Felicity spent about $15k but Lori was in for $500k! It’s bizarre that Lori used a “side door” to get her kids into USC when she could have afforded to do it legally and wouldn’t be facing jail time. 

Arguably this money may be used for scholarships or other programs that benefit all students, but yes I do agree with you. 

The guy who was arranging everything for the parents participating in the admissions scandal referred to it as being the “side door” way to get into college. The front door was for a student to earn it themself and the back door was to donate a shit ton of money to the school. The side door was to use a lot of money…

Half the dogs at my dog park are poodle crosses and everyone always refers to purchasing their clearly intentionally-bred dog as “adopting” it. It’s like they understand the social stigma of buying a dog but instead of doing anything different, they co-opted the concept of adoption to mean any form of dog acquisition.…

I think that breeders who are crossing purebreds just dump the ones who come out looking different at rescue orgs. Back when puggles were all the rage, I used to see a lot on petfinder who looked more pug than beagle, or were missing the fawn colored coat. After a few generations they are more standardized. 

but then who will do their laundry and keep the house stocked with groceries and handle all of the emotional labor?

to clarify, OP is referring to his jealousy at the career of his colleague Lauren Lapkus, who is not his wife. 

Latest Massachusetts polls indicate Biden leading in Massachusetts, so don’t take anything for granted! Elizabeth’s senate opponent last year ran TV ads about how people shouldn’t vote for her because she was just going to run for President and not be an attentive Senator. There may be some residual resentment about…

It’s my understanding that Elizabeth is #1 with white and latinx voters and one poll shows her as #2 with black voters (after Biden) and another shows her in #3, just one point behind Bernie.

I’m not a Sanders supporter but I think that’s not an entirely accurate assessment! I’ve met hundreds of lovely Sanders supporters (I volunteer on a different campaign) in real life. It’s the absolute dorks on twitter who ruin it for everyone else by engaging in bad faith arguments (shitting on Warren for doing things…

There’s a second LGBTQ forum on October 10th that he also will not be attending. I am not really understanding much of his campaign’s strategy this time around. 

the film is excellent. And heart breaking. 

Trump says that Bibi represents American Jews! He says it all the time. He used to imply dual loyalty (which was troubling enough) but now he’s switched to implying that we are loyal to Israel/Bibi over America which is quite scary.

I feel good with a transition into being a celebrity judge on a tv series. I bet she can ride that for the next decade. 

Yes, I agree. But I think that it’s not crazy to want a board that isn’t constantly mired in distracting accusations of anti-semitism. It’s overshadowed a lot of what the previous board was trying to do (esp in the media). 

I know she’s already number one, but Elizabeth Warren was one of only two candidates who had a booth at the Congressional Black Caucus convention staffed by her campaign. 

They seem to love attention and grifting enough to move to a red state to make a run for statewide office since NY would never elect one of those clowns in a million years. We only like democrat nepotism. 

The book was boring as hell. As someone who actually lost their mom as a child, it’s my least favorite of all literary (or movie) tropes. It’s also a lot less common than you’d think based on how much creators love to use a dead mom as character motivation.

I think he would do it. But now he does it all the time at his white supremacy rallies and the media doesn’t even cover it. 

I cannot believe that in 2019 (!) MTV is still giving out the “Michael Jackson” video vanguard award. They should have renamed it for Missy Elliott when they gave it to her.
