity pay and at least 12 weeks leave offered to a new father.

THIS. It’s a basic tenet of (good) leadership that you are responsible for everything under you. I am small-potatoes in charge of people and things at work, and when someone who reports to me fucks up, it is my job to assume responsibility for that mistake when describing the problem (and the solution) to anyone…

lol. yup, totally. just imagining the poor teen girl who picks up this book: “well, I’d better get that abortion if I don’t want everyone around me to die in a fiery wreck, I guess?”

Well, no, but when you’re branching into a whole new kind of cooking it’s the usual “do I really want to buy a whole container of saffron/anise/etc to try this recipe?” deal. I have a pretty well stocked spice rack but I’ve certainly seen recipes for curries that would require a half dozen spices I don’t currently…

That’s a good point. My experiences were in line with the comments above (minimal savings on prep, tons of packaging waste). Also, I am already a decent cook so following a recipe for stuff I’d typically just eyeball (e.g. coleslaw) is annoying and restrictive. However, a week’s worth of Thai or Indian or Jamaican…

which, if I were an orthodontist who ended up in heaven, the last thing I’d want to do is take care of a bunch of angel kids while God waited for their parents to die. Though my idea of heaven is like, a joint, a martini, and a good book, so...I may not be an expert on biblical-variant Jesus-God-and-angels style…

Mandy and Bobby’s relationship, we learn, is “never the same,” probably because he tried to coerce her into having an abortion!
