I was stunned when Frankel implied that women should have sex with men in exchange for capital. I was offended when she expressed some kind of kinship with black women because she’s “loud.” And I was taken aback when she advised those of us in the room to get business advice to hire a white man as the face of our…

People tell me I’m crazy, but I think JLD is one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen. Post-Seinfeld JLD.

you forgot “ Old Christine” That show was pretty good too.

I really like Julia. She has hit icon comedian status on at least two different tv shows. Her timing is wonderful, and she just seems cool.

I work at home and I get constant shit - two years in - for BabyStu going to daycare. “But you’re already at home, can’t you just work around playing with him? Why would you let someone else raise him so you can lounge around all day?”

Some of it is labor. You’re paying for something like an eighth or a tenth of a human being’s full time wages even in a big daycare class. That adds up even if the daycare teacher isn’t being paid terribly well.

If it’s anything like similarly priced daycares in the state I’m most familiar with, it includes a proper number of (badly-paid) daycare teachers for the number of children in each age group, specific educational toys, access to outdoor space (which can be very expensive in urban areas), licensing fees, and so on.…

I liked that old star system because people could lose it by taking trolls out of the greys. Disenvowling was good too. Pretty much anything over what is here now.

Cox locked herself out of her car and walked to a nearby gas station to phone her boyfriend to bring her a spare; the police wouldn’t allow her to make a long-distance call from the station.

Okay I’m just going to vent here:

Wow. My son’s middle name is a surname that you’d never ever want to call a kid by because it was his dad’s and granddad’s and great-granddad’s middle name, and his great-great-grandmother’s maiden name. My brother’s is also a surname for similar reasons. Using a family name/conglomeration of family names in the…

Pick up a copy of Us Weekly and compare it to a copy from 1995. The stories would be remarkably similar, obsessing over weight gain and hair cuts, stolen private pictures being considered “exclusives”, etc etc. The difference is now that’s a job and most of the people featured courted it specifically to monetize…

I was in law school during the OJ trial, and I was planning to be a prosecutor. I think that made my mom especially sensitive and sympathetic to Marcia Clark and everything that came down on her in such a personal way during the trial. So when the trial was over, my mom sent her a letter saying, basically, good try,…

It does bear some investigation because it’s definitely out of the box thinking for a trio of 6 year olds. Their plotting thought process usually runs to shoving someone off the swing at recess.

lunchtime seaweed???

I think the cold meds are kicking in because I have no idea what I just read. This is about a guy who just ruined his writing career by calling out some big names and emailing everyone his complaints? Is that it?

Also there is no such thing as early April Fools’; you get April 1 and that is it.

Harper Lee? Totally low energy. Complete loser. When was the last time she wrote a book? Have you seen the books I wrote. They have the best words in them. Not like her words. Did you hear that Atticus is racist? The blacks love me. Buy Trump Steaks.

And likely do a fair share of the unpaid work of parenting: tuck her in at night, attend school functions, know who her friends are. If you took finances out of this I’d say the same thing: let the guy adopt the child he’s raising.
