Makes you wonder what exactly a “brilliant” director has to do to actually get fired.

(I still have no idea who Britt McHenry is, and I’ve looked into it.)

It's too good that this story begins: "I went on a trip to Nantucket". Need to work on making the rest rhyme, though.

I worked for an HIV Hotline for 2 years... people woule call CONSTANTLY after having taken, say 10 tests, years after a potential exposure, still convinced that they were positive but that the doctors were lying or the tests didn’t work. They always shared their “symptoms” in detail. WebMD and weird medical internet…

In the summer of 2002, I came home from college to find all the furniture in my mother’s home piled in the center of the living room as she attacked it with some sort of spray. My sister, who just finished first grade, had a head lice scare at school and she was being proactive.

My brother has this delusion and it has completely ruined his life. Well, I guess in fairness it’s probably his drug addiction that has ruined his life, and is probably what makes him think there are bugs living in his skin.

A Nice Guy™ who knows that women are banging 25 asshole dudes a night instead of him.

Though obviously far, far less serious than his actual crimes, Phillips also missed the block on Aeneas Williams that caused the end of Steve Young’s career:

Headline’s a bit misleading. In general, though, it’s not great to allow a doc to cut on you for the hospital’s convenience. If you can get an experienced nurse-midwife, you can give birth in-hospital with (I’m guessing generally, not just locally) a lower chance of c-section. I’d likely have had one had I gone with…

So if you get a c-section that somehow helps a woman in Africa get one? Is this like those Toms shoes where they donate a pair for every pair that they sell?
