I had a baby! His name is Edward Douglas and he was born the day after Valentine’s Day. He’s pretty much the love of my life even though I’m breastfeeding like 8 hours a day and I’m stupid tired. I was really scared about post-partum depression because I am higher risk for it (my mom had it, I have had prior bouts of…

This is a good place as any to pitch a Rose Madder movie. Come on, the book’s not bad!

Having gotten stuck taking off the sports bra I keep for emergencies as recently as last week, I feel so seen. 

True, but I am using “Miranda Priestly” as a manufactured archetype that's being imposed only on Klobuchar.

You can definitely be a garbage human being in real life without being the villain from a movie.

I think it was a very practical solution to a minor inconvenience. The fact that she snapped at the assistant who failed to bring a fork is the reason this story is out (as in, “see, she’s such a bitch.”). I have no doubt every candidate is tough on staff; but just she’s had the “imperious boss lady” storyline…

When I read “comb” I immediately pictured one of those hair picks, which are basically large, short-handled forks and often very sharp. Granted, the story does simply say “comb”, but if one assumes a little imprecision in language or lack of specificity in storytelling, it makes good logical sense.

Enough with the Amy Klobuchar as Miranda Priestly stories. Amy Klobuchar has high staff turnover. Okay, but it’s nothing compared to Donald Trump’s staff turnover!

One might think this new visa policy should be an affront to “the party of family values” but one would be wrong.

My colleague Rich Juzwiak once said that’s because it’s full of sugar, but I’d rather put a splash of something sweet in my coffee than risk it with whole milk.

I think the Tristan/Jordyn/Khloe thing is at least semi-fake. Like, I can believe he cheated and the relationship is over, but cheating with his girlfriend’s sister’s best friend? That’s just so incredibly stupid and hurtful on both their parts that it boggles the mind. My theory is that he and Khloe did really break…

I can’t say you’re wrong because TX commenters are saying the same. But I honestly don’t see a path for Beto to win the Democratic primary until he at least proves he can win a statewide race. In the last 100 years, Presidents who haven’t been Veeps have all been Governors or Senators. The two exceptions to the rule…

The state must now expend taxpayer dollars and resources because of Harris’ piss poor judgement and lack of scruples. The election ads for McCready and the NC dems practically write themselves.

Why is Trump endorsing Cornyn now? Could it be that Beto O’Rourke is considering a run - not for president - but against Cornyn for that Senate seat in 2020?

If Jussie Smollett staged this whole thing - the letter and the physical attack - as a ploy to get a more lucrative contract, he has done a terrible disservice to both the black community and the LGBTQ community, which he both belongs to and used for his own game.

Seeing the Trumps getting all kissipoo at a Thanksgiving table would make me lose my cranberry sauce.

And yet, how much of this must we take on ourselves? I’m part North African by descent; and, believe me, for the longest time, any time there was an attack of some sort, the mantra would break out: Please let it not be Arab (or Muslim)*; please let it not be Arab or Muslim; please let it not be Arab or Muslim. Until…

This is as good a place as any to go on record about this - the quarter pounder with cheese is at least a bajillion times better than the Big Mac. Heck, I’d be tempted to go with the two cheeseburger combo over the Big Mac.
