The thing is they don’t do the damage a car does. This is an argument that drivers make so they can makes themselves feel like they shouldn’t be responsible for the safety of road users who are more vulnerable than themselves. I fully think cyclists need to be subject to the laws of the road: tickets for running red…

I am delighted that Russell Brand refers to the precious ‘sanctimony’ of marriage where he means the sanctity. Because he is one sanctimonious motherfucker, piously devoted to the church of Russell Brand.

I’m rather sly.

But Franken also majored in government and graduated cum laude from Harvard...

Within our family we are decidedly atheist and it’s definitely a thing we talk about. We’ve also talked about how to respond should someone’s parents ask about his religious beliefs or invite him to church or something. I know a lot of these proselytizing types will shamelessly go after someone else’s kid so I want my…

The week before my son turned 1 (and I was frantically planning a 50 person party single-handed one a shoestring budget) my sister with dual degrees in early childhood development and k-12 education informed me that he was ‘somewhere on the spectrum, but definitely autistic, probably cuz you had a midwife’ while I was…
