Shit, this breaks my heart.

“As a journalist, one of the most important things that we can do is ask tough questions of the people who would be president — that’s our job,”

So...is it possible that Chad is an actor? I mean, his name is literally Chad and he acts like such a textbook Chad...

Knit dresses! Knit skirts! I can put on a knit skirt, a t-shirt, and a scarf, and i’m faux fancy, and feeling like I am in my pajamas!

That line broke my heart. Both of them are settling: the dog guy for not feeling like a “stray,” Colin for apparently putting up with someone who doesn’t love him just to have a relationship.

“Then I had this moment of panic because a puppy without a collar is a stray; they don’t have anyone to look after them. [...] It’s a sad thing to say, but there’s not love from the heart in me for Colin–but what I have got is someone who is there for me and I’m happy with that.”

This doesn’t sound super healthy? If…

This was exactly my thought- fetishes always seem like a lot of work.

never have I encountered a pursuit of orgasm that seems so completely exhausting as this.

Yeah, that was “holy shit fuck no” territory. Got no issue with people’s private kinks (shit, I domme a guy who is into this soooo) but that is fucking disgusting and I would have a hard time not resorting to fisticuffs if some jackass stranger or coworker “nipped” my shirt. Boundaries, learn them.

Far be it from me to tell consenting adults what to do, but whenever I read about stuff like this I always wonder, how do you discover that this is your kink? Do you see dogs and think, ‘that looks chill’? Because I don’t have a kink (yet) and if I am missing out on something I want to know.

yeah, don’t force other people to participate in your kink

I wear dresses, leggings, and flats because they are easier to put on. A couple of months ago my coworker asked if I constantly wore dresses as a “religious thing” which I found odd because the dresses I wear aren’t very conservative. Her eyebrows reached a new level when I explained that I do it because it is…

What is with the GOP/conservative obsession with Iran? They seem to have this weird duality where Iranians are both the biggest threat to America ever BUT ALSO the weakest people alive who couldn’t possibly compete against American power.

Well, David Brooks is a moron, to be fair.

my life is pretty easy at the moment, but i appreciate your sympathies nonetheless. again this post is a limited criticism of brooks’s column itself, which does not mention anything about clinton’s record, and merely says she needs to open up and be warmer, and i personally find that remarkable

yeah, i don’t disagree with you on the identity politics nightmare of the dem race right now at all, but it is still incredibly remarkable to me that david brooks pinpoints neither her record or her gender as the source of unlikability — and instead brings up the fact that she needs HOBBIES

“Hillary Clinton (who is imperfect and corruptible but an competent and experienced center-left public servant)...”

Yeah, I would give him a pass. I work at a Federal Defender's Office (criminal defense for the indigent!) and gallows humor is the way most of the very-feminist female attorneys I work for deal with their jobs. If you can't prove them innocent, you are trying to get your client the lowest possible sentence, no matter…

Good god, stop it. You’re just straight-up lying.
