Yet again, Hazel, you fail to point out that this sculpture was intended to be a jungle-gym in a family friendly park where children would literally be clambering on a gallows for fun. This would have been an entirely inappropriate piece for the space and the community, which obviously includes Native people. So The…

I’m a social worker and weekly I lead a teens only therapy group at work. A few of the kids are goth and before group one day, I walked in on them congratulating each other on their scars from cutting. Apparently, it’s a badge of honor for some of them. I had no idea. So there I was stuck between asking them not to do…

There is a power differential and grooming was a major factor

Once again reminding people that all of our great presidents Washington Lincoln FDR and most of the good ones TR JFK Obama have all done morally reprehensible things or been terrible people. I love FDR he did tons of great things did he imprison people like me try to pack the Supreme Court and do dictatorial things,…

It may not be compelling like the Harriet Tubman episode but i would love to see this on DRUNK HISTORY.

Love this interview and this sounds like a fascinating book. Added it to my list! And I think I will carry it around in the meantime to throw at the next person who crows about the founding fathers.

Retail really sucks in the US. Your job is to sell a lot and make money. They have a hot product and they are upset. It’s pretty ridiculous. YOUR WHOLE FUCKING JOB IS TO MAKE COFFEE AND YOU’RE MAD YOU HAVE TO MAKE COFFEE.

Someone on Twitter pointed out that means she won the Australian open while pregnant.

That’s awesome! First person to win a Grand Slam while pregnant! GOAT. Take that, Roger.

“If life isn’t funny, then it’s just true and that is unacceptable.”

Well there has been (Perez and Ellison both have prushed for it and hard) but a lot of people are still angry and won’t get over themselves. Biggest issues I’ve seen:

My husband’s grandpa worked for American airlines and they flew standby as kids all the time. They dressed up. It was required because you may end up traveling in first class. These folks were flying for almost free. People feel so entitled. I dress comfy to fly because the airline industry makes flying extremely…

When my sister worked for United, we all had and followed the dress code for people getting basically free flights. And often, she and her kids would end up in first class. I really don’t see anything wrong with this policy. The passengers using the pass should have been aware of it too and dressed appropriately. …

Excellent article, thank you! Also want to say that James Baldwin has many, many books, both fiction and non, and all are worth our immediate attention. He is one our greatest American writers and I wish he was taught in every school.

None. She is a top five greatest athlete of any gender.

There really should be no discussion on this, ever again. Serena is the G.O.A.T by a significant margin. Playing in a much more competitive era, often would get a singles title AND a doubles title (which no one else can touch) and took a significant amount of time off in the prime of her career, too.

Her court vision…

“As a sitting board member you have amassed a record and established a pattern of behavior that is equally egregious and violates your oath of office and professional ethics as a board of education member,”

You know, it’s so refreshing to see that they both grew up to be normal. Jason went through a druggie period but came out of it fine (remember that actor from Suddenly Susan who killed himself after a night of hard drugs? I was surprised to find out that Bateman was out with him and Andy Dick that night. Something…

I like that he ended up being the more famous one out of that pair.
