Campaign events are work for politicians.

I agree. It’s absurd that people are talking about holding men an impossible standard when the standard we are asking for is “don’t smell women’s hair at a professional event.” Of course we can find men who can meet that standard, and if we can’t, guess what? We might just have to vote for women.

I love a pear in late fall, when it gives a little when you push on it, and you have to eat it over the sink. Otherwise, meh. There are so many fruits that are really only good in their season.

Apples are my absolute favorite fruit, but even though they are available year round, they are really only good in autumn, and locally grown. Those mealy stored-forever waxed fruits in the supermarket give apples a bad rep.

Please don’t give people that advice. Although most places in the US have laws about habitability, how tenants can use those laws and what kind of protection they give for withholding rent and defenses against eviction varies from state to state and in some places from county to county. Withholding rent could get you…

I’m glad you posted this because when I saw the pictures in the article I was like uhhhhhhh...did I forget what's a Rachel was because these do not seem like it? They are just women with shoulder-length hair. That is not a Rachel.

I’m hung up on the fact that so many fucking people in this story lied to you about this imaginary person. Like, why would your family members and church members say those things to you if they were completely untrue?

I agree the groper definitely knew who Grande was. He was negging her. He was putting her down, saying she wasn’t worth a thing, he didn’t even know who she was, at the same time he was groping her. It was so gross on so many levels.

So, this one woman wouldn’t let him control her body, and he’s taking it out on every young, vulnerable immigrant he can get his bureaucratic claws into?

I think letting people know the reason is so important. For instance, I know my mother is leaving my brother more of her estate because she gave me about $10k for law school and she wants my brother to get that much more when she passes. She spent it on me in life and she wants to make even with her estate. It makes…

If you want the press to follow you, you have get some racist Pennsylvanians from a diner. Just bring the whole diner with you so reporters can go in and interview them. Reporters can not resist a racist Pennsylvanian in a diner.

We used to eat Hydrox because Oreos had lard, or at least my parents told us that. We are not kosher and there was nothing to keep us from eating lard, except I think my mother thought it was unhealthful.

Even if it’s no one particular person’s fault, this case just feels like it’s going to be contentious and bitter. Especially if she’s an attorney who has lots of wealthy clients paying you high fees, I can see why Wasser would decide that whatever the fees, it’s not worth it. This sort of case is the reason I stopped…

Legal aid lawyer here, and ditto. Investing in public schools, expanding SNAP, single payer healthcare, raising the income limit for social security contributions, more section 8. Vouchers: we have systems in place that, if we just USED them, could eliminate the kind of poverty that I see in my office every day.

My cat a dumb jock. He’s super strong and atmhletic and good at climbing and jumping and whatnot, but otherwise he is not that bright.

I mean, she specifically addresses useful tools and tells you to keep them and, since they are useful, to try to appreciate what they do for you more in the future.

Thank you! If we decide to give our people healthcare entirely paid for by taxes, we are coming together as a nation for our collective public welfare. That’s so much more thoughtful and inspiring than having to bag for cash from friends and strangers to keep your child alive.

I don’t get the logic of people upset because they have to pay taxes for social services and “oh it costs so much money.” Like this lady with schools, or that asshole complaining about libraries.

Dammit, you got me. I was a gullible elementary schooler.

I thought it was a white supremacist plan to separate children from their parents, culture, language, and so forth because it will “be better for them,” like European Christians have done to so many indigenous folks in the US and around the world. Bethany Christian Services has gotten their claws into these kids.
