I think you are running some place with my comments to end that I wasn’t proposing. I think the idea I was attempting to communicate and perhaps poorly is that I think people lean too hard in the narrative that ‘if only Clinton was President’ that things wouldn’t be this terrible. They wouldn’t be a Trump flavor of

I guessss I mean....

With the stories about the Manchester bombing and people like Sean hannity, I think for my own sanity, I might go on a media blackout.

There is a 0% chance that 45 doesn’t say something totally insane, even for him, on this trip. It is going to be long, boring, and he won’t be able to go golfing. He is going to be grouchy as a baby on a roadtrip with a dirty diaper.

I think there is a strong psychological element to it as well. Like, you live paycheck to paycheck, 99% of your income goes to paying for bills and/or debt and paying for the basic necessities of life. You cut back as much as you can and the scant little bit of money you have left over after everything else is go,

Coworker: I just don’t  get why they are making stuff up and wasting everyone’s time about stupid Russia!

I had a very lovely lunch at Taco Bell today with my very conservative law partner. He listens to conservative talk radio all day and keeps up on current events with Fox News. They just parrot the talking points that paint the current administration in as favorable a light as they can. He did mention that he feels

I woke up to about 9 text messages about Chris Cornell. Not the news I was expecting to kick off my day...I never got the chance to see Soundgarden, but I did see Audioslave in ‘06 with my cousins, and it remains one of my fav concert experiences. We were soooo close the stage, and Chris was such a great frontman and

God damn it. I saw Sound Garden less than 2 weeks ago and they were great. Chris Cornell sounded awesome and he just seemed like a good guy compared to some of the other “rock stars” at this festival. This one is rough. RIP

I’m morbidly curious about what it would be like to turn the news off for a month, then jump back in.

Jones isn’t cultured enough to appreciate good yogurt.

Or how about how it’s unprofessional and just plain GROSS for a person in a superior position to encourage or even accept advances from a student or younger person in an academic/professiona/just about any setting. Not! Appropriate!

I suppose a professor could pressure a student to drink. Still, there’s the sinister implication that if a professor could, he’d want to. Why exactly? Oh right—so that he could force her into sex.

MAMP and her friend need to socialize without the husbands. Why on earth should the two men be cajoled or blackmailed into spending time in a way they dislike because the two wives are friends.

Serious question, what are wypipo supposed to do in a situation like this? Not say anything publicly? I feel like our reaction to this comes off as hating. She’s critical of white supremacy, she points out a contradiction and I’d never heard of this story until you reported it, now I want to know how Colgate is going

I don’t know what it is, I like to think I’m down and listen to the cool tunes, but I could never pay full price for pre-ripped clothes. I just can’t, it feels like I’m willingly getting ripped off. It’s not that I wouldn’t wear ripped jeans out in public, I like the style, I just can’t buy them new.
