When we had our baby, the nurse gave him all sorts of compliments. We dismissed, laughed and commented that they just say that to all the parents. The nurse responded quickly and gave us this urgent look and said “no, all babies are not cute or good looking.” She continued:

“Sometimes we just don’t know what to say.…

During our conversations, it dawned on me that I live in a news bubble, over-analyzing the tone of every headline and tweet. I see these matters as critical to free speech and find it invaluable that journalists like Masha Gessen, Matt Taibbi, and Glenn Greenwald have thoroughly documented much of the neo-Cold War…

Matt Novak is not well-known for his attention to detail. Just go along with it.

I love my Fiesta, but while I’m driving it I’m mostly thinking “I can’t wait to pay this off and trade it in for a Subaru.”

Because there are certain aspects of science denials that are squarely in the liberal left.

The autism from vaccines isn’t rooted in the liberal left. It’s sorta all over the place from right to left political spectrum. Perhaps less in the middle, but there too. If anything it is rooted in Libertarian ideology and…

In certain industries, like publishing, you’re basically laughed out the door if you deal in anything but .doc files.

This hit University staff and faculty at my college yesterday. Was under control VERY quickly.

In this particular case Winter’s work could be protected as a parody if he pushed the matter.

I just want to hip in and say that you can likely self-repair a Jansport bag for as long as you want with very little effort and skill (giving it character in the process), which basically invalidates this whole argument.

Lifetime warranties are pretty odd little percs that should only really matter on complex devices…

Although it is generally true that parents shouldn’t be obsessed with it and that everyone doesn’t need to go to college, statistically it’s a pretty fucking good idea.

And the way things are going, trying to get a job without a 4-year diploma is only going to get much more difficult.

Wait... wtf... isn’t this suppose to be a PS3 game?

You probably should keep you kids from playing [most] online games not because of the toxic behavior, but because there are so many enriching things you can encourage them to do before they decide for themselves that they want to use free time to play games.

Oddly enough, I think it is the opposite. I think it is a position that is sought after and romanticized.

I’ve seen the position featured as a subject in North Korean art quite a few times.

Because it is largely untouched by the west?
