Strangely, I wanted the intaglio set when I first saw the photo, because I thought they were pressed powders.

Any public or private entity that can feign self-policing will do so. They will uphold the laws that benefit them, and skirt every single other obstruction that could in any way make them look bad.

I mean, to be fair, it’s not like he killed a teammate, and then the coach trying to explain it away as the dead kid was a drug dealer (which he was not) because the dead kid was not really on scholarship but having his tuition paid by the team under the table.

Check that, nope this is pretty damn bad and effed up too.

Isn’t the more apt conclusion - “any institution that is left to self-police itself, won’t?”

I had a bunch of people from our church invite me and my mother to a prayer meeting for Ronald Reagan after he’d been shot. The group included our pastor and his wife (who were also our optometrist and my teacher at school (I was really young)), our family physician and his wife, and the associate pastor and her…

It’s enough for one stoner to get high enough to order a pizza and giant cookie from Papa John’s, but not high enough to eat all of it him/herself.

Pretty much. Less than I would expect to find ground into the rug under my desk.

And that lawsuit will cost the taxpayers money, not the police. I’m not saying she shouldn’t sue, I’m saying the proceeds from the suit should come from the police retirement funds. When the “few” bad cops start costing the “good” cops money, then maybe the good cops will do something about their “brothers” behavior.

It’s called GOOGLE CALENDAR BITCH (well, for the appointment keeping-track-of). It’s kind of ridiculous how we become de facto secretaries for our husbands.

Shocker - a mom who makes lists, does Internet research, befriends and observes other mothers, and then applies what she’s learned on a daily basis is generally seen as a good mother. Just like you learn and excel at any other job.

he simply wants to thank his wife for being a good mother

For everyone who’s replying “it’s Rita Ora” :

Who is this? She looks vaguely familiar.

When I tried to open a checking account at Bank of America after our move to San Francisco, they told me I would have to pay a fee every time my account would fall under $1000. I was an administrative assistant at the time, so what I made monthly came to about $1800. The likelihood that my account would fall under…

Eh, I guess you learn. I’m pretty untrusting of everyone anyway :). I think it solidified my ability to, as Liz Phair sang back when she was awesome, fuck and run. I do regret telling my Mother about my rape when I was 14...she was a brilliant, strong, feminist woman and I think telling her 20 years later fried her…

A security guard would have approached the kids and asked where their parent was, the 6 year old would have pointed out her mom, mom would have waved or excused herself from the interview and headed over to the kids, security guard would talk to mom about it and no one would have been arrested.

Uniqlo couldn’t have come up with a better marketing plan if they tried.

Since we make forms from electronic files, it doesn’t even require white out. Just edit the file, hit save, et voila! Your form now says Parent 1 and Parent 2. Government of Arkansas, my consulting fee is $10M per hour, so your bill is $41,666.67 for the 15 seconds of work. Thank you. I take cash or check.

It wasn’t just the cornrows, either. Everything in that photo was Black mimicry. Even her little ‘ebonics’ use of ‘dis’ in place of ’this’.

Let’s say we’re both walking down the street. I am a haphazard, reckless sort of person so I accidentally stomp on your foot while I’m walking. Maybe I break a toe or two. Does your foot hurt? Does the knowledge that I didn’t intend to step on your foot unbreak your toes? I was being careless, but I sincerely didn’t…
