So, full disclosure: I was an army wife for a period, divorced my ex who is still a soldier, and we are both happily remarried and we all get along, lalala

I cannot emphasize enough about not reading too far into text-based communication. My own boss is a great, enthusiastic guy in person, but over email, he sounds like a jerk. Like, when I first started, I thought he hated me, but he just does not know how to warmly communicate in email—it’s very abrupt and brief. (To…

Paddington walks around with no clothes under his raincoat, I’m sure HW views him as a kindred spirit not a possible target.

“Street Justice” isn’t Justice, either. It’s MSTRKRFT, who did the Justice thing two years before those dirty Frogs.

He can either quit AND fleece your embarrassing program of much needed money, or he can just leave and be done. It’s a class move to realize he wasn’t cut out for it, and not take millions more for doing a shitty job. This also helps out his assistants. If they wait until he’s fired, they can’t look for work until the…

You’re right, it could have ended much worse. However, I’m not sure I’d trust that flap of a door to hold up to a man willing to use physical violence on a bus.

Absolutely it would. The best part is someone kicking in your front door isn’t going to be too concerned about that law at all. So if you’re a legal gun owner in that scenario, well... you better be a real good fucking shot, because you’re gonna get off one to his ten.

Patients have been known to draw their curtain or shut their door. Being a dignitary doesn’t mean anyone has to put up with your presence at their bedside.

Probably time to give birth after 2 years.

That’s one of the crazy aspects of this story. It seems possible right now that this guy had access to at least one automatic weapon. You don’t just drive the family minivan down to Walmart for one of those. How did he acquire this level of weaponry and yet no one in his life seemed to be aware of it?

I don’t think people like Penelope (and me and people I know) are really in the minority. Here’s a quick summary of polls: http://www.pollingreport.com/guns.htm

i remember when i first move up here and the typical pats fan uniform was work boots, jorts, bruschi jersey, goatee and sawx hat on backwards. extra points if you were so red-eyed drunk that you swayed when standing and staggered when walking. those were the salad days...

Of all the post about Hugh’s death, Jez’s was the one I wanted to see most as to see how he was remembered. He has a complex legacy: publisher of some of the best authors of the 20's century, great art, amazing photographers (Annie Leibovitz, Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton among others), insightful interviews, early…

As Bob Costas said on a recent CNN appearance, there’s no anthem being played before movies or plays. Why is it played before sporting events?

There’s no special reason you should get shit for this; it’s a fair question and one we think and argue about. Trump is (I would say) a white supremacist in the sense that he argues and advocates for policies and political stances that privilege the traditionally-advantaged white caste. In a literal sense, his…

I kneeled, but that’s because I got iced.

How will ANY team win today with these distractions. Could set a record for ties today.

So Sean Spicer found a new job already. Cool.

You can also beat an undead horse in Denver, if you dare

I believe it’s called “jingoism” at this point. Though I bet that if paid the right sum of money, the NFL would open a football field sized box of Papa Johns pizza during the national anthem.
