As a YA librarian, I have to say that very few YA novels are anything like this (in terms of the writing quality, at least).

Many people don’t even know the term “placebo effect” but it’s really powerful. All I wanna know is:

Pauls hair looks like a make up brush.

Maybe I’m just the dummy here, but I took it as her making fun of the inactive people who think they can ignore the problem?

I love the picture of the activists on the base with “Black Lives Matter” spray painted on it.

I guess they could be melted down into dumpsters.

This is how they should all be removed...with as little fanfare as possible. Make the decision, take them down, and don’t give Nazi and Confederate fanboys time to make sad eyes over their lost heroes - or use them as an excuse to spread death and destruction.

In a not-shocking-at-all development, lastnight Memphis decided to protect its Nathan Bedford Forrest statue with 22 police cars, 7 unmarked cars, 4 tactical unit black SUVs, 1 tactical truck and also sky cams.

“These people were terrorists. They were traitors. Why are we honoring them?”

I personally think they should be melted down into urinals, but I’m willing to entertain other options.

I hope Pizza Rat sneaks in the penthouse and drops a pepperoni turd on his face while he sleeps.

Arpaio also stalked and threatened my former law professor, who was hired by the state of Arizona to investigate him for ethical violations. You know you’re a bad dude when you attempt to harm an administrative law professor (aka a boring dude)

• FCC Commissioner Ajit V. Pai is helping conservative behemoth Sinclair Broadcasting develop an “unparalleled national platform.” [New York Times]

Truly bad person.

I’m starting to get the feeling that maybe his statement this afternoon wasn’t exactly heartfelt, but maybe a cry for attention and approval. Maybe I’m wrong...

Maxine is 78. She has zero fucks left to give and she is not putting up with this shit.

IMO, Tamra was doing tough love right. If you’re going to constantly complain about wanting to lose weight, it makes sense for a friend to suggest eating healthier (albeit FAR less enjoyable) foods and cutting out alcohol.

Jack: [referring to Jenna’s weight gain] She needs to lose 30 pounds or gain 60. Anything in between has no place in television.

Wait till you get to SCARY ISLAND in season 3. Peak RHONY.

Lol. Remember when Ramona bailed on heather’s weekend in the berkshires because she was having “flashbacks”? And when she threw a wine glass at kristen’s face that same weekend?
