The only time this happened to me I was on a flight to Korea and had the window, while a kindly old Korean woman had the isle. We exchanged pleasantries (nods, es she didn’t speak much english) and I silently helped her untangle her earphones. After the plane took off and we both realized there was no one to sit

Being a sore loser and not conceding when he loses, shit talking the organizations when he doesn’t get their endorsements, stealing campaign data, whining about the establishment when he almost exclusively gets positive press and now constantly changing the conditions after agreeing to them - it’s Bernie’s world

“I sure hope — we’re in Bernie Sanders’ backyard here in New Hampshire — I sure hope he intends to show up in his neighboring state”...“There is nothing worse than a debate about debates.”

I hope he doesn’t drop out anytime soon. Now that Trump has somewhat reeled in the crazy and Carson is about to drop out any day, we don’t have a lot of people who will bring the funny anymore.

Something that bothers me about all of the coverage of Daniel Holtzclaw is that I haven’t seen and heard enough about the gorgeous human being who brought him to justice: Jannie Ligons. I’ve endured every angle of Holtzclaw’s rage-y, deflated mug, and haven’t heard enough about the first police complaint, the first

Prepare for a visit from the ghost of David Bowie. He’s coming for you for cremating him in NEW JERSEY of all places. I know that he made a provision for an alternate cremation location, but how did you jump from Bali to New Jersey? It should just be understood by now that nobody wants to go to NJ, even when dead.

“Bowie was cremated in New Jersey earlier this month.” may be the single most depressing sentence ever written, so congratulations on that.

I teach 4th grade, and one of my kiddos asked if he could do sharing on Friday. He brought in his iPad and started to talk about his favorite singer who had recently died. He played “Let’s Dance” for the class and shared pictures that he found on the internet. It was the sweetest thing ever! Most of the class had no

My brother got drafted to the NFL but chose to leave after an injury before he ever saw playing time (he had a really bad experience with a strength trainer on his college team, basically they don’t care about making you healthy, they just want you good enough to get back out on the field) and I’m thankful every day.

I love football, but have a harder and harder time just vegging out and watching it like a big dumb baby than I used to the more and more this information comes out. You watch a guy like Antonio Brown go ragdoll from a helmet hit, and it’s hard to ignore the CTE elephant in the room.

Mommas don’t let your babies play football as babies, either. This case is important because it shows that it’s not necessarily a long career in the NFL that does it — the damage done when playing peewee, high school, and college count, but no one talks about it. Scary shit.

“keep fucking them.”

Mommas, don’t let your babies grow up to be NFL players.

More snow then, please

...and not a one of those senators who stayed home touched a shovel or vacuum cleaner.

There should be a thinking poop emoji for this, and for life.

I just assumed it was sarcasm. I guess it’s hard to tell, though, since people say that shit 100% seriously all the time.

Yeah. I figured the “no angel” line would make it clear that I was pointing out how the media often treats situations like this. I guess people have already forgotten about the posthumous Times profile of Michael Brown, though.

And alone in a cell, no less! Can you imagine how terrifying that would be for a child? Makes me heartsick.

Kinda waiting for Bernie to hop in saying, “She raises an excellent point on the needed rehabilitation of veterans, though her ire is slightly misaimed,” with or without that second part.
