The civil trial, covering the church’s heinous response to the Masterson allegations, is scheduled to resume in October (it was put on hold while the criminal trial played out).

“…I also understand that we cannot be assholes to women,” Mace told Bash

We are all interested in this place.

I always found it odd when republican politicians, like Sarah Palin, would gripe about “gotchya” questions. Like, excuse me, but becoming president means having to answer even more difficult questions without resorting to such antics much less over one coming from a 15 y/o boy.

He’s not apologizing for asking the question, he’s decently apologizing for the media furor it caused, because all he wanted was an answer, not to become the story. That DeSantis’ team then Streisand-ed the situation is not his fault.

Forcing people to travel north via undergound means has historically always been Good Guy behavior.

Feeling guilty here. I used to mock Celine Dion when I first became aware of her in the ‘90s. Too dramatic, too haughty, too un-self aware for this cynic here. I don’t know if it was her opening up or me just maturing, but at some point I realized that she actually has a great sense of humor and self-awareness and…

Did you need a sarcasm tag? Okay, here it is.

I interviewed for a production position on a reality show following a famous YouTube family who made a zillion clips of their ‘incredibly fun’ lifestyle and ‘unboxing’ and all that crap.

“Parental rights,” y’all!

This is the horrifying state of affairs in the U.S. I am a faculty member and used to teach at a Big Name Public University. I taught lecture courses of 240-500 people in ginormous lecture halls with multiple entrances. Luckily for most rooms we could lock the doors so people couldn’t enter, but we could still exit. I…

My niece started her freshman year at UNC-CH last week and was on lockdown yesterday. My nephew/her brother is a junior at UNC-W and they were both in lockdown a few years ago at school just north of Wilmington. I have another niece who started high school today and my son starts middle school tomorrow. I know nobody…

Over 25,000 Americans have died from gun violence so far THIS YEAR. That’s about 118 EVERY DAY.
