If you’re willing to be the back half of a moose, I’ve got a plan...

If it had been tuna, this story would be epic!

Thank you. People forget that, for every studio exec and pampered movie star, there are hundreds of extremely talented workers behind the scenes whose jobs depend on the entertainment industry (which is one of this country’s largest).

Where’s a whistleblower when you need one?

A few years ago, maybe 2013 or 14, Secretary Hillary Clinton came to my work (not Wall Street, tech company) for a fireside chat and to promote her book. She talked at length about her experience as SOS, and one thing she discussed was how much “small offenses” matter to so many leaders and countries around the world,

Thanks Obama!

Shit.... this is hard. Well I guess I would have to say... umm...

My cramps were strong for a few weeks and then tapered off quickly. I honestly thought they were from having a baby and didn’t realize they were caused by the IUD.

I’m really hoping you guys skip the snark tonight. This is not only a singular, seminal moment, but this woman is trying her level best to beat a fucking fascist. The gravity, the significance, of this night means something — to women, to people of color, to every religion and nation and more that tomorrow Donald

You used an em dash! Thank you!

Are they an elderly Christian boy band? There’s a uniformity here that’s says to me these guys love the Lord and might like to harmonize and do little rap about how cool purity is.

Syria isn’t just “attacked” by one clearly defined super villain - it is fighting a bloody civil war with a myriad of different factions fighting each other PLUS the government bombing everyone PLUS Russia bombing PLUS daesh trying to gain new territory. Please tell me, what exactly is the average, peace-loving Syrian

First of all, everyone isn’t leaving and of those who have, many are waiting in refugee camps until they can return home safely. Nobody’s leaving because they actually wanted to be chased out of their homes by bombs and extremist nut jobs and a myriad of fighting factions. How exactly would you suggest that these

Well, you’re analogy is bad because as it stands now the US isn’t being lead by a tyrannical dictator intent on committing genocide against his own people just because he can. The choice for Syrian men isn’t fight for your country or flee; the choice here is get conscripted by a crazy person who’s likely actively

It’s the last day of Ramadan. Would eat salted granola covered with butter right now.

I find this topic to be so interesting. When I bought a condo a few years ago I got a 15 year mortgage and, doing the math, realized that I could afford to pay it off in 7 years if I really tried. But the more I looked into it the more I realized that probably isn’t the smartest financial move (at least for me).

Interesting there’s no mention of interest rates in here. The decision to pay off debt quickly vs. slowly is hugely dependent on how expensive that debt is. If you are paying 2% on a car loan and can earn 4% on low-risk investments, you’re better off investing that cash and paying down the loan over time.

In the past whenever I came across a financial windfall, I would use the entire amount to immediately pay down credit card debt. The problem with this is that it left me with little or no cash in case of emergencies.

You will do the Gawker family a huge favor if you post that picture every time some incredibly insane-but-true story is posted over at the Slot. It will help all of us as we try to survive this election season. PS: If you are in California, enjoy your Presidential primary. I live in New York and we never used to have
