Tom Brady, bless him, is a golden retreiver of a human being. He’s good-looking, good at throwing balls, and has a brain the size of a chickpea.

I love it when tabloids run photos of celebrities ever-so-casually holding something like an Egg McMuffin in public, with the label carefully trend outwards. “Who me?” Christina Milan says. “I always eat my breakfast in a public bench. In no way will my trainer make me do 1000 squats later to pay for this endorsement…

Everyone who loves “Hamilton” should be sure to check out the Genius annotations on the lyrics, here:

Yes! I had no idea he could be funny.

Is “Safaree” a unique spelling of “Safari” or “Sapphire”? Other names that my inner pedant wants to auto-correct: “Tyga” and “Blac Chyna.”

Is that the road behind them, or an endless parade of bridesmaids?

Starbucks, what hath thou wrought.

Why does Ted Cruz always look like a Greek comedy/tragedy mask?

I had never heard of placenta accreta before and googled it. This may be the first time I’ve felt sorry for Kim Kardashian, because it sounds terrifying:

I met her at this year’s Boston Book Festival and she is AMAZING. She told a story during her keynote speech about how she joined a book-of-the-month club as a child, one that was supposed to send you a book that would “suit” you. The first book she received was about a man who suffered a terrible accident and had his…

Jeez, did my mom invent a time machine and write this letter? I'm still trying to figure out our relationship and boundaries, almost 20 years after I left for college.

I think Hillary’s problem isn’t so much that she doesn’t inspire Obama-levels of fervor among Democrats; it’s that she inspires Obama-levels of loathing among Republicans. This was my concern in the 2008 elections — sure, Obama was black, but there wasn’t (at the time) a group of dedicated political cranks insisting…

C’mon, guys — render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, remember?

I grew up among those types too! As an unaffiliated agnostic-type, which they found even more confusing yet somehow less threatening. I think it was because they thought I could still be saved, whereas my Catholic friend had already picked a (hell-bound) side. Whenever a new church opened up, the pastor always came by…

That’s what kills me about a certain type of Christian — when they use Jesus as a “Get out of jail free” card. Sometimes literally, as in “I’ve repented, surely the state/my victims should forgive me like God has forgiven me.”

Pretty sure they’re private, but I could be wrong. They can obviously fundraise for whatever cause they want, but I find it extremely telling that this — bond for a man caught on video shooting someone 16 times — is the cause they chose.

I checked one of the original article, and GoFundMe shut that account down — as they’ve done in the past for accounts set up for people accused of crimnal activity. So all of this money was raised through the Fraternal Order of Police offices, ugh.

I saw the trailer for “The Revenant” when I dragged my husband to see “The Martian” and thought it looked awesome. <— is a woman

Oh, so he just hates women. Gotcha.

My 15-month old currently loves “All the World.” I love the illustrations, not least because they casually feature a biracial family, a lesbian couple, a single mom, etc.
