This woman is really amazing. I loved the response she had to the question about her mothering style. “I’m trying to let Garvey reveal himself to me.” That one sentence really captures the joy and mystery of watching a new life unfold and develop, and as all parents know, you can neither predict nor control how each…

Do I see SEVEN officers there? Four to hold her and three to stand near? It’s simply unbelievable. This is what’s going on in the world every day.

That’s the thing: think of how many people in a hundred other jobs would be canned immediately if they treated a customer or client this way! Can you imagine if the average dental office staff or gas station attendant treated people this way? Why can those people be fired (especially in “right to work” states,…

Not only are her line’s bra sizes higher than normal for comparable or department store lines, but there are lots of 1x, 2x, 3x sizes in items across the line. I am totally giving her credit for making that part of the rollout and not an afterthought. The models also share those sizes so that you can actually see what…

Her tears magically began when the police pulled up, and ended as soon as it was time to show him the legal codes on her phone.

I took those to be extremely fake, given how quickly they started up upon sighting the police car and then were dropped when it was time to look up charcoal citations on the internet. This woman has big issues.

Two hours of harassing people over a grill, and calling the police over it. What is wrong with people. Now I need to know if the filming lady got her card back.

I have no time for it and I have no idea why anyone else does. Cases like James Brown are far more difficult because the person involved is actually talented and you want to listen to their music.

Brown received a stronger punishment for leaving court ordered rehab than he did for the actual felony assault on a woman. He continues to have a long string of legal encounters. The lesson keeps repeating itself: if we would take violence against women seriously and punish it accordingly, we could start preventing…

They can subtract it from the BILLIONS they receive as a benefit from the tax code changes that began this year thanks to Trump and his Congress.

This is the swamp we were promised would be drained. AT&T will make billions from the tax changes it received from Republicans and Trump.

I wasn’t there so I don’t believe much of what I’ve heard about it.

Why are we still persecuting this woman for giving an ill-advised blow job? Honestly. The priorities are confused here.

Here to fight you. You make many good points. The music is bland, simple. It’s 100% Lauryn. But who can listen to that from about 2:45 onwards and not get a whole-body of goosebumps? You can scrap the whole rest of the song and make it a pure vocal track and it still won’t be overrated, is what I’m saying.

A genius for sure, but it’s interesting that people will describe her as “wise” or having an amazing life experience, yet not so much use the intellectualized “genius” appellation. “We” as a society sometimes grant wisdom to people we are otherwise reluctant to endorse as brilliant intellects of the “genius” variety.…

I agree but note that people may use labels like Queen for brilliant Black women artists because the intellectualized term “genius” is more readily applied to white men of a certain sort. I can’t remember if it was on the Root or another related site - the other day there was an article about the tiny number of Black…

His new speech material about the Russian lawyer was priceless. I never thought she was that important to the story before he said those things.

Washington Post report on this today was interesting. Are the lawyers at Above the Law and other places correct that Mueller’s team discussed the topics and Trump’s lawyers wrote a list of questions and then leaked it? The NYT was using some very weaselly words the other day, it seems.

The word topics is hardly misleading. The article listing the questions makes clear they fall into “categories”, that they “were not quoted verbatim”, and others were “condensed”. Thus the conclusion: the wording of questions we are seeing here is not the wording that Mueller provided, but someone else’s wording, and…

A folksy way, lol! Perfect example.
