I dislike this current trend of hating on historical writers because they wrote with the biases and prejudices of the time.

I think it is important to read and discuss the books with kids.  We shouldn’t sanitize history and pretend that everyone in America’s history was flawless and noble.  Kids should understand that people are complicated.  They should also understand that society can change and progress can be made.  You don’t have to

Personally, I think it is VERY important that kids see racism, sexism etc in action so they can understand what it looks like and why it’s wrong. I wouldn’t let a kid read these books totally unsupervised, but I wouldn’t rule them out entirely. I got a lot of my love of the outdoors and desire to do things like cook,

That’s not no reason. It’s an apartment building. It’s shared. You don’t fuck up the entrance by having you’re kids sell shit at the entrance. I’d have called the cops too no matter who was doing it. There’s a social contract with apartment buildings: don’t bother anybody, plain and simple. 

“Youth is wasted on the young.”

I like how words can paint a mental picture but reading the headline makes me think, “some pictures should not be painted”

President Obama said that North Korea was our biggest and most dangerous problem. No longer - sleep well tonight!

The bigger question is... why in God’s name is anyone willing to fuck Rudy Giuliani? Not enough money in the world.

He basically disproved his own political stance with his petty yard bullshit. Libertarians think all people will just be their best selves when freed of government oversight. Instead they fucking blow metaphorical or literal yard debris where ever the fuck they want.

While Paul most definitely antagonized the guy, I also believe that some people are just so fucking nuts about their lawns, views, neighbors, etc. and get angry over the most insane shit. And I’m sorry, they’re usually retired and have nothing else to do but mow their lawns twice a day and spend the rest of the time

I just came to say oh my god that statue has a huge dick. I can’t believe I took so long to get it. Huge dick statue. Classic.  

Oh, please. You can rest assured there will be a full, fair, and complete investigation absolving Tyndall of any responsibility.

I have absolutely no faith in this Department of Education.

I mean, I kind of agree with him re: people who say ‘like’ and ‘oh my god’ a lot (it does come off a bit ditzy) but I would never tweet about it (not that I tweet). It’s the sort of judgy, bitchy comment I reserve for close friends, not public broadcast.

using his kid makes it extra slimy- like he’s the innocent loving father who laughs with his kid at the ridiculous comedy woman. so gross.

It’s the “indeed” that gets me. Why do all these tools use “indeed”? Do they think it makes them sound smart?

Oh my god. Her response really is absolutely perfect.

It’s weird how it seems like humans naturally yearn for some type of aristocracy and social hierarchy.

No surprise there. Generally - rich people hang out with other rich people - especially in the Hamptons. Their wealth is frequently a more important bond than their respective political affiliation.
