If someone is really concerned about home security, get a dog. People who break into homes avoid homes with dogs and they won’t get turned on you should someone break in.

You know, I’ve been beaten into submission with this family. They’re problematic and totally miss the point. But I don’t hate them. I don’t buy their products but I do occasionally watch an episode when there’s nothing else on. I don’t find myself overly attaching to any of them. But I do read the goss. I just

CALIFORNIAAAAAA!

There can only ever be two. Time for a Dooku-stab.

They hate the Post Office because it works. They don’t want people to have freedom and stability, and programs that give that power to people, like a well-functioning delivery service that can send a letter to anyone in the country try for pennies, empower people. They hate any government program that improves the

As far as coming at California goes......

An unrelated note regarding the USPS: I don’t fully understand why Republicans love to bash the USPS, I guess because they all fancy themselves CEO’s in training. I’m not saying the USPS is perfect, I’m sure there are things they could improve on. But I think it’s unfair to compare them to FedEx and UPS. USPS has

It sure does sound like Trump invited Putin to the White House for a playdate!

Fuck this racist, misogynistic dude. You don’t get to call for the murder of women because they exercise their legal choice of abortion just to be edgy. Stating your opinions has consequences, the most important of which for a writer should be denial of a platform. Shame on the Atlantic...

To my point, Michelle Obama sported blue eyeshadow back in 2010 at a state dinner no less. For some reason I can’t post the image/link, but there you have it.

And by “back,” do you mean “back” for white women? Because many women of color have been stylishly sporting these hues - yes, even cerulean - for years.

This was my favorite moment of the day. What a brilliant kid.

I knew Michael Che back in 2008 / 2009. He was a fledgling comedian in NYC and attended many of the same open mics I was attending. His sets were unmemorable with lazy jokes about girls and race, but he was quite popular with the mostly dude regulars and I guess well connected. I left NYC in 2010 and moved to LA. When

There is only one woman I’ve worked with in my entire career (and I’m in my forties) who didn’t ever seem to feel a Mom Penalty. She worked nonstop, answered e-mails at all hours, and rocketed through promotions. I couldn’t understanding how she was doing it. Eventually I found our that her two kids were in a boarding

My father taught high school for 35 years and always kept a picture of Mr. Rogers on his desk to remind him that a 16 year old acting like an asshole probably just wants someone to listen to them and tell them they matter. Another teacher wrote Mr. Rogers to tell him about my dad and Mr. Rogers wrote him a really nice

You’re an ass. I hope you end up having to be a caretaker for a family member one day and are penalized at work for it, just so you can - maybe - learn to be less of an ass. Although, it sounds like you have the Republican attitude of not giving a shit about anyone but yourself, and when something personally impacts

What’s even worse is that for many people, especially people in places with high costs of living, that 40-45 is easily 50-55!
