My best friend's fiance bailed the week before the wedding. She was devastated. (Now happily married to another man.)

I've never heard of that. That's an adorable tradition.

I seem to end up posting this gif every week now.

ppp makes even more sense. He must have accidentally typed an o instead of another p.

Maureen Johnson made a very nice pictorial guide to Franzen's remarks on her twitter:

Just saw this on twitter:

Is that Hannah Hart? What's that from?

Someone asked Hank Green, a YouTuber who lives in Missoula about this, and he explained who this guy actually represents and how local politics in Montana works.

I actually still think it is a typo, but it doesn't really matter. :)

I think so, but I guess it doesn't really matter.

Hi Colin, I think there might be a typo in the jazz musician story. Did he mean "pp" instead of "pop?" (Pianissimo is abbreviated pp and means very soft. Piano is abbreviated p and means soft.)

Eye disease is scary. I mean, people can do what they want, obviously, but why would they court disease and blindness like that?

For what it's worth, I think we need all the feminists we can get, women and men. The person in the article is clearly no feminist, but that doesn't mean that all men who identify as feminists are like him.

Why is it that when anything includes (or anyone discusses) women and/or minorities it's pandering?

I love this argument that certain men have. "Well, you feminists would go crazy if we made the exact same thing you did, but focused on men." I've never seen it to be true.

Hey!

Hello, computer!

Hi. Maybe talk to your parents or to another adult about it? Someone who will listen to you and give you advice (and maybe be able to talk to her parents if that's what you want), but who will also listen and respect what you think should be done. Keep in mind, if you talk to a school employee about it, they are…

That's an awesome picture.

I really liked Endeavor. It's a prequel series to Inspector Morse set in the 60's when Morse first joins the police. Each episode is an hour and a half, but there are only four episodes per season (plus one pilot episode that's also part of the series). It's not on netflix, though.
