Sundays are a cake walk compared to the rat bastard that is Friday. No theme and long-ass answers? Fuck you for ruining the best day of the work week, Shortz.

I’ve been doing them every day for a decade. I love the Sunday ones though. Not a brag but I mean literally every day for a decade. It’s easy to recognize patterns in the clues/answers after that long. I also find themed puzzles easier. Friday kicks my ass though.

I’ve cheated on every single Sunday crossword I’ve ever attempted

Sort of. I started buying the Times just for the puzzles (and, okay, the Sunday Magazine section) now I’m a digital subscriber and read all of it online, and do the puzzles. The Sunday one is the highlight of the weekend. Many times they are WAY easier than Saturday. Saturday’s are just cruel. But once you figure out…

Ms Coffee, a feminist Jew lady, walks in with a coffee in one hand and a handful of tampons in the other. Both refreshingly hip and wickedly old fashioned she’s unafraid to crack whipsharp jokes harkening to the wonder years. “Hey,” Ms coffee said leaning over, her lady breasts gleaming with sugar, “what’s black and…

This is among the common Vogue interview sins that doesn’t get talked about enough - the part where the interviewer wastes my time by shoehorning in a drawn-out anecdote to show how clever they are. No one’s reading the interview for you, Van Meter!

She is lightning fast and whip smart, a New York Jew with a copy of the Times tucked into her bag.

I tell her about the time [Joan] Rivers was on an overnight flight, and as it was about to land, the flight attendant leaned down to offer her breakfast. “Chicken and eggs?” said Rivers. “On the same plate? What is that, the mother-daughter special?” Schumer lets out a big laugh, as it is classic Joan but it is also a…

This reads like something written by a pretentious freshman English major. You know he found sangfroid by Googling “calmness synonym”

Joffrey never killed anybody accidentally. I get the feeling chinless is going to burn the whole place down by accident before Dany gets a chance to do it on purpose.

It was very real too, my mom always big on the Sears family portrait and it NEVER ended without multiple children in tears and mom screaming at everyone.

She’s the best. She might be 20 years older than me, but she’s my celebrity crush. The Hope episode were they tried to take a perfect family photo is one of the best sitcom episodes in recent history. And it was all her. Not to mention she’s an outspoken feminist & abortion advocate. Yep, I’m sucker for awesome…

Savage is not a class act but a street fighter and thank God for that! And more street fighters are what the left-wing in this country needs and not pretentious hipsters, who think being politically correct (and feeling morally superior to everyone else) is better than winning.

Well, I don’t identify as monogamish, and I still enjoy reading his columns. I think it’s sometimes easy to forget that he writes an advice column, and that the things he says are direct responses to actual people in specific situations, and not overarching proclamations that are meant to apply to everyone.

I do think he’s great in the show. But I don’t know if I can see him in the same light again. He must be a good actor because I assumed that, like his character, he was a just a sweet, quirky gay kid trying to navigate being a teenager. But the interview sort of destroyed that in the first sentence or two when it said…

I just bought and read Lindy West’s new book. (It’s great, I encourage everyone to buy and read it.) She writes an entire chapter about what went down with Dan Savage and the fatphobic stuff, and explicitly says that he has evolved on this issue over the past decade. He’s also evolved on trans issues.

I refuse to picture anything but this...

I wonder if they have a good banter because they begrudgingly like each other or they sit on opposite sides of the table smiling tightly while fantasizing about the most gruesome ways to murder one another.

Am I the only one that thinks it’s weird that one of Bernie’s biggest and most vocal supporter have decidedly non populist tastes? Or am I thinking too hard about this?
