oh my god what if they really aren’t fucking and then they fuck and it’s nowhere near as good as the ice dancing

that second “uh” is doing a lot of work

I’m glad you linked to this tweet ‘cause it says everything you said and more and honestly you should just delete your post and replace it with a link to this tweet

I read the headline of Brooks’ column - “Respect First, Then Gun Control” - and was actually gearing up to agree with him! Because I do think that no gun control effort has any hope of success in America without (1) acknowledging that that lots of people who believe in the “good guy with a gun” myth are people of good…

1. You’re a prick.

Taking KD first, which is of course what Lebron did in real life, is boring. This pick (1) wounds KD’s fragile ego; (2) dashes Steph’s stated hopes, pre-draft, of playing alongside Giannis; and (3) forces Steph to keep his promise (also stated pre-draft) and pick his own teammate KD, which, yawn.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ very bad understudy Raj Shah told an even more laughable lie earlier today, claiming that the indictment proves that “[a]ll of these efforts were about sowing confusion in the electoral process and undermining the next president, not about supporting one candidate over the other.”

I’m glad you enjoy your life. I didn’t say you shouldn’t. You’d be hard-pressed to deny that that salary is as high as it is thanks in part to the fact that Americans react to the kinds of horrific bloodshed we just witnessed yesterday - in which hundreds of lethal projectiles flew at high speeds through one of those…

Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein called the indictments “evidence of a conspiracy.” He told CNN: “Who was witting, unwitting in that conspiracy, we don’t know yet. ...”

I know you know he was making a point through irony, but your headline utterly fails to convey that and makes it seem like you might think he is a hideously racist ghoul. I know it’s not a lot to ask of someone to read a 155-word article or watch a 94-second clip, but many won’t; are your headline writers at all…

That does seem like the most obvious explanation (especially given that he turned up at the airport) but then you read the local news story out of New York:

better than before? Though still awfully pushy.

I am trying to say this in a way that does not make me sound like I’m trying to hold myself out as some kind of paragon of consent-getting virtue — I’ve been in a monogamous relationship for 16 years and for sure I had a few awkward encounters in my twenties that I look back on wondering a little about my own behavior…

Tonight in America, on Valentine’s Day, 17 moms and 17 dads are wrecked by the devastation of losing a son or daughter.

Poor Junior.

I think it’s unfair to criticize this young man so publicly. I had a lot of opinions and haircuts I’m not proud of looking back on my first couple years of high school.

No - he doesn’t say that Trump didn’t pay. Only that neither the Trump organization nor the campaign paid. There is plenty of room in the statement for multiple possible scenarios in which the money came from Trump himself. (See that Kerr piece I linked to.)

Michael Cohen’s personal loyalty to Donald Trump has clearly been paid for many times over, over the course of decades. Even if the money really did come from him - and I doubt it did - in the end a $130,000 hit to his bank account is peanuts compared to the financial consequences of losing his position as Trump’s…

That’s a very difficult question to answer.

That’s reasonable I guess but my take would be:
