I feel like that jeans quiz is some of my best work. Thank you for letting me saunter down memory lane.

There was an earlier moment in the Cruz/Yates exchange that really pissed me off and makes Yates’ response so much more delicious. Cruz asks Yates if she was familiar with 8 U.S.C. 1182 and she says “not at the top of my head, no.”

She utterly destroyed Ted Cruz, which was satisfying to watch. Evidently Harvard Law and Princeton can’t teach their students common sense.

She kicked Cruz’s ass when he tried to do the classic Republican deflect onto “But Hillary’s emails!” and schooled him on the Constitution. Then he slunk away in shame.

Later, the user posted: “I killed 15 today because of [the second woman].”

Oh, God that explains a boyfriend I had in high school! He had gone to a horse boarding school in California and I’ve always wondered where it was. He’s from that area so it had to be Thacher. I thought that was such a weird requirement.

If you’re like my brother and me and have a mentally ill parent, being even just 40 miles away during your teen years is a literal lifesaver.

Horace Mann is a private day school in Riverdale, in the Bronx, NY that used to be all-boys’; the decades of unchecked sexual abuse of students by teachers there came out a while back and got a lot of publicity here in New York. Nothing to do with any insurance company of the same name!

I would absolutely say that my education was incredible, and there were many, many amazing faculty members. It’s the main thing my school had going for it, and I’m truly grateful to the good ones.

What is Horace Mann? That’s my insurance company, and now you’ve got me worried...

My neighbor went to one of Choate’s rivals and he talked about the constant drug use - lots of heroin in particular, he said. People with access to money in small towns with not much to do is a recipe for that.

I did too, in New England, Choate was one of our rivals. In my day Choate was famous for a massive cocaine scandal.

Right?? Same here. Also the opening paragraph of this story really nails it: “To think of an elite boarding school school experience is to immediately conjure the sound of orange leaves crunching beneath your new leather boots, the feeling of your pressed navy blazer hanging gently over your shoulders, raw from…

This kind of thing happened all the time at private schools that weren’t boarding schools, too — think of Horace Mann.

Went to boarding school, and sadly none of this crap (that it happened, that it went unreported) surprises me :(

Wonder if Choate alumna Ivanka Trump will make a statement about this horrifying news.

The empathy and grace and forgiveness shown by the victims’ families is remarkable especially in the face of so much senseless loss. Roof’s grandfather not understanding how an entrenched culture of whiteness and supremacy and lack of empathy led to this tragedy is a problem. How do you not understand what the…

The death penalty is pointless Judicial theater and I’m ashamed that our country still uses it.

I laughed at “becoming a laughing stock.” Becoming?

“The world sees her as this glamorous, sophisticated, jet-setting woman,
