I’ll admit to being stunned by this review. My wife read this on vacation and I picked it up after exhausting my reading material. It is TERRIBLE. The most absurd wish-fulfillment nonsense you can imagine and one of the worst books I’ve ever finished. Mom is perfectly fit, is financially secure running a gallery that…

The comments on this story are disappointing. Like, even though her politics are terrible, there shouldn’t be an exemption from her being safe or feeling threatened by a ex-partner who has a history of abuse.

I don’t think Planned Parenthood has the time or expertise to weigh on Global Political issues. Nonprofits need a singularity of purpose to fund raise and to maintain an actual knowledge base. Not everyone who supports abortion is going to share the same view on the Israel Palestine conflict. Not everyone supporting…

Reproductive rights, and protecting abortion, are some of the most popular issues in the Democrats’ wheelhouse and arsenal, to say nothing of other left-leaning political forces. Making support of that issue contingent on another, more or less unrelated and highly divisive geopolitical issue, is a fantastic way to…

Hamas clearly has enough fuel to keep fighting. Maybe the official government of Gaza can spare some for its citizens.

A lot of women HERE undergo c-sections with no anesthesia. If it’s an actual emergency or too late in the delivery process, that’s normal.

I guess I’m not as chronically online as I thought, because I didn’t clock that hashtag as even remotely familiar.

“This is not the first time the Gaza Strip has been attacked by Israel.” In fact, Kylie Cheung, Hamas has initiated every single conflict. There have been 15 ceasefires with Hamas since they came to power, and Hamas has violated every single one. As a journalist, it is your responsibility to conduct thorough…

Any word on how many of the Israelis killed in the initial terrorist attack were pregnant? Or how many women suffered shock and lost their babies?

Probably doesn’t help that Palestinian Jihadis are accidentally blowing up their own hospitals.

I am/was firmly on the team that she needed to step down, but writing an entire eulogy about her life’s work that basically shits on her for the last year-ish of her time on Capitol Hill is distasteful. This woman dedicated her life to public service, did more to further democratic causes than most of us will ever do,…

“It’s really unfortunate that a woman who authored the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 will be remembered for aging so ungracefully out of government.”

{long slow fart sound}

In a year not a single person will care about the last few months of her time in the Senate; that less than a quarter of the words here are…

Damn. If this is true...damn.

So a couple of millionaires tried to buy a house from a third millionaire for millions upon millions of dollars—but one of the millionaires involved is saying he lacked capacity to do the deal for somewhat understandable reasons. I’m having a difficult time mustering sympathy here; no one involved seems like they’re…

I absolutely thought you were being facetious when you said Aidan “looks like shit”, because John Corbett always looks gorgeous. Maybe it’s my bias for John Corbett (and my steadfast love for the character of Aidan, and that he deserves way better than Carrie) - but I think Aidan looks fine. Carrie has always seemed…

Are you going to offer any kind of apology for implying that all the people who called this a hoax racist and/or sexist?

*shrugs* Sorry for having a moderate, pro-choice opinion on the subject of abortion that’s not yours... I guess?

Yep, this is a pretty horrible and indefensible write-up. Especially that headline too, making it sound like “It is what it is” is some sort of statement from the wife when its nothing more than an offhand comment from a third party describing the wifes experience of learning about everything.

Do we want to relativize rudeness, though? Could they have waited until the artist was between songs t0 have someone take their picture?

1. That’s not a selfie. I know English is an evolving language but that’s not a fucking selfie, otherwise any goddamn photo with a face on it is a selfie.
