One thing it took me a long time to learn in my 20s was that I don’t even actually WANT to be friends with a lot of people I used to know. They’re fine people, but their lifestyles diverged from mine and it turns out that simply living down the hall from someone for a year in college isn’t enough to sustain a…

I’m trying to wrap my head around why it would be even remotely desirable to wear makeup to an event that is literally all about getting sweaty and dirty.

My first thought was, “I hope they split up so this woman can’t make (as much)  money off of her sister”.

Nonsense. She has had the same manager for 55 years (Martin Ehrlichman). She had the same assistant for 40 years. She’s had the same producing partner since the 70s.

I see it differently. A few famous people have said that they knew as children that they would be famous some day. I don’t see it as selfish or idiotic, just ambitious and ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.

god i love her!

I think the real point here is that the big phot ops for events that center around her are over. And that’s clearly something she care a lot about.

“As I turn 30, most of my big life moments are behind me”

That is a total canard. As an Orthodox Jewish male, I can assure you that we have sex in much the same manner as any other married couples do.

This sounds dumb, but my husband got me a 9 foot charging cord for my iPad. At the time (a few years ago) I didn’t know such things existed. He’d noticed me sitting awkwardly near my charger and surprised me with it. It was so thoughtful and solved a frustration I didn’t realize I was having.

Happy birthday! All the happy returns. The best present I have ever received was from my little brother, who, about fifteen years ago, gave me maybe the greatest book ever published. I wore the binding out in a year. (This was before cats took over the internet.)

It’s my birthday!! ITS MY BIRTHDAY! My dad keeps asking me what I want for it, but I don’t really want anything. So - what’s the best gift you’ve either got or given?? I got bose wireless headphones last year that I am obsessed with. Best gift I’ve ever given was a really fancy traveling backgammon set to an at the…

Then it would be about millenial women becoming unlikely friends while all working like crazy to escape the social media group and get to The New Yorker, New York Magazine or The New York Times.

We should all get writing credits, dammit!

and she probably pays a lot of attention to COI indices and temperament and doesn’t make a ton of money on the dogs (unless she’s showing champions).

Father with a 21 year-old woman/college student. Call me if you’re in need of bail money involving a triple homicide. Talk to your mom if it has anything to do with sex. I don’t even want to know about it especially since I’ve met a few of your boyfriends and everyone involved looks like kids.

Not as much as an 18 year old. Trust me.

I imagine that as teacher shortages worsen, licensing and hiring standards will decline. It’s a soul-crushing job that smart, normal people don’t need to tolerate unless they’re seriously dedicated to a higher concept of social contribution. Or sexual predators.

I have no idea what I wore to my first date with my boyfriend (also five years ago! *high five*)... does that make me a bad girlfriend? He probably doesn’t remember either.

Anyone can have a podcast. That’s why there are so fucking many of them.
