It’s a whole different ballgame when it’s your own parent. It took a lot of courage for you to push forward knowing the implications it would have on your own psyche. You are stronger than most, and should be commended for doing something that was extremely difficult, particularly in light of the ultimate consequences.

Seriously people, I don’t need to keep being told that it’s an opinion piece and not reflective of the views of the NYT editors. You do all understand they still choose what to publish right? They’re not just publishing every opinion piece submitted to them. And they still have a duty to publish stuff that isn’t total…

That’s really confusing, because Alec Baldwin also has a blonde daughter who is a professional model.

Reminds me of the bare chest photos a pap took of Kate Middleton many years ago. The British press wouldn’t print them, but an Italian magazine jumped at the chance. The editor said it was Kate’s own fault for being outside topless. She’d been sunbathing alone with her boyfriend/husband on a friend’s private property…

Thanks, I’ve only lived in the US the past 6 years and only in NY and DC so not aware of laws regarding these things.

I’m sure they do, so long as they never set foot outside/have no chance of visitors. Probably happens once in a while, but I would bet not very often.

Head on back to Warsaw, comrade.

But it is the electric company’s problem. There are varying laws in every state banning electric companies from shutting off power for non-payment depending on the temperature, medical conditions, etc.

Not the electric company’s problem? Fuck you to hell and back. Trump doesn’t pay millions of dollars in bill and they make him president. But don’t pay your electrical bill and your entire life is suddenly worth nothing at all? Sucks to be you.

Im glad we dont live in one’a them commie countries with so-shul-ized medicine where a bunch’s byooo-ro-krats decide who lives and dies.

Yeah, where I grew up the local river was so contaminated by industrial waste that all the vegetation was dead three feet up the bank. Nobody learned to swim unless they had the money for private lessons from a pool. 

Can Elon just fuck off already?

I spent a week in Ireland a few years ago. After only a couple of days, I found myself developing the accent. Apparently, I am particularly sensitive to picking up accents.

Husband moved with her, happy to report he still sounds Posh AF.

As someone who unconsciously starts absorbing the regional accent of wherever I am for longer than a week, I appreciate that there are folks who understand. I’m always so worried people think I’m making fun of them or something but I can’t help it, it just starts happening and I don’t even really notice. 

Okay Madge definitely put it on. I hear it with Meghan but I will verify right now after a couple weeks with my English family, shit just starts coming out different. It’s not so much an accent, it’s an inflection. And it’s contagious. I'll cut her a break for now.

We’ve already failed the “what would you do if you were alive in Germany when the Nazi’s were coming to power test.” That lady that climbed the Statue of Liberty passes, but the rest of us fail.

Like Obama said, when they go low, you dox them.

No, it would be awesome if the cops enforced the damned law and arrested the white man for filing a false 911 report.

I respectfully disagree. This guy was almost certainly a bully in school. He grew out of using physical violence to bully people and now finds other means to do it, probably especially to people of color. Calling the police is an easy way to be a bully since it transfers any potential direct conflict to the responding…
