They continue to take our forgiving as a sign of weakness. I really do some serious soul searching when it comes to things like this because there are no right answers just complicated ones. I’m glad the family has found some type of peace but I am real tired of being asked to turn the other cheek when the other side

One of the more frustrating features of this debate is the confluence of immigration with border security. The two items are certainly linked, but they are also two very different topics. The current treatment of immigrants and migrants is horrendous, but that is an issue of immigration law. Our immigration system is,

So glad I’m not a parent. I don’t think I’d have the patience for all this handwringing over formula. The idea that supplementing a kid’s diet with formula every now and then is cause for great upset is bafflingly ridiculous. Unless the baby is allergic to soy or someone other ingredient or if you live in an area

Problem with the vouchers is that landlords don’t take them anymore. Anti-section 8 discrimination is strong, especially in rapidly-gentrifying NYC.

I like spice, but I do find there is a level where something being too spicy just washes out everything. you can’t focus on other flavors because you’re too busy being overwhelmed by spice. If its making me break out in a light sweat, but otherwise I can still taste individual components of the dish, that’s the sweet

A lawyer friend pointed something out to me last night while we were talking about this: if people in prison can’t vote, how can we as a society expect prison reform that works to actually reform and improve people and lower recidivism and save people money when we have a system where incarcerated people are locked in

Being at Coachella at all is like having 10,000 lemons thrown at your face.

As an avid spice lover I run into the same thing at Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, Szechuan, etc places. Without fail anytime I order stuff Thai Hot, extra spicy etc. I get the “are you sure?” “you can’t send it back if it’s too spicy” and all of the usual cliche responses. Without fail what I get will require additional

I was thinking donut, myself.

If this is how it’s going to go, replacing housing space 1:1 with larger buildings to hold the market rate units, NYCHA had better keep a close fucking eye on the companies running them. I do not trust private companies with any manner of monopoly, and the threat of losing your home when you can’t afford to pack up

For anyone wondering how a publisher bought this pile of dreck: it’s self-published. Because no published would touch this pile of dreck.

Yup.

He’s clearly a complete nutbar, but his palpable seething misery makes me happy.

Being a white boy who loves curry, capsaicin, chili peppers in all their beautiful shapes and sizes, it’s not at all uncommon for me to order the spiciest thing on the menu and get an “are you sure?” or “this is very spicy, have you ordered it before?” but I don’t think I’ve ever encountered them deliberately lowering

“The teacher at the beginning told us there was no such thing as politically correct and we could say anything we wanted, then anytime I speak up, I get fustigated for being sexist”

So a vanity press then.  Because no one edited this.

“launching pad for right-of-center counterculture.”

I am 300% certain that Tony was named Tyrone in the first draft.

#10 Should be #1 so the rest will follow.

When 127 Hours came out, someone asked me in a crowded elevator if I’d seen it. I said “I want to, but it sounds too long...” and someone behind me audibly groaned. I still well up with pride when I think about it.
