Gah. I hope she’s all right and it was just a one-off bad reaction to the combo of wine and pills. How scary for the kid too, damn.

Kudos to the nurses who stepped up to care for a stranger to keep everything calm.

I heard it on NPR too and I was smiling throughout that whole segment. Also Ari Shapiro seemed very excited to point out that Trump misspelled ‘teleprompter’ in his tweet, which I loved.

There is a protest of sorts going on against gun violence—I believe it’s Coalition to End Gun Violence. They are asking people to wear orange today. Perhaps that’s the reason for her orange blouse.

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! And I do hope some of Bernie’s influence holds through. I liked him, and quite a few of his stances, but Hill has been my badass for ages. I went through your feelings in ‘08. And then after a day or two I signed up to campaign for Obama. I don’t regret a thing.

I’m not gray on The Slot anymore???? Oh glorious glorious day! Hillary can work miracles!!! Thank you The Slot!

I heard most of this earlier on NPR and my favorite part was that the commentator talking to the host was nearly giddy as he mentioned that it appeared as though Trump was live tweeting the speech until Clinton commented again about his angry tweets “and that he’s probably writing a few right now”, and then the tweets…

lord have mercy. It’s almost like he’s a crazy person who will say anything to get a cheer from his blind acolytes.

yes, thank you!

i’m getting destroyed by my #neverhillary friends for accepting her as nominee, despite my own beliefs. am i happy about it? no, but third parties aren’t viable winners and i’m not going to just let drumpf have the motherfucking presidency.

ditto ditto ditto ditto ditto

I supported Bernie Sanders during the primary, but I am starting to turn towards Hillary. Trump makes George W. Bush look like a foreign policy expert. I liked Bernie’s ideas and I hope that Clinton adopts some, but I will stand with her as the next president of these United States. Whoa, that felt weird to write. But…

What is this bullshit about “didn’t say it forcefully enough???” And this bullshit of a girl being responsible for knowing and interpreting a boy’s every thought, and knowing what his intentions are? What the hell is wrong with this woman?

Right. I have an acquaitance who once said that if you go to a guy’s house who is clearly interested in you, you should expect to have sex with him, and I was like, hold the fucking phone. I’m 34 years old and have had sex with a lot of people, and I still expect things to generally progress from kissing, to hands and…

Well, I guess “forgot what the word ‘no’ means” is one way to define a breakdown in communication, as would be “incapable of listening to a fellow human being.” I suppose those are technically correct definitions. And isn’t creating tortured definitions for phrases what being an advice columnist is all about?

Yes. I loved Ann Landers. And I still use her meatloaf recipe.

This wasn’t a breakdown of communication. It was a trap laid by an experienced predator complete with his “but I said we might make out!” escape hatch.

Ann Landers was waayyyyy better. I remember as a kid she said a woman could walk down the street naked and it would still be rape. Miss her.

So not only is her rape her own fault for being a bad communicator, but now the fact she’s gotten shitty advice is her fault because she wrote Dear Abby (the longest lasting and most well known of any of those you mentioned) instead of someone else? C’mon now.

“He had made no secret that he wanted sex with you”

Dear Abby,
