A few years ago I had dinner with a guy I dated in high school and hadn’t seen in forever. Somehow, I have no idea how, food stamps came up in conversation. His contention was that people on food stamps spend them on steak and lobster — he’s seen it with his own eyes!

Thank you for that public service announcement.

While this isolated situation is still under investigation...

Hey. Don’t talk that way about Old Spice.

First, I applaud both your dedication and your civic-mindedness in supplying those photos.

Yeah, my niece said the veil was too sheer — but you’re right, it’s not the sheerness of the veil it’s the thickness of the dress.

I couldn’t agree with you more but I’d like to add: teach consent to girls, too. My friend’s 10 year old daughter *still* hasn’t learned how to take no for an answer. I keep trying to explain to her the difference between arguing your case, negotiating a compromise, and just plain pressure anti-consent drama.…

She just meant that they say her name with a British accent. And since only the Brits say “telly” it made her think of that word.

This is why I canceled my NYT subscription. They pretend to believe that journalism is giving noxious, unreasoned opinions a largely uncritical platform.

It seems myopic to completely shun those potential influences.

Madras print shirt, khakis, and stroller: the new hoodie.

How do people conjure this up at will?

No. I just imagine myself selling stories to the press and unwittingly making a fool of myself only to realize, decades later, that I’ve wasted my life.

What is the deal with charcoal? Why isn’t it allowed? It sounded like there was something about children stepping on hot charcoal but that went by so fast I’m not sure I heard it right. Is that the only reason it’s not allowed? And why not in that part of the park? I just don’t get this rule.

Okay, you seem to know what you’re talking about. The ads say that they’re covering the wedding “live.” Does that mean that if we want to watch it at 2 pm Saturday we have to record it? Or do they just play it on an endless loop until America is satiated?

The actual story: Her dad had a heart attack last week and they’re not sure he’s well enough to travel.

“Men are dogs”? As sick as your dystopian castration fantasy is, that’s separate.

Right? It’s a fucking *elected* official! A recall reverses our *own* decision, not anybody else’s.

And we have the independence to vote. I mean, it’s an elected office so it’s not like we have to stifle ourselves here. It’s democracy, not mob rule.

Lil Tay is no Lil Sebastian.
