I’m a litigator. Sometimes I’ll do oral argument before the Court and think, “shit, that felt like rambling. I bet I sounded so dumb. I must do better next time.” And then I get the transcript back and I’ve spoken eloquently throughout it. Comparatively, I imagine Palin is like “nailed it” after a speech and then…

My son is 12 years old and he loves Macklemore. I had mixed feelings about him until my son asked me about the first White Privilege song and what it meant. I am so grateful for an opportunity to start an important conversation with my kiddo about our privilege in a way that doesn’t come across as another lecture from…

much better post than the mental gymnastics Greg Howard attempted earlier today

Now I’m kind of curious about a sequel to Sex, Lies and Videotape, now that smartphones are a thing (plus I really love Sex, Lies and Videotape, and think it’s one movie that could warrant a decades-later follow-up).

I think the biggest problem with Macklemore’s sudden rise was that his music was ever considered rap. Sure he raps, but so did Blondie. Thrift Shop and Can’t Hold Us and Same Love were popular in a pop context, in which they are good songs, not in a rap context, in which they are not good. He should have won a bunch…

Ha, I’m OK, really. As I noted above in another comment thread, I grew up with a parent who worked in hospice care, and death was always freely discussed around my household — not as something scary and terrible, but as something to ultimately embrace, because its inevitability makes life sweeter, etc., etc., etc. (I…

You seem like fun.

Now I’m paranoid about Roger Daltrey. They had to cancel their tour because he came down with bacterial meningitis and I haven’t heard any updates in awhile. If he dies too, after David Bowie, I’m going to lose it.

Well, they can all talk to Jesus, so it stands to reason.

This is an armed occupation of a government building! Please tell me in what way this would NOT be considered terrorism when done on American soil. I get it, I might have a skewed opinion being a PoC in America...but why are the kid gloves on when whites do terrible things but non-white get called everything under the…

Listen, the very notion that they’re genuinely “doing” anything is flattering to them. If they were serious about some sort of insurrection against government, they could—would—have picked virtually any other building in North America to start it. They don’t want a fight. They want to get interviewed on Fox News.

Hey, they are the ones stalking her life daily.

I live near Seattle & am seriously considering driving to Portland with my daughter so she can take pictures with hipster Santa.

That's not a Drake approved sweater, that's a Pendelton Westerly, otherwise known as the majestic sweater sported by The Dude in The Big Lebowski.
