Cosby had the cover of his carefully constructed “Bill Cosby” fictional character that everyone thought was his real self. What does Trump have a his public, semi-fictional character? A chauvinist, cruel, entitled asshole.

I’m feeling bad for Melania. I imagine her reading this and thinking “I remember this interview— I remember running into her on the street that day. I remember how weird she was acting and wondering why.”

I highly recommend eBags backpacks from eBags.com. They’re full of hidden pockets and pouches so you always have one more place to organize little things, and the orange lining means you can actually see what you are looking for. I have the Downloader style to carry my MacBook and other work stuff.

You’re right. I looked it up on SCOTUSblog (emphasis mine):

Me too. I went on birth control pills late (in my mid 40s) because my periods were long, erratic and painful, and I was developing fibroid masses. When my doc said I could skip the sugar pills if I wanted I was like, sweet! But I ended up feeling miserable and spotting all month.* Finally I was like fine, my uterus…

No kidding! I'm 46, and she looks older than my mom.

I wish I could find the Abbie Hoffman quote in which he encouraged those denied use of toilets in public buildings to “Shit on the floor!”

So Breitbart’s guy Joel Pollak thinks that Terris mistook a Secret Service agent for Lewandowski because they both have cropped hair, even though the two men look nothing alike, and even though this video shows Terris looking directly toward Lewandowski before Fields is yanked back and speaking with him immediately…

In my neighborhood in Portland, it would be difficult to set up anywhere that is NOT in front of a marijuana shop.

I’ve been attracted to the idea of getting a Steam Machine. I’m a Mac user for life and work, and I’d like to be able to play PC games on a console. I understand that a Steam Machine isn’t as powerful as a fully-loaded PC, but I don’t want to plonk down the cash for a good gaming PC and I don’t have the time to learn…

I really like this cameo or whatever. Is that a magpie?

I don’t know of an urban area that doesn’t have a vibrant art scene hidden in it somewhere, and I don’t know of any of those vibrant scenes that aren’t sniffed at by their more conventional neighbors. Portland wears its vibrancy on its surface, and is a national joke for it, along with Williamsburg. I'm from…

I’m sorry you found it obnoxious. I sincerely don’t understand why good, handcrafted stuff is sneered at, which is what I read when I see people complaining about hipsters.

Whenever I see people criticize Portland for having hipsters and artisans and craft beer and mustaches or whatever, I shake my head, because a city without hipsters is a shitty city where hipsters don’t wanna live. Do y’all LIKE living next to a strip mall and drinking Budweiser and wearing Walmart’s best bespoke…

I wonder if there’s a German word for “the experience of joy upon discovering that a condition once thought unique to oneself is in fact so common there’s a word for it in German.”

I finally know the word for the feelings I suffer every day! Thank you!

And people of a certain age in the USA learned to use the word “Oriental” as the polite, inclusive alternative to calling everyone with certain facial characteristics “Chinese”. I still remember when “Afro-American” replaced “Negro”, and I ain’t that old. The current thinking is that “oriental” is a designation which…

I like to say “Happy Christmas” because I read a lot of British books as a kid and it got stuck. Will I get deported?

Well, hopefully, she was interviewed by a female social worker, not a male detective, but I don’t know how Houston LE handles sex crimes, so that may be a problem right there. Victims of sex crimes are often not reliable witnesses, as they are too busy being traumatized, and may make false statements while their…

It’s indicates one or a combination of three things:
