So what you are saying is they Don’t Speak?

I liked this piece, but I found myself wishing she had, even cheekily, detailed some of her husband’s bad points. As she herself notes, she makes him sound like a “prince” and way too perfect to be a real person. You have to name at least a couple of assholeish or annoying qualities (we all have them) in order to…

I did the math last year, and I’m pretty sure Rob Lowe is the same age Martin Sheen was in WW season 1 (or very close). Since they kept talking about how Sam was going to be president someday, it would be kind of cool to have him be the President, for a whole cast of younger staffers.

...aaaaanndd I won’t be seeing that.

I love the little Russian pin on Trump’s lapel. It’s the little touches that make these sketches great.

If I told you how many points I have right now you would be appalled. I am appalled.

Right!? I’ve gotten something like a half-dozen texts from friends wondering what I’m doing tonight. I text back “Book, Wine, Fire.” I opted out of New Years rigamarole something like seven years ago. Haven’t missed it. In fact, I now look forward to the quiet night in rather than the hassle of getting dressed up,…

Happy New Year everyone! It’s an hour to midnight here and I am sat in my pyjamas eating Pringles and drinking a bottle of wine that my neighbour didn’t want. I’m just pleased to still be awake, since last year I fell asleep watching Jurassic Park at 9PM. I hope you all have a happy, healthy, wonderful year and thank…

I’m sorry to hear about you diagnosis. I don’t live in Oz, so I don’t know what advice I can offer in terms of where to get help.

I prefer to think of my romantic life as a Schrodinger’s Cat situation. So long as I stay in my house I can pretend that I am simultaneously someone everyone wants and someone absolutely no one is interested in.

I just read this headline to my husband, and found out that he donated to PP a few weeks ago. Neither of us have ever been to America, and he didn’t tell me at the time because he didn’t think it was a big thing. I am so impressed.

I have to completely support the notion that you had about the two things that you did to find love — which had nothing to do with actually seeking it out: 1. being comfortable with yourself no matter what your relationship circumstance and in particular with being single/alone; and 2. doing things that you enjoy and…

I want to learn to make bread. I fucking love bread and want to learn to make it when ever I have a craving for a fresh warm crusty loaf.

It’s just that society makes those of us who are alone (whether by choice or out of necessity) feel like losers/weirdos - especially during the holidays. Sigh.

I’m totally there with you. I’ll be 59 next month. I tried OKC, and one person ghosted on me when I said I ONLY rented, don’t own. It almost seems guys want to know your credit score before making any kind of move.

I see your boxing, Aly Raisman and Nastia Liukin, and I raise you sitting on the couch, having just eaten two cupcakes at 430pm.

Come to Philadelphia; it’s not always sunny here, but I have a pretty cat.

When you are a one-issue person, being against that one issue makes anyone a “piece of shit” even if they led a wholly altruistic life in every other way.

Eli Wiesel lived long and prospered, dedicating his life’s work to sharing the truth about what he had seen. And thus he won the ultimate victory over the murderers of his family, as well as over the deniers who claimed that the millions who were murdered at the camps never even existed.

“I never intended to to be a philosopher, or a theologian,” he wrote. “The only role I sought was that of witness.”
