That is Ms. Brown’s entire thesis. You have distilled the many hundreds of thousands of words she has spewed on this subject to a single trenchant post, thank you.

No, not exactly. Even though it’s the most expensive private institution in the U.S., Duke still gets some considerable amount of public funding, state and federal. It needs to comply with federal laws to some extent, and freeing students from religious nuts comes under that covenant. Private tuition dollars might go…

“I feel as if I would have to compromise my personal Christian moral beliefs to read it,” Brian Grasso wrote...

“Shannon and David are indeed still married, so maybe this truly was helpful. “

The fourth wave really cannot begin soon enough. It just cannot begin a second too soon.

I didn’t see her on that one...she actually appeared somewhere totally random, maybe even on a post about food employment horror stories? Like, “If you think THIS is bad, well, Marc Jacobs... etc.”

Well, it’s just shy of 3:00 in the eastern part of Europe, so...although I can’t imagine that Marc Jacobs vigilantes don’t sleep with one eye open!

We should have bet a bell-sleeved top or something on the time split concerning the appearance of the post. I almost have it memorised, actually...

I know! I can’t wait! I’m holding my breath for the inevitable appearance!!!!

Wow. As I mentioned to bonjourbox, I seem to have been extremely oblivious despite logging hundreds of thousands of kilometres on the DB. In about six weeks I’m going on a kind of longer trip, from Kassel then to Frankfurt then to Trier and on to Luxembourg and then back to München so I will try to be in Simenon mode…

Well, I trust your comments so...maybe I don’t know what the signs of doing heroin are. I guess you could sit quietly in your compartment and shoot up under your loden jacket and people would just think you were asleep. (Not you personally.) I don’t know. I’ve seen some very very very drunk people on the DB (and…

They don’t, unless they want to spend a long time being detained by the Bahnpolizei, then the regular Polizei, and then spending at least the day/night in detention – if they’re Schengen citizens. Then a ton of civil court appearances and fines. In Bayern, regional civil court appearances. There’s usually only one WC…

Leave it to an American, and one who probably rarely leaves Brooklyn at that, to make a “hilarious” dig at the Deutsche Bahn, the world’s most comprehensive railway system. People don’t do heroin on the DB. It isn’t a Fassbinder film from the ‘70s. I’ll let you get back to you gridlocked surface street and interstate…

Cabin in the Woods, which is the film The Final Girls is most being compared to, had the precise opposite of a cliffhanger ending, right? Most meta/dystopic horror ... Cloverfield, The Road, 28 Days Later, The Descent, Cabin Fever, Quarantine, etc. ... those aren’t cliffhangers. This doesn’t mean that horrible sequels…

Look, I hate to break it to you, but Jezebel – all of Jezebel, not just this post – is a feminist troll; its’ the Manchurian Candidate of feminism. It’s totally fake. Remember, Gawker is owned by noted libertarian anti-choice offshore wealth caching Nick Denton. Do you recall Natasha Vargas-Cooper’s post on Amy…

“Breaking?” This has been on the internet – including on Gawker – for more than 72 hours.

I think you, Yoga Nerd MD, and Ladyology should get together and compare “success” notes. I’m wondering what in your eyes defines “people who just literally can’t ... physically pull off looking the way I’m required to in court.” Also non “hard-science” degrees in the humanities that require a lot of critical thinking…

That’s a great photo, all around, and a beautiful chicken, and you also look beautiful and as interesting as your posts always are. I hope you find the domestic situation you are looking for and that suits you. I am not familiar with that part of the U.S. but I have friends who live on the coast near the…

I know this is unbelievable, but two things have occurred in and by 2015. The first thing is that people can read and write in English, which is the hosting language of this blog. The second thing is that women can get advanced academic degrees. I have one myself, and soon so will the OP. I actually think it is…

I’ve got some ideas.
