I’m not condoning the reporter’s questions,, but that’s some A+ parenting right there. The mom is curiously inattentive to the suffering of her child.

The kid who did the project was terribly served by his teachers. I hope someone with empathy and some g*****n sense talked to him so that he doesn’t feel humiliated, marginalized, and resentful, since the last thing we need is an Asian Stephen Miller. And I hope the teachers who greenlit that project are dealt with…

“She seems to be referring literally to paintings being removed from museums or something, but Martin presses to ask about Woody Allen.”

This headline made me lol. Thank you!

I helped prepare a DACA application that was ultimately successful. I have a doctorate and a strong record of research and publication, and I found the DACA application to be one of the most difficult projects I ever participated in! Even if you have the filing fee, you still have to have the skills and language…

That’s revolting.

I will add, he gave what seemed to be a genuine apology to the court. He said himself that he didn’t want to “upstage” his daughters, so at least he seems to appreciate that it ain’t about him.

What a complete ass. The dad made it all about him and his wounded masculinity. Way to be there for your daughters! The judge should have held him responsible, because he didn’t just attack a pedophile—he disrespected the court and the victims.

The Church of Latter Day Saints has been threading this same needle for awhile, that gay people can be gay, they just can’t do gay things. It’s a sinister message for young people growing up in the church, because they either remain closeted and never get to experience their actual sexuality, or they come out and then…

Wow, this lady is awesome!

Hydraguard: They use this on patients in hospitals. It’s got silicone in it, so that creates a barrier that drives the moisture into your skin and makes your skin a little more waterproof. Expensive but worth it—I keep it next to my sink. (I don’t have a dishwasher, so my dishpan hands are epic.)

Yeah, the personality changes with my mom have been striking. You have my sympathy—it’s hard to maintain loving support for someone who is consistently mean to you. If Trump does have dementia, I still feel for his family. I wouldn’t wish this disease on anyone.

I’m sorry about your mom. It’s so hard, on everybody. <3

Not really. As I just said in my comment, my mother was deeply compromised when she first took the MCA. Now she has full-blown Alzheimer’s. We covered for her in the early stages, and I’m sure his staff and family cover for him. But, we’re just ordinary folks! Running interference meant dealing with waiters and…

My mother has Alzheimer’s disease. It has been a long, slow progression. But even when she could have aced this assessment, she was still deeply compromised—not someone who should be serving on a jury, making medical decisions for herself or others, or driving a car. So, unfortunately that Trump passed the MCA proves…

Jezebel is trying to thread a needle here between being an unfailing champion of accusers and recognizing the problems inherent in the Babe piece. I think what’s missing, from the Babe story but also this essay, is any inclusion of or reference to the words & actions Grace & Ansari surely exchanged in between the…

Everything about this is great, except for putting it online. I don’t like the racial subtext—kindly white people making a performance out of their generosity and the black recipient’s gratitude. Also, there are privacy implications. There is tremendous stigma around homelessness, especially for children. Many…

I’ve personally TNR’d 9 feral cats in my neighborhood, so I am not anti-cat. But I am anti-dumb. This issue isn’t about choosing not to kill the animal one likes best. It’s about creating conditions that allow native species to thrive amidst a challenge from a very aggressive invasive species. Please do some research!

No, THANK YOU.

Wow, this lady is awesome. AWESOME!
