I actively enjoy Bey’s music but Homecoming just served to underscore the emptiness of it all... I know a larger point is trying to be made at this point in her career, and bless her! Wish the gal nothing but good will. But there’s just not much “there” there when you dig underneath the glitz and glamour of the…

She does not.  California allows the option of serving as an apprentice to a licensed attorney for four years.  After that time, you can sit for the bar and, if you pass, able to practice law in California just as any other attorney who passes the bar.  The pass rate for people who try it this way is about 30%.

that ending really came out of nowhere

You’re fucking your cousin?

That ending is not quite where I expected anything having to do with this article to go.

i just found out a few weeks ago that i am very unexpectedly pregnant. i took the test the same day i first suspected anything. the following day i was at exactly 7 weeks.

“He isn’t interested in the actual politics, just the reaction.”

This is a bigger deal than it seems. If you read up on it, it makes a big more sense.

Federal prosecutors win cases and the data is there to prove it. They do not fuck around. Not fucking around is number 1 on their list of responsibilities. It is their mantra. When they offer a plea you maybe try to whittle it down to no jail time, take whatever you can get anyway, and say thank you.

I think Mr. & Mrs. Aunt Becky are the ones to blame, and it may be a bit harsh (intelligence comes in many forms, and just because you aren’t cut out for college doesn’t mean you are dumb) but I’m afraid this is something that’s going to follow them around for a while: they will be known as those stupid girls who were…

I think the strangest thing to come out of this whole college admissions scandal is that USC is somehow considered an “elite” university.

“...to get their dumb daughters into the University of Southern California.”

Yep, if you don’t come out “woke” from the womb, you’re doomed forever. There is no such thing as education, personal growth, evolution of ideas Just like evangelicals condemn science because scientists update their theories as they gather more facts, we must condemn Taylor Swift for updating her opinions

In that case, they should have left at least 20% 25% of the bottle.

Most people would assume wine or some other treat is intended as a gift for the host, unless they asked you to bring something. The only reason I can think of for the host to suggest they take the wine home, is that they don’t particularly care for that variety. Might also explain why it wasn’t served with dinner.

It’s a valid critique though...99% of people have to live somewhere that is a) where their family is b) where the jobs are. The ven diagram of a) has lots of jobs b) is near the people I know/love c) has arts/culture/restaurants d) is cheap tends not to be wonderful. I’m glad it works for the author, I really am, but…

My friend, this is a book excerpt. Earlier in the book we learn that Angel is from Atlantic City. Thank you for your attention to detail and passion re: geography. 

If you have to rely on alcohol to get you through your day, that is neither cute nor rebellious. That’s a sign of a serious problem — mom or not. If I were a teacher or a CPA or a bus driver, I can assure you no one would think I was cute if I talked about how much I needed an “ adult juice box” throughout the day.…

I’m a mom (of a 3 month old and 3 year old), and while I identify with what they are talking about, I just find this whole “mom culture” thing to be really obnoxious- especially the constant wine-swilling mom trope. While I know it is exaggerated for the sake of “humor,” and I am certainly not against the occasional…

Me too! I can’t believe it’s over. I am going to miss her character so very much.
