This sounds quite a lot like some of the bait-and-switch events that were popular in the nineties: come for the pizza and games, stay for the traumatizing turn-or-burn presentation!

No, I’m referring to the sentiment that is strong in the (mostly older parts) of the Cuban community and other ethnic communities with relatively recent immigration and refugee movement into the U.S. Which is to claim that those who are seeking asylum now don’t have a basis, or that they’re not “coming here and doing…

Jesus Christ. The shittiness of the “Fuck you, I’ve got mine” crowd knows no bounds, apparently...

Yep, CNN just reported that a moment ago and I hope that this remains a central point of discussion around this fucked-up garbage stunt. Also, networks are focusing on the millions of dollars Florida and Texas are spending, and I’m glad - all of this to basically further traumatize these refugees just for a “gotcha”…

No offense whatsoever intended to this writer, as I appreciate the honesty regarding the now late queen, but I just have to say that I’m longing for a Kelly Faircloth take on today’s turn of events.

True. But it sounds like his family is.

That’s unusual, then. I’ve worked in the auto remarketing space for the last 15 years (huge auto auction company for 12, national dealership more recently), and inventory is the worst I’ve ever seen it, with no clear relief in sight.

If we look around us at the women we most admire, we will often see that they give and give and give of themselves, that they seem to have boundless time, energy, and service to give. They are not private persons, but are surrendered and available to care for others.

Not when you cut your teeth at the Phyllis Schlafly School of Conservative Womanhood: “Subjugation for thee, but not for me!”

Yeah, I don’t keep up with celebrity stuff too much but their story sticks out to me for being weird. I remember that when news came out about their split and people were asking him why they separated, his only response to that was, “I wish I knew. Maybe someday I’ll understand why”. That stood out to me because it…

Exactly. I’m 42, I make $75k/year and I’m divorced with three children; I have $30,000 in student debt - this would knock out a third of it. That is HUGELY meaningful to me.

Because their comments become visible as soon as someone non-greyed replies. So the best course of action is, as ever, to ignore the trolls! It really should be on the masthead.

Cool. Any thoughts to share about Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron’s 24-year age difference? Can’t say I’ve ever seen anything derogatory here regarding their age difference... and theirs is more worthy of questioning, by way of timing, than Florence Pugh and Zach Braff’s.

Yes - the dog finally caught the car and now the car is about to back right over it.

It sure seems that there are a LOT of dawdlers out there, speaking from anecdotal experience. I’m 42 and attempting to date in my age range; I’m finding that around 40%-50% of the men I see on these dating apps who are in their early forties are childless, but want to have children.

I’m going to be that asshole forty-something, but I’d like a follow up article in several years when these couples have separated or divorced and moved on with their lives. How “traumatized” will they still be from having to plan the details of their wedding? *eyeroll all the way to the back of my skull*

I’d guess from the styling that the intention here was to make him go full “Earring Magic Ken”.  https://www.intheknow.com/post/earring-magic-ken-gay/

Today is the last day of school for my kids. I’m battling anxiety for mine, grief for those families in Uvalde and the children and loved ones they’ve lost, and can’t focus to get any work done. I woke up in the middle of the night wondering where I can buy those bullet-proof backpacks for the next school year.

Absolutely this. I live in Indiana and had to google search to figure out where the hell this tiny town was even at. There is a 0.0% chance that anyone in that town was unaware that there was a murderer on the ballot; additionally, it has been all over Indianapolis news, so...

I really can’t blame anyone who wants to wrap themselves in a Wes Anderson palette as a salve against the horrors of the world outside of their front door. If my face wash, toilet paper package or credit card want to reflect that gauzy visual escape from reality... then, fine?
