In one of the various links above – or perhaps a link-within-a-link – he explicitly states that when he was 15, “someone” at his church (of which his dad was the pastor) “got this idea” that all the kids in the youth group should pledge celibacy and wear rings, and the kids all agreed; he says that none of them really…

I’m sure we’re supposed to be all “wah wah poor widdle millionaires” but hot damn if I wouldn’t also be fed up with that crap. 8:30 AM is a perfectly reasonable time to start construction work. 6 GODDAMN AM IS NOT.
And for the girls, it sets them up so that the public feels even more entitled to police and shame them for their sexual choices and modesty choices throughout their teens and 20's than they would be if they hadn't started out as young teens on kids' networks talking about how chaste they were going to be.
And also, because there are so many constant tweaks going on about what makes a man a man, constantly having sex feels like one of those things that remains proof of your manly bonafides.
I’m glad he’s getting out there. That was one of the creepier things about late 1990s/early 2000s pop music, the whole “public virginity pledge”. Remember when Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Bros, Jessica Simpson, and Britney Spears did them?
Interesting is more important than good, sometimes. That’s how I wound up feeling about Highrise. We’ll see if it makes my list of summer theater outings, especially with Fringe starting soon...
He really learned his lesson at least. Don’t pass amendments you fundamentally oppose to make a point, boys and girls of congress. Especially when you’re so conservative that what seems preposterously progressive to you is acceptable to Mitch McConnell.

“As for the question of small businesses, “the fact of the matter is if the only way a business can succeed is by working someone at 60 hours a week for $25,000 a year, if the profit margin is that small, then that business has really big problems in and of itself,” she said. “That’s not the model we need to embrace…
100% Babies making ridiculous faces = the best. My best friend and I used to put wigs on her daughter when she was a baby and take photos. Also highly entertaining. We’re assholes.
My niece has a daughter who has an amazing glare of evil. If you do something she doesn't like and she hits you with that glare, I swear, you take a step back because you're worried she got ahold of a knife somehow and she's coming to cut you.
My friend’s baby boy is a cutie pie who has mastered the side eye AND the “I’m not impressed” looks. He’s almost 5 months old. I’m obsessed with him.
There’s a photo of my niece on her first encounter with snow.
