Something tells me the anti-vaxx lunatics will nonetheless be lining up for these when they’re available.

Do not feel bad! We finally had to report a neighbor who spent 6 months out of the year on the other side of the world and rented his apartment out the entire time. Sometimes there’d be three different “tenants” in one week, giving our building keys to each other. It was ridiculous and not safe for the rest of us.

You’re so right. I never thought of that. Ugh, good riddance, Cruz. Hopefully these girls can have somewhat of a normal existence going forward.

I suggest you check out the NYT VR app. Some of their stories bring you into some of the most devastated, war-torn countries and immerse you in the environment (as best they can). I think there’s tremendous potential for this kind of technology to provide us with some much-needed empathy.

Do vegans and vegetarians not routinely choose vegan/vegetarian options at restaurants that serve meat? This has even less of an impact.

Legit thought this was a photo from the 80's

BF?

See, a woman would never do that, because delicate flowers etc. etc....unless we’re talking about rape stats, in which case it turns out men are being victimized as rapists when in fact women sexually assault men more than the other way around. Try to keep up!

Full disclosure, I work for an academic medical research center in a major metropolitan city, but I can say that a huge amount of our capital is thanks to philanthropy. I would bet that’s the case for a lot of large universities conducting medical research.

I got sucked into a Tragic Kingdom music video rabbit hole last week, and it’s so true. I bought that album when I was 12 and I love it as much now as I did then. Too bad her current music doesn’t even come close to resembling classic No Doubt, although I suppose that will happen over 20 years.

Yes, and the worst part is that I was in high school at the time. It was one of my dad’s patients, and after he introduced me as his daughter the guy was like, “Oh, I thought maybe you were...*wink” and I think I literally dropped over dead

I live down the street from her, and while it is technically a walkup it’s more the top floor of a very nice brownstone with a beautiful finished roofdeck, and she put it up for sale recently. Still relatively modest by NYC celeb standards though, for sure.

Hello fellow broad-shouldered friend, I know exactly what you mean. My friends think I have a complex. I almost never wear my hair up unless I’m working out.

I’m a woman and some guy in my office building said, “Thanks, sweetheart” when I held the elevator door for him. I wish I’d thought of a snappy comeback at the time but was distracted by the fact that I’d temporarily been transported to the set of Mad Men.

I am finding it mind-boggling how many white people are taking it upon themselves to educate us about the nuance of race here.

I find myself nodding aggressively in agreement with all of your comments on this post. Thank you for putting it so well. As a biracial woman with a black dad and a white mom I too know that I have a level of privilege that some of my peers do not. It’s frustrating to me that people are refusing to acknowledge the…

Thank you for finding me, I COMPLETELY agree with you and no one seems to get what I’m saying.

Yes, that’s a good point. I guess I’m not mad at what I think was probably the motivation behind the segment, I just think that a lot of people will make lazy conclusions from it.

I realize it was a comedy skit but if that was the whole point it could’ve been made much more effectively by talking to random people on the street. As it is, the takeaway is more likely to be similar to this guy who commented earlier, whose conclusion seems to be that “black people” don’t actually know what they’re…

I really hated this whole segment, felt like it was perpetuating a lot of negative assumptions people already have about black people. What was the point?
