I was out and about in Chelsea Saturday night—about 6 blocks away from the bombing—and when we got the news that something had blown up, we paused for a minute and said “shit, what are we supposed to do now?” We carried on with our drinks and then got dinner.

On Lawrence O'Donnell, he had a segment where he talked about New Yorkers for the most part have not fallen prey to the fear/terror that these attacks were intended to provoke. He compared the attitude to that of Londoners during the bombing in World War II - "Keep Calm and Carry On". He also said that the people that…

She’s also not actually qualified. In a modern economy, the Treasury Secretary needs more than an undergraduate econ degree and time being chief of staff to an actual economist.

I can’t imagine a Silicon Valley exec would want to leave just for a job as a secretary.

You could always make up your own mind.

There goes our cash currency.

Lean In and Fuck Up the middle class.

My first freshman college roommate was dating a guy at a college three hours away. He came to visit us about 3 weekends out of 4, and she wanted me to sleep on the floor of someone else’s dorm room those nights so they could have “alone time.”

My former roommate did not take the trash out. Ever. I once left the country for two weeks on a business trip, and he did not take the trash out during that entire time. Even though the entire house smelled like garbage. I nearly killed him.

I lived with a gal I was really really good friends with (2 br apt), who brought over a couple she’d met on a plane and fucked them loudly all night. The night before I had a very important work thing the next day, which I’d told her about weeks in advance, days in advance, and then to all three of them before I went…

In my first apartment, I lived with my best friend and we needed another roommate, so we brought in another girl we thought would be cool that we both kind of knew. She was not cool. She did a lot of weird things, but what stands out to me is that she got a hamster and kept it in her closet (even though we weren’t…

I lived with a wanna-be hippie chick my freshman year (1993, shut up) who had no concept of an inside voice and tried to dye her hair plaid. Yes. Plaid. She also got a sports scholarship but then couldn’t compete because she couldn’t score 700 (total) on the SATs. This was before they revamped the SATs to make…

Freshman year with my roommate (a townie). I came back from the library on a Monday night at 10 PM to find my roommate invited his friends to watch a movie using my non-lofted bed as their sofa. I asked them to sit on the floor so that I could go to bed (had an 8 AM class). I can sleep with lights on, so I didn’t…

I commuted for college, but had a roommate shortly after graduating. She and I both ended very long, serious relationships, and even though I could have scraped by alone, I wanted someone to help share the financial burden. We were friends who had met at work prior to moving in and I knew she came from a shitty family…

My freshman roommate arrived at school a day early and cajoled someone into letting put her stuff in the room. She took the closet without the giant duct running through it, leaving about 10 inches of useable width. She rearranged the furniture so her bed ran lengthwise under the window and brought in a hideous brown…

I had a good one. I lived with two girls, off-campus. We had been friendly before but I wasn’t particularly close to them. One of them turned out to be super into Jesus and had a boyfriend in prison (which she never mentioned before.)

The year it 2007, I am a college freshmen w/ a suitemate that was pretty enough no one ever was like, hey, she’s kind of a whackjob.

Wait, a sports-related website with high-level discussions and liberal-leaning? Is the site called unicorns.com?

His goal was to bring attention to the issue. Despite a loud chorus of opposition from the usual suspects, he stayed firm and others joined in.
