triple-hopped so it’s bitter like the feeling of helping create the dystopian society that now imprisons you!

“her feminine wiles.”

I know! I will save all of the kittens and puppies.

you should propose if you want to. go for it! as for leaving an estate, you can always leave it to a charity or charities of your choice. you can even ask them (your charity of choice) and they can help you with the planning.

Sarah’s Scribbles Explains It All! Again!

Almost 46, also childless, never married, soon to be living in sin with a [hot] man [six months older than me tho, not younger]. Girl I got multicolor hair and a fucking huge makeup collection and some loud punk rock on the stereo and life is pretty great right now tbh.

SAME! I secretly love hearing my coworkers whine about their weekends spent at youth sporting events, cleaning up poo, attending birthday parties, etc., and I’m like I went on a hike with my dog, drank a bottle of wine and binged Stranger Things. And on Sunday I napped! I know they talk shit on me when I walk away, but…

I get that they’re opinion pieces, and not news. That’s literally what they’re called. But the paper decides which opinions they want to give a platform to. They aren’t going to post every single thing that gets offered to them - they make a choice. And they often, I believe, make a choice to publish something…

Does anyone else read opinion pieces with The Dude’s voice in their head?

A renowned legal expert with a decidedly open conflict of interest and an opinion that sidesteps the actual reason people are concerned by the appointment. If the purpose of the Courts is to act as a check against unfettered political power (it is, or at least it is supposed to be), Judges and Justices ought to be…

Counterpount: the Trump administration is corrupt from top to bottom, every member of it complicit with the Republican Party's racism, sexism, and corporatism. There is not an honest one among them, nor any with intent nor ability to do good.

I’m 32, single and no kids, and I can honestly say I’m living my best life. I got my degrees, I’m firmly into my career and earning a decent living, I just bought my first home and I’m becoming somewhat of a world traveler. I consider myself very lucky and try my best not to take it all for granted. I don’t want to sou…

New York is a company town: the business is high level finance and big ticket real estate. The New York Times is a company newspaper. To the extent that we identify “right wing” with pro-corporate, anti-worker, elitist, and, when necessary, pro-authoritarian, the New York Times is for sure a right wing newspaper.

Reminded inexorably of when plump 34/35-year-old Betty Draper goes to the doctor and is told: “Well, with middle aged women it gets easier to put it on and harder to take it off.”

Only 3-7 grey hairs at 35?! I am jealous.

I get what you’re saying here. I think there’s a tendency on the part of major news media sources to try very, very hard not to come off as liberal. So what they do, in print and on TV, is present these contrary takes again and again and again. So when Obama is POTUS, the opinion sections are filled with how he’s…

I’m more interested in what Cherminsky has to say. All analysis, no relying on memories of/personal interactions with a guy from 25 years ago.

I’m sure a woman 10 years from now, weeping over her positive pregnancy test after being raped, will wipe her tears away, take a deep breath, and say “well, at least Brett Kavanaugh went to Yale.”

Who vets op-eds for major newspapers? I often feel like the point of them is the print version of clickbait - intentionally inflammatory shit to get people talking.
