In the words of Ta-Nehisi Coates: “It’s the cameras that are new. It’s not the violence that’s new.”

Still mourning John Berger:

The girl who lived—

I asked the receptionists in the physicians’ office last year to change the channel when Trump was speaking. (He was a guest on “Live with Kelly and Michael.”)

They looked at me as if I were insane. I explained that while Trump hadn’t said anything offensive yet (I’d just walked in), he almost certainly would. And I…

In the words of Dan Werly: “Freedom of speech does not necessarily mean freedom from consequence.” Maybe she should talk with Kurt Schilling about that...

Don’t get me started—

Oh puh-leeze:

I believe a Deadspin commentator summed it up as “not being an @$$#013.” Hard to argue with that...

(Not a lawyer here) Any idea whether this applies to getting bumped? I’ve had that happen twice; and on both occasions, my/our checked baggage was completely 4v(<3D. I’ve read what I believe to be the applicable parts of this legislation, but think they were unwilling to address that...

And if Roger Federer wants to marry you—have looked in vain for a photo of the comparably sized emerald on Mirka’s right hand (believe she got that after the second set of twins)...

Delusional con artist with suspect hair: I got your third-party candidate right here—

I do think it’s a big deal. If writing is your life, you should have no trouble recognizing the craft of one whose gender is different from yours.

Great athletes or musicians do not care about the gender of another truly phenomenal player. I think an author who is incapable of recognizing the excellence of any gender…

“The past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.”

For me, this is the GOAT: on a par with “The Taco Trilogy” (and I do not say that lightly). Stick with it through Laundromat Keycard’s comment:

I beg to differ—I might check out what the Jezzies are up to on Deadspin. To each his/her own...

52 years old, had a 4v(< buddy as a teenager, knew I was not interested in a relationship with that dude. Reject the notion that I am an anomaly—
