My ex drowned in a diving accident. I would never watch this; I might ask someone else to watch it and I would definitely preserve it just in case our kid might want to watch it when she is an adult, but I would never, ever watch. There are some images I don’t need in my head. 

If you haven’t read “The Only Harmless Great Thing,” stop what you’re doing right now and go read it; it’s that good. 

I realize Portnoy is a dipshit, but what is there to debate? He threatened employees who discussed unionizing, on Twitter. The NLRB told him to knock it off, because what he’s doing is illegal. AOC said, no, really, your behavior is likely illegal. So Portnoy will debate what, exactly? There’s no question that he…

My Y is $64/month for a family membership. Between my kid’s swim team and morning spin class, I feel like I live there.

Daytona wings are grilled rather than fried. 

He was a john. Nothing of value was lost.

He’s white tho. So no one would do anything like, idk, cuff him, tie the cuffs to a rope and lead him through town behind a horse. 

He hasn’t apologized, he hasn’t said anything that indicates that he understands that what he did was shitty and wrong, he hasn’t tried to educate other men, he’s just all “whoops, some people said some stuff so.”

Can you be forgiven? Sure. Will that take some actual work and not just a weird awkward non-apology? Yes.…

If you get a wool sweater, wash it on cold and gentle cycle. Better still, put it in a mesh laundry bag. Then lay it flat on a folded towel, kind of push it into shape, and let it dry like that. Don’t ever put it in the dryer.

I do that too. My husband teases me every time he asks which way to turn and I surreptitiously hold my thumb and forefinger out.  

It seems to work for men. 

CloudFlare is fixing to IPO. Matthew Prince is no stranger to shittiness—he formed a company called Unspam, which did not much that anyone can tell, and then lobbied the Utah legislature to require that anyone who sent adult oriented email had to scrub their list against a registry that Unspam would run and mailers…

I would have rather seen Whiskey Cavalier renewed than The Rookie. 

Dan LeBatard would actually be perfect. 

I am there for Criminal Mimes. The only show on TV that wouldn’t need closed captioning!

I like working. It’s important to my mental health. I became disabled and couldn’t work for about two years and I was miserably unhappy. Now I am working again, and life is much better and I am much happier despite still being disabled.

Except, read it again. Biden’s proposal was for $30k in 1981, which is about $88k now. 

No, it was $30k in 1981, which is equivalent to $88k now. 

Would we? Squandering the talents and abilities of one half of the population by keeping them out of the workforce for several years seems to be the antithesis of “better off” to me. 

That’s not how this works, sorry. Both parties have to agree to keeping something off the record. You should assume that every time you communicate with a reporter that it is on the record and thus fair game for publication. The thing to do here is to say, “Hi, I have some things I’d like to tell you about this story…
