What often gets glossed over is that her experience is a very Irish one. We’re a similar age and our upbringings were full of the same cloying religiosity and stark hypocrisy that passed for “normal” back then.

So is he supposed to not get treatment for his compulsions?

We all know what happens when the President’s daughter falls for a Secret Service agent!

One casualty of my office-working days was a super snarky article from the Economist about the advice of “Great Men” like Cook, Gates, Jobs, Bezos, etc. I loved it so much that I laminated it and put it on my individual fridge in the hopes that my clueless agency head would read it and see himself. (He never did…

*Juneau. Come on.

The second greatest thing I’ve ever seen in public, the first being a golden retriever stealing a whole bag of hamburgers with medical precision, was a man in cargo pants at the airport. He was late for his flight so we all let him cut us, and then he started emptying his pockets, and emptying, and emptying. I swear…

I’m assuming people who HBO wanted to write about it got screeners.  Not sure on anyone else.  Only episode 1 is out widely. 

I tend to feel the same way, but at this point it’s just that: a feeling. It seems to me that a generation of young people are getting some really disturbing and misogynistic sex-education via internet porn.
