We all love competence, but doing this whole yas kween thing with any politician is fucking horrifying. They’re public servants, they work for us, and the higher up they get the more likely they are to be working publicly against the will and best interest of most Americans. They’re not all soulless ghouls, but your…

Psaki does an excellent job. If one of the Black women floated for the job shut shit down the way she does, I wonder if members of the press corps would publicly “root” for her “warmth” or decide she is “abrasive” actually. 

And also, Public Service Announcement: if you think you’re having a heart attack or a serious asthma attack that might kill you, do not wake up your spouse and ask them to drive you to the hospital. CALL 911. The EMTs have the equipment to save your life if it comes to that, and your spouse does not, and especially…

I know everyone loves him because of Princess Bride and Clueless, but Wallace Shawn has always seemed creepy to me. I believe Lauren Lane.

The whole “It was just over the clothes! And a couple incidents under the clothes but what’s the big deal?” made me ill. And of course at the same time the girls are being told that somehow they led their own brother “into sin” by existing and being female.

As parents, what you did was show your daughters that some abuse is okay and the abuser’s feelings and life journey and the harmony of the family unit are more important than you and your trauma. A little bit of abuse being okay basically preps them for a lifetime of abuse. Because it’s always going to be “a little…

It depends on the instructor though? Some of them are yellers, some of them are super chill, and people gravitate towards the instructors whose style they prefer - that’s a big part of why the brand has succeeded.

I used to manage the children’s department at a bookstore in the 90s and we had American Girl parties during the non-winter months. They were our second most popular events after . . . pogs tournaments (when you’re a bookstore, anything that competes with books for kids attention, you bring it into the store).

This is personal and YES! Listen, as a lower middle class kid - receiving the catalog and knowing I’d never own one of these dolls no matter how hard I begged and cried was TORTUUUUURE. I’d pray one would “fall off” hot from a truck like a lot of crap we couldn’t afford but had did... but nope never happened.

Hello! And, congratulations!

In a crazy, selfish world, you excelled by giving us pieces of yourself. Thank you.

It wasn’t that hard to get in, it was daylight, and they knew Rudy would be in his coffin. 

If he’s not into faculty lounge jargon, why is he dressed like a junior in college?

Slow down there, buddy. That's real linguine on Rand's head.

The only thing Rand Paul is “real” about is being a real piece of shit.

This is infuriating. Can you imagine if the nominee were Jewish and Paul began interrogating him/her/them about circumcision solely due to their religion and not record or history or statements?

I can’t advocate murder, but I can advocate a good ol’ fashioned, Batman-styled justice beating for being an absolute, unrelenting prick.

This book sounds exhausting.
