They are kids. I think Hogg is a future Senator. But he has to wait until he’s 21. Until then, he is a kid.

If you’re so scared a kid is going to topple your second amendment rights, you’re a gigantic fucking coward.

“Nabe”? Fuck that.

Or Canton, Fells Point, or Highlandtown in Baltimore. Previously poor to working class white people were priced out of houses that had been in their families for years. The biggest difference is that many of those folks priced out were able to use the money from the home sales to move elsewhere, often into the county.…

I think he is trying to go fake native as he is from IL.

He’s just mad that he can’t virtue signal like a motherfucker to his other white friends.

Seems to me he is using, “Look! I’m a white guy who hates white people!” as a distraction so we don’t pay attention to what he actually hates, which is children. To which I say, sir, they’re going to be paying for your Social Security some day. Chill out; it’s not like you have to take them home with you. And I assure…

Reminds me of that W. Kamau Bell line: “You know gentrification is bad when white people start complaining about it. ‘I remember when that coffee shop WAS A DIFFERENT COFFEE SHOP!!!!’”

No, because I hate it enough to not engage with it on any level.

Right? I read that as, “I’m not really sure how to interact with black people, so I project my discomfort onto them.”

That response about being pretty sure he’s never been racist is a pretty clear indicator that some implicit bias training and teach-in were necessary before implementing this.

Okay, the craziest thing I read here today is that Meghan Markle did the calligraphy for Robin Thicke and Paula Patton’s wedding invitations in 2005? What?!?!?

when I was a kid, the Lebanese deli down the road from school put it up on the board as “HOMOS B’TAHINI.” Which- being middle school kids- made us giggle every time.

Yeah I think the whole book was a bunch of bullshit. I can imagine the women joking about it and this woman, looking for a salacious anecdote, put it down as a real thing.

The fact this memoir with all of its questionable anecdotes, dubious facts, and insufferable author is getting more money and attention is the most disappointing lack of karma for me since the 2016 election

When I’ve read quotes from women who get these bonuses, it’s always in the context that their husbands get an annual bonus for their work, and a portion of that goes to their wives to spend however they want because without the support of their wives, they would not be able to apply themselves at work in the same way…

Ah the wife bonus! Because no matter how egalitarian and modern you claim to be, your husband is still your boss and he determines the value you bring to the household or you have to negotiate your worth with him.

That Elle magazine “rebuttal” is written by “Blair Schmaldorf.” That’s clearly a Pseudonym/ Gossip Girl reference, right? Because the NY Times among other legit outlets referenced it as if “Blair Schmaldorf” were a real person.

And see I’m thinking actual rich women on the UES aren’t going to blab their personal business to some “anthropologist,” but maybe we have different ideas of what constitutes rich.

Could we stop talking about the wife bonus like it’s a real thing? We have absolutely no evidence but this one woman’s rather dubious claims.
