They are NOTHING like Nicholas Sparks! Who the hell said that? Can they read?

Roxane Gay said it really well on Twitter today: You are entitled to be curious. You are not entitled to the satisfaction of your curiosity.

I’m a millennial and these books blew my mind and ruled my life. Read them or don’t, but don’t hate.

My sister (whose opinion I highly respect regarding books) gave me the first one and I didn’t pick it up for a year based solely on the stupid cover. But once I did, I couldn’t stop reading them or thinking about them. Really well written, really beautiful.

Bullshit.

Looking at you Malta, Ireland, and Poland. Shape up or ship out. This is the 21st century you fucks.

Some people don’t like being alone. I am not one of them

Which is why judges shouldn’t be elected. Judges aren’t supposed to be accountable to the public, they’re supposed to be accountable to the law. Making judges accountable to public whims is antithetical to the pursuit of justice.

Question from a non-American: what the fuck is up with electing judges (and sheriffs)? It’s an objectively terrible idea.

I’m sorry but we all need to remember that she and Brad weren’t child rearing all on their own. Please don’t discount the small army of nannies they’ve had for those kids. If his pot use bothered her, that’s one thing and is valid since she’s the other person in the marriage and has every right to tell him to knock it…

Can we stop insulting Gay people by implying that ignorant ass backwards rednecks are closeted?

Because their bias is largely supported by the public that they serve. We’re talking about Alabama, here.

Personally, I’ve never really understood America’s fetish for staffing technical jobs by popular election: Sheriffs, Judges, Notaries, Medical Examiners, State Engineers...

no he’s not. I’m really sick of the homophobic notion that all anti-gay people are closeted. It takes the onus off of straight people’s bigotry and makes it so its all the queer people’s fault. Own it. This guy is straight, just like you, and like you, he’s an asshole.

I get the feeling that electing judges might not be the best way to select objective arbiters of the law.

Has there always been talk of Brad Pitt having issues with alcohol and drug abuse? This is really the first I am hearing about it. I feel embarrassed for him. I hope it is not something she is over-blowing for custody. There are plenty of parents who drink and smoke and do just fine. But if he does have a real…

Alcohol is legal and has destroyed countless lives, with far greater potential for dependence. Your point?

Better get on it, Columbo. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire! Or you’re an idiot.

I have the same reaction. I like her decidedly less since hiring Wasser and Smith. Makes me think she’s out to ruin Brad Pitt.
