Yes, there's gonna be big changes and big problems no matter what we do, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a lot we can do to meet the challenge and come out of it with a society intact. I swear people just enjoy being fatalistic about it at this point. My dad is a climate scientist (one of the leads on that last…

I have a Spotify playlist called "Wallowing". For wallowing. There's a lot of Bright Eyes and Mountain Goats on it, obviously.

Yeah, or maybe just having a number you can call if you get lost in there that's staffed by someone who works there?

. . .are you legitimately trying to hit on me right now?

Oh geez, on Tinder I never even tried harder than 'Hi there!'

Haha, nope. As a girl who has gotten variations of that hundreds of times, it will not lead to "pussy rolling in" (like mists over the ocean? What a freaking weird metaphor). How about actually reading their profiles and starting a conversation with them that has nothing to do with what they look like?

Hahah I missed that somehow, good point. There are eighty million great coffee places within a mile of Barclays, why pick the worst coffeeshop in the worst part of Brooklyn?

I would like to be on one managed by Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, where they regularly send you encouraging emails about how awesome you are and respond to reports of harassment by publicly mocking the guys and banning them from the site.

Good god. You'd think he'd actually pay some attention to what people like and respond to on dating sites. I'd never respond to "You deserve a flirt" or "You look like someone I'd like to get to know" in the first place, but if I knew it was a template? If you're gonna do that you might as well just go with "Hi".

Uuuuugh I had not seen this comment from Colbert, so disappointing.

I mean. . .I'm not at all religious but I have drank a Monster Energy Drink and I am pretty sure she's right.

I very much agree with you and I'm constantly frustrated by how many of my fellow American Jews who are generally pretty liberal will blindly support Israel, even when they're vocally critical of the same kinds of things when perpetrated by the US.

This is how a conversation with a Paleo person typically goes:

Hehe. You said butt.

I had a boyfriend who couldn't cook, and I understood why when I went to stay at his Mom's house and she'd literally prepare whatever we wanted for breakfast every morning. Breakfast! Boy never even had to make himself toast! His mom was really sweet but he was useless.

See, I felt like we didn't get enough of that stuff after Season 1. Or at least, it became too much about Sad Real World Situations and I just wanted to watch them bicker over who would inherit that big country house forever, and whether Bates was a Very Good Man or Secretly A Very Bad Man.

I kind of thought this at first, because most of the men who catcall me are men of color. However, reading and listening to the experiences of women of color has made me realize that it's actually "White men don't catcall WHITE WOMEN". Which is why we need more representation of the experiences of women of color!

. . .most Jews in America are of European descent.

We're mostly on the same page, except I don't think it's in any way new that people like Taylor Swift are moving in. NYC has always been right next to LA when it comes to vapid celebrities living here, it's odd to me that Taylor Swift is attracting so much attention for it (and people were going on about it before the…

Haha, I guess your comment would sort of make sense if I had said "It is wrong to bash all celebrities, therefore do not bash Taylor Swift" then went on to bash Jay Z. And I don't know how closely you can have followed the Atlantic Yards project and not think there's a gentrification angle. When even the NYTimes gets…
