And conversely, they get mad at you if you go to swipe (like I’ve been doing for OH, 18 YEARS). Can’t win.

I had to use one of those chip readers today and the checkout lady straight-up got mad at me. Like she’s getting all exasperated, going “Use the pen to sign, use the pen!” and IT’S NOT ASKING FOR A SIGNATURE LADY WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT FROM ME

I thought The Host had an interesting premise and some cool ideas in it. But the execution was pretty lame and the pacing was atrocious.

Of course King is just saying out loud what republicans think. Of course they think this. Typically they just use dog whistles and inferences. King accidentally said exactly what he and all the others think.

My parents are fierce Republicans. Even they refuse to vote Trump and recognize his idiocy. That’s big. This will be the first time in forever neither of them is voting.

In a women’s studies class they showed us excerpts from a gynecological textbook written in the 70s. It said, among other horrifying things, that women need to experience pain to be truly feminine. Hopefully the books don’t say shit like that anymore.

That’s sort of the personification of what I think I hate most about his candidacy: it’s inspired people who were (I thought) better than this to feel free to express their basest, worst opinions. I would have been happy to see many of them hide that part of themselves away forever.
It sucks to hear that kind of thing…

“This is real. This is happening.” Text from my mom, 45 minutes ago.

I just wish CBS would allow his show to be on Hulu. I'm not staying up late to watch, a dictator has to get her sleep.

i don’t know. CBS has neutered him somewhat. i’ve watched some of the new stuff and i find myself a bit bored. Sam Bee and John Oliver I think may give us more of the winning feint.

Cops are public servants. This comparison you’re trying to make is dumb, race vs occupation.

We had a lot of guys like that in basic training in the army. It was either go to jail or straighten up and fly right in the military. For some, I think it made an improvement in their lives. Not for Track though.

They’re also expunging the weapons charge if he sticks to the terms. I’m pretty supportive of veteran’s courts, but this is a little ridiculous. And his mother doesn't know it, but her comments didn't vindicate her son and blame Obama. She said that Track doesn't feel like the world respects him, so he went home and…

So, no Track record.

I thought that it was a plea deal? And actually I have known of a couple of people (years ago) who agreed to go into the army after they got arrested.

There are so many legitimate criticisms you could have have directed against the Palins and yet you choose to insult the appearence of a disabled child. Next time take a minute to think about what you’re doing before hitting submit.

You can see her hair in the mirror. And the boy sits at the next table close to the opposite wall.

Get up with an alarm, make the bed, get dressed, sit in a designated working area. Lounging on the couch in jammies with the laptop is a no-no. You need to put yourself in a productive head space and create a clear demarcation between home and work when they occupy the same real estate.

Today is our anniversary. We danced our first (and only) dance to All the Way by Frank Sinatra. We both like music, but are not super into dancing. We just kind of swayed back and forth like we were at an eighth grade dance. At one point he murmured in my ear, “This is so gay,” and I was simultaneously amused and…

The most touching things about my wedding were that 1) my grandfather, who was a Methodist minister, offciated the ceremony, even though it wasn’t a religious wedding per se - I just wanted him to do it because I loved to hear him talk (dude had a gift for public speaking). 2) my sister was recovering from an…
