I got some of these when I moved to Seattle (needed waterproof comfortable shoes that I could sort of hide as quasi-businessy under pants) and they are GREAT for walking and travel. I have both the boots and the sneakers.

But they came back! (So it doesn’t count, imho.)

But how can they pretend they’re doing more than hosting photographs in an interface many students could write in a weekend, if they don’t do all kinds of faaaancy extra stuff? How will they prove they’re worth four bazillion dollars?

Yeah, but not at Yale. The secret of these schools is that once you get in, it seems like no crime or academic failure is enough to put you back out. Either Yale got really scared by the Title IX investigation (which might be over anyway?) or this looked really really bad to them. Signed, a shocked alum.

HIRE millennials to write jokes? Come now, it’s easier to rip off other people’s jokes on Twitter.

I agree with this (and was taught to shop this way by my mother)... but where are we supposed to find these quality clothes? A lot of the brands I used to consider higher quality no longer are. JCrew is a hot mess. I recently needed to buy suits for a new job and bought some pieces from Brooks Brothers... but only on…

I also send a picture of my cat. It’s reached the point where, when I send an email to a few people to get updated addresses, they reply and say “Oooh, am I going to get a new picture of [kitty]?” I guess I know who in my household is actually popular.

Thank you! I donated my old “sleeping bag” style puffer coat to the NY Cares Coat drive when I left the East Coast, but now I’m back and was desperately looking for an affordable replacement for those few days a year when it’s that cold.

I’ve read the book (in German) and it’s not that kind of comedy. Think of the full-body cringe you get from the British version of The Office, not something ha-ha funny. The plot is that Hitler awakens in the present day and goes around trying to regain popularity; he’s still Hitler, but everyone else thinks he’s some…

Why can’t the youngest daughter play with her nieces and nephews?

Between the trivializing headline and the uninformed comment about base tans, this article is pretty darn stupid. Do you even know what point you were trying to make?

Doesn’t it suck when being called a racist shuts down legitimate and thoughtful discussion of your racist ideas? That’s the worst.

Awww, this is my old neighborhood. This place wasn’t my top choice based on gourmet-ness but they are good eggs and I’m glad they’re still doing their thing!

Nightmare baby is better at applying eyeliner than me, I’ll give him that.

Also opera fan; agree on this. Also, I think people who don’t go to the opera/ballet/orchestra a lot tend to not understand the nuances of when audiences are silent versus loud. For example, don’t clap between movements at the symphony, but go ahead a clap while the ballerina is doing something cool, as long as you…

Ellie’s post artfully expresses my feelings about disgusting, low-fat yogurts (which are often fatally sweet too) but full-fat yogurt is a different ballgame. The new full-fat Siggi’s in the flat container! Now that is a snack I’ll eat voluntarily.

Minor point, but whyyy do they keep referring to him by his surname and her as “Emma”—it seems so reflexively disrespectful, I bet it wasn’t even on purpose.

Oh, I’m so glad someone already said this as I was rushing to do it, and am in the greys. I’d like to add that both the paper and Charleston’s mayor seem to have done a great job of handling this with dignity and righteous anger, comparing to state and national government and media.

I’d like the quality to come back, but this is an acceptable compromise! I just needed to stock up on business clothes and got a suit, $175 jacket and $100 pants. Those were the right prices to start with.

If you find an old enough edition of “Our Bodies, Ourselves,” you’ll find that it does.
