Middle school teacher here. Between the slime and the fidget spinners, I’m about to lose my mind. (Not that these things aren’t better than the alternative, but still!)

Flawless, but it was Corey Hawkins who stole the show.

I saw the revival of Six Degrees of Separation on Broadway yesterday. The show was fantastic; go if you can. I was struck in particular by how relevant the play (which was written in the late 1980s and premiered on Broadway in 1990) is today.

Love the Dez. Don’t know the Dr. Fink. I’ve got a Jesse Johnson solo album, which is how committed I am to the cause of the Minneapolis sound.

It says a lot about my posting history on Jezebel that I immediately thought this comment was in reference to an earlier post I’d made about school uniforms.

“Housequake” is so damn good.

I respectfully disagree. School is a job—perhaps a means to an end, but a job nonetheless—and part of my responsibility as a teacher is to help my students understand that they must treat different situations differently. Wear whatever you want when you’re hanging out with your friends. But, when you’re in the…

I agree completely.

I’m with you on that one. Hugely. Uniforms > dress codes, all day long.

On the other hand, not being married in America today seems to mean fearing the weekly phone call from your mother asking why you aren’t married yet.

I’m not trolling, I promise. There’s nobody we want on our side right now more than Jim Comey.

My take is that he wasn’t trying to interfere but that he made a decision, in the interests of transparency, that backfired significantly.

I’ve known Jim Comey for nearly a decade (not well enough to hear his secrets, but well enough that, if he ran into me on the street, he’d say hello). Unlike McCain, he is a deeply principled, ethical man. Trump has no idea what he’s started.

I enjoy Clint Eastwood’s Play ‘Misty’ for Me for two reasons: Jessica Waters and Clint’s amazing house.

If you haven’t seen Weiner, the documentary, it’s available to stream for free via Showtime and to buy or rent at your favorite online stores. It’s a fascinating, disturbing watch, but it’s well worth your time.

You’re correct. Good catch!

And also, not to be that guy, but the name of the band is Talking Heads—no article necessary.

This is excellent news, mostly because it might introduce Talking Heads to a new generation of fans but also because “Psycho Killer” is one of the few Talking Heads songs in which all four band members share a co-writing credit.

Jessica Waters is to die for.
