A rational society would view ECE as one of the most important and cost effective investments we can collectively make in the the health of the nation, the future of the economy, and individual outcomes of the next generation. When we value this work on par with fast food service, we should expect outcomes to reflect…

it depends on the center- there’s a lot that goes in to maintaining a center itself- rent, bills, food, cleaning (sanitation is extremely key, we have three different levels of bleach/water combo for different situations), maintaining functioning and safe equipment for the kids, toys etc. for small independent centers…

I will donate an extra $100 to the campaign if Bruce ends his performance with “Fuck you, Chris Christie!” I mean, haven’t we earned that?

Best part of this is you KNOW Chris Christie is weeping in the shower somewhere.

Not disagreeing entirely, but I have considered him incredibly hot for more than a decade now AND he’s BFF with Amy Sedaris. I find it hard to believe he’s insufferable in person if he’s BFF with Amy Sedaris.

Well, as soon as Huma found out that her husband’s sexual proclivities involved a child (even if he isn’t sexually attracted to kids, which, um 15 year old so I guess he is) she dumped his ass like a hot potato.

The fact that she immediately left him and did not try to defend him tells me that she is probably going to be okay. This is totally shitty and I feel for her and the kids. But I think that she is someone who can survive. I hope so.

I can’t think of a legit reason for my boyfriend to have my account and phone passwords. He has his own accounts and phone. Why would he need mine? Absent some actual suspicions about something, why would I demand that he give me his? I don’t believe that just because I’m part of a couple, I have to give up all…

Don’t ignore your gut feeling. Several years ago, I dropped my daughter off at preschool and ran into the new summer teacher who I hadn’t met before. I instantly felt something was off about him. He made me uncomfortable. Turns out, he molested nearly all of the girls in the class that summer. One of the only reasons…

Yeah, “red flags” are easy to spot in hindsight, but so often they are perfectly consistent with innocent behavior. You can’t go through life just assuming that every slightly odd behavior is something dark and nefarious. There’s an implicit trust you just have to have in people that the things they are doing…

Exactly. I divorced a man that I found out had been going on Craigslist having sex with strangers—both men and women—for our entire marriage. I had no idea at all. Not even an inkling. I definitely didn’t know he was bisexual, and I didn’t know he was cheating on me. I told someone about it once and they refused to…

From the sound of it, and to provide a glimmer of hope, I’d bet you anything that if she brought Subway to court she’d get a settlement because Subway really doesn’t want to go to court.

Stories like this are just so tragic, and depressingly common. People are so capable of hiding things that when loved ones find out the truth it’s devastating. Like, maybe they knew that their spouse had a bit of a problem turning off the internet at night before bed, but who would presume that that was because they…

I found this terribly sad and all too believable. This college classmate appears to be using his real name and appears to be backed up by other witnesses, some chiming in right here. How do we know what Trump, an entitled narcissist in every way, would do in private (or semi-private). If you read Ivana’s divorce…

I am very sorry for the child that he was that turned him into this adult. Happily, most abused children are not Trumps, so they go on to be perfectly ordinary, not terrible people. But Jesus, I pity this poor fuck almost as much as I think he’s The Worst Jr

I was at Penn at the same time as Melker. Donnie was indeed a sad sack of a human being who peed everywhere and assaulted everyone. He belonged to the most rape-y of rape-y fraternities and comfortably communicated with his asshat brothers in the misogynist language of his father and...he just sucked. He really did…

Donald, Jr. is the most slappable son. Eric is the most “thrust a crucifix in his face and dispatch him with a wooden stake”-able son.

Always a pleasure to run into another member of clan Snark

I forgot what a big deal it was for the Chicks to slag W. back in the day, just how huge and hysterical the backlash was. Ironic, since this is the same crowd who currently lament how political correctness is ruining free speech and society.
