A lot of people, unfortunately. A study from Pew Research Center done earlier this year found that four in ten Americans get their news primarily from Facebook. And I think there’s obviously a real lack of media literacy online, even just thinking of my older relatives who sometimes can’t tell what’s Buzzfeed and…

Sharing, people share poorly researched stuff all the time. People share things from dubious sources all the time. And there’s probably a multitude of other methods. I personally either ignore that kind of thing, and am also not exposed to it very often because of the type of people in my friends list. They aren’t the…

If you ever hear one spouse refer to another spouse as “pretty decent” partner, chances are good (as in 95% chance) that that is a very sanitized version of their actual opinion. I’m not saying that is the case here, but “pretty decent” isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement especially when it comes to law schools.

I can’t even imagine the amount of strength Monica Lewinsky must have had to be able to go through the media circus she went through as like a 22 year old and honestly not kill herself. Not trying to make light, but there is no way I would have been strong enough to withstand that kind of emotional whirlwind. Yes, she…

Ooooooooooooor, he could’ve recognized that he was in a position of power and kept his dick in his pants no matter if a pretty young intern was making goo-goo eyes at him?

Listening to the podcast Slow Burn about the Clinton scandal really brought home to me how far we’ve come since the 90's. I remember when it happened — I was in high school when it all unfolded, and didn’t really care one way or the other, but I remember the adult women around me making harsh comments about Lewinsky,…

I used to have a cycle that was regular, down to the hour. Now that I have an IUD (which is great in many ways), I can unpredictably spot and bleed during ovulation and my cycle still isn’t as regular as it used to be. I went from every 21 days to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If a spot on my underwear was my only risk then I might share your opinion. Unfortunately, my cycle tends to start heavy so if I didn’t have an app to alert me I might bleed through my clothes before I realized. 

He will continue to get away with this nonsense because a large portion of his base views California as the modern day Sodom and Gomorrah and believe it should all just go up in flames or fall into the Pacific. You can be sure he wouldn’t say something like this about a southern or midwestern state after a hurricane…

I think ‘Bride Discovers Future In-Laws are Nazis During Bridal Shower’ wins. And I use the term ‘wins’ very carefully in this instance only because in every other way that is NOT winning.

DETAILS OBSCURED FOR REASONS!

So twenty years ago, my cousin announces she’s getting married. Ok, cool. She’s having her bridal shower in a German social club somewhere in the mid west two days before the wedding. Ok, cool. I’m her maid of honor, but the groom’s mother has planned this, and I’m a broke college student,…

All of them. Because who has a bridal shower? The very concept of bridal showers is awful and I’ve never been to one that wasn’t a gaggle of basic-ness and because no one who is my close friend or a woman I identify with has ever thrown one, so the only ones I’ve been invited to have been friends I’m not that close…

The bridesmaid who planned the party didn’t know the difference between a shower and bachelorette party. I guess she thought it was weird that the bride had requested she invite so many older family members and work friends, but she must have never questioned it. I generally find penis toy and stripper bachelorette…

I haven’t been to any weird bridal showers per se, but the most recent shower I went to was organized by one of the bride’s roommates. Said roommate demanded everyone pay attention to her and did not stop talking about herself for 45 minutes. Topics included going on a rant about her recent break up as well as giving…

My SIL’s shower has hands down become a family legend. Brunch theme, hired an omelette man caterer to come and, as you guessed, make omelettes on demand to people’s orders. One of the grandmothers brought out her lovely crystal wine glasses to use for mimosas. Omelette man arrives with an assistant-it’s a young guy…

All of them? Even my own? Bridal showers are weird, where else do we expect grown women to unwrap common household items so other grown women can ooh and aah over shit they all have at home?

This person is an asshole. First of all, a reservation fell through? There are 100 million restaurants in this city just walk LITERALLY NEXT DOOR. Second of all, our transit system is garbage as is and while there doesn’t seem to be many people on the train in the blurry shot posted here, any kind of disruption to my…

My wife and I once boarded a 1 train in Chelsea to find some asshat laying across like five seats, which is fine if its 2am and you’re drunk commuting home from the West Village in an empty train, but not fine during 5:00 after work rush on a Tuesday. My wife, without missing a beat, proceeds to walk directly to the…

If you have an inconsiderate, self-righteous birthday party on the subway and no one is around to photograph it, are you still cute and having fun?

I mean, god bless her Los Angeles heart, but I’m pretty sure eating food on the J-Train is quite possibly the most disgusting act a human being can partake in.
