Oh my GOD that’s what she needs to do to beat Trump. Like, literally, when she debates him, she needs to say, “So what if I’m a bitch. At least I’m not an idiot, and I’m wearing less makeup than this ass clown over here.” SHE WILL WIN BY A LANDSLIDE.

tl;dr: NASCAR still sucks, just like always.

I’m happy about this, but that pic of the toilet seat threw me. I read it twice and thought it said, “Hold The Maccou Table.”

Sexual predation is standard behavior at all universities. This fact sickens the 95% of us profs who don’t do it and would never do it or be tempted to. If you’re doing your job right, students are unattractive to you. Always.

“Many good writers aren’t good proofreaders.”

Junebug. That movie. So good. I’m an NC native, and it captures us so fucking well, it’s scary.

Of course Bowie is very much in the wrong here. I do think there are mitigating factors here, however:

I cannot imagine the pain of losing literally the coolest dad in the world at 15 years old. Of course he took care of his daughter and the people he cared about. Of course he did. What a beautiful man.

His son is 44 and already has a career.

If you were a queer writer, or a woman of color writer, would you want someone to read you because they thought they were doing something dutiful about power structures?

Nikki Haley is really unpopular in SC. With everyone. She’s crazy. She comes from a really, really privileged background, so she has no idea what she’s talking about when it comes to wealth inequity, education access, racism, or anything else that affects the vast majority of people in the South. Thus, Democrats hate…

Oh, I know you didn’t say he’s a shitty writer. I said that. Just a mix-up with modifiers there, I think.

So, here’s what your more nuanced explanation tells me:
A person whose job requires him to analyze pop culture did not do any research before passing judgment on a film/actress he knew nothing about. Said reaction was sexist and assholish. After realizing he was wrong, his back-handed apology only amplified his…

It’s true they can get gloopy, but I find that’s more common with the medium point. The fine points are generally gloop-less, especially in the nonstandard colors, so I specified fine point for that reason. Also, I’m not down with click pens. They’re sometimes messy and always feel stubby/inadequate to me.

Pilot pens are smudgy sacks of inky horseshit. Replace it on this ballot with the elegant, reliable, affordable Pentel RSVP immediately. I’m a writer, and I grade about 700 papers a month. I know from pens.

Before anyone tries to tell me this is “generational” and to forgive the Dalai Lama being an old dude:

There was a nice story this morning on NPR about a gay couple being Boy Scout leaders in ultra-conservative Utah. They went fishing, everyone was fine, the end. Also, the Waking Life coffee thing in Asheville NC might seem super icky, but the two icky men in question have been actively shunned by every other guy in…

I don’t accept the apology because a) the qualifiers like “seems” and “sometimes” are red flags that their mea culpa is totally insincere; and b) I live in Asheville, and I know these guys. Trust me, these guys are NOT sorry. They’re only sorry they’re losing money.
