You make a fair point as well, but I think there is a significant demographic (pointing no fingers at the author) who fall into the category of sitting on the couch rolling their eyes at their parents huffing about how they want to be treated like adults, but aren’t asking themselves how they could better act like…

Tip from an adult: stay in a hotel when visiting family. It helps anxiety to be able to remove yourself from family and recharge on your own.

The mark of adulthood isn’t being married or having kids or having a 401(k), it’s accepting (even embracing!) that not everything is supposed to be tailored to you in particular.

The tax bill also removes both student loan interest deduction...Those seeking advanced degrees could owe 300 percent more each year thanks to a provision in the plan that taxes tuition waivers.

I WANT to be excited about this. Period dramas are my jam and this is one of my favorite books. And I don’t mind multiple adaptions, there are at least two Pride and Predjudice adaptations that I really love. But every time I see something for this one it just makes me want to re-watch the Winona Ryder one.

He certainly doesn’t understand the important role he is playing in the lives of the dogs in his world.

I look forward to all the thinkpieces tomorrow about how the GOP needs to understand the concerns and needs of black women if it expects to win any more elections.

The way I see it, at least one of two things need to start happening with American policing (ideally both), either we actually start having gun control laws that work so that officers aren’t always functioning under a somewhat reasonable assumption that anyone and everyone might have a gun at all times, or we start…

Am I the only one who would prefer all of these creeps NOT apologise? It’s not like anyone is gaining anything from the perfunctory ‘I’m sorry if anyone felt bad, I need to soul-search and realise how truly amazing I am - so amazing that I don’t need to rape!’

That’s the thing that really grinds my gears. The story that you always, always hear from these guys is that they aren’t unreasonable, or bad people. They’re just self-reliant, good people who want to be free of busybody outsiders who don’t understand their lives and don’t know their problems telling them what to do…

I’ve fucking had it up to here with all the people looking around incredulously, pretending to be stupefied that the word “Pocahontas” is now somehow off-limits. It’s not the word itself, you nitwits, and you damn well know it.

I think a major challenge for J.Crew/Gap/Banana/American Eagle is two-fold:

John Oliver’s segment on Charlie Rose’s on-set creepiness just took on a whole new meaning...

That sounds about right. I’m sure he doesn’t remember grabbing this woman’s ass. I’m also sure he’s aware he’s grabbed lots of women’s asses.

I am certain he doesn’t remember this particular photo. I don’t specifically remember every photo I’ve taken, and I haven’t taken nearly as many as a celebrity and Senator like Franken.

As far as the photo, I mostly agree with you - it doesn’t look to me like he actually touched her, but instead was just aiming for “hey look, I’m pretending like I’m going to grope this unconscious woman against her will, HA HA SO FUNNY.” It’s disgusting, offensive, and incredibly disrespectful towards her, but if he…

It seems clear from her story that she wanted to avoid the kiss, and that he pushed her beyond what is normally expected and what she indicated she was comfortable with. I’m not an actor but I’m pretty sure tongue isn’t standard in onstage kisses. Also, it’s pretty common for dudes to write hot women into their scenes…

You know, if you’ve actually been convicted of assault, I’m okay with you not being able to buy a gun regardless of whether it was your girlfriend, your father, or a stranger. You typically have to injure someone pretty badly for it not to be shrugged off or treated as disorderly conduct.

Roy Moore was banned from his local mall for being a creep. Given how terrible you have to be to get banned from a single department store - especially as a rich white dude who isn’t shoplifting - I can’t imagine the levels of creeper needed to get banned from the whole building.

Uh, also can you call it an apology if he never, not once said he was sorry but did find a way to talk about how admired he is twice?
