This seems like a good time to remind everyone that Elizabeth Warren has an awesome Golden Retriever and actually knows how to interact with a good dog.

Our priorities are low.

None of us like to be reminded of that election. Which underscores how profoundly self-centered and short-sighted it was for Sanders to run again in the first place. Sanders’s refusal to exit stage left and allow a new generation (which for him, means Baby Boomers) unencumbered by the bitterness of 2016 to take up the…

“It’s not only him, it’s the culture around him. It’s his leadership team. It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online Bernie Bros and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women...he has permitted this culture.”

She does speak some truth though. He was a johnny come lately to the Democratic party, just to self servicingly win the presidency, who then complained that he wasn’t treated like a long standing member. His tepid endorsement of Hilary followed by his bros spouting “Never Hillary” nonsense certainly didn’t help her…

The team that cut Kaepernick for his protests even though they didn't have anyone better to replace him with? There is no moral high ground to be found in any NFL team.

I legit once had an almost-boyfriend who couldn’t believe that his mother didn’t bring her own towel when she came to visit. Her. Own. Towel. As in, he did not have an extra set of towels.

My dream house is actually made up of pods: tiny homes connected by a large deck with a fire pit in the middle. Each pod is a single room: separate bedrooms,a library, a living room, a kitchen pod, bathroom pod. Need another bedroom? Build another pod! The whole deck would be circular with the pods coming off like…

For a not inconsiderable portion of the population marriage is as much an economic choice as an emotional one, though we're loath to admit it. Maintaining one household with two incomes (hopefully) is one of the few paths still open to build even a modest measure of wealth. Two houses for a married couple is for most…

No. Even if you’re not vaccinated, you only need a pap smear every 3-5 years. The type of cancer they’re screening you for is slow growing. Years before it even develops into cancer, the cells start to look wonky under a microscope. And even if you have wonky cells, most of them never develop into cancer, but they’re…

You mean someone who made his whole career extrapolating anecdotes did lazy work vetting his resources? Say it isn’t so! He’s a hack and I’m not at all surprised that he didn’t think for one second about these victims as anything but fodder for a story. 

I am going to be the only one... but... the tail grosses me out. 

Alternatively: Use our words like adults and ask them to recline their seat a bit less.

So why not wait until universal access to reliable birth control with no side effects is an actual reality to say that abortion should be rare?

Why say it should be rare when neither of the things that would make it rare are even close to occurring?

Everyone should listen to the Citations Needed podcast on “financial inspiration” stories like this. It’s all a con to make a few people richer and make the rest of us feel like failures. https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/episode-77-frugality-fables-and-the-poor-shaming-grift-of-financial-advice-journalism

It’s not “curious” that Warren won’t say middle class taxes will be raised, because middle class expenses will go down significantly (no out-of-pocket medical expenses). Yet the minute she says taxes will be raised, even within the context of the point, the GOP will pounce on the line and use it in every attack ad…

Both her dogs, of different ages, died on the same day? Wtf happened?

Yet her parents are wonderful, healthy and adorably snarky. They are special septuagenarians. The rest of us olds are shite.

Right? As if, regardless of size, having a heart attack IS NOT a medical emergency? 

Thank you for this, Stassa. I made a similar comment under a story a few days ago, and I watched the 60 minutes segment last night. I had a similar reaction. I was uncomfortable with the framing of both the Texas Ranger and of Little. When he spoke in the interviews, it’s clear he’s not a genius, nor did he come…
