I’m so glad someone else doesn’t like her. I was beginning to feel all alone. She is SO smug.

You fucking bastard. There is not one single mention of Homeowners Associations on this entire goddamn list.

I have girded (gird? begird?) my loins for the reaction to this comment: I don’t read the toast bc Ortberg is annoying on Twitter. Shallow, I know. I know!

really really can’t believe someone as modest and reluctant to act like she knows best as mallory ortberg found some reason to dislike someone, seems crazy

I’ve been a stay-at-home dad since my second daughter was born. She just turned nine and has an older sister who will be 12 in July. My wife was a mental health counselor (now a school guidance counselor) and I had a consulting and accounting background with a lucrative side income playing online poker.

While initially horrified, I’m no longer opposed to it. The “wife bonus” actually seems to be a way to blunt the dramatic wealth disparity within the household itself. These women all had to sign pre-nups or post-nups, and it is these agreements that ensure that the husband will accumulate millions, and the wife will…

If they’d had a black member of the frat, he would most certainly have been hazed using the racial slurs the frat was very comfortable throwing out, and that news would certainly have gotten back to University officials, likely resulting in the suspension or expulsion of the fraternity from the college.

Not that it matters, but SAE was not the only fraternity founded pre-Civil War. There are several that even preceded it.

This whole article made me cringe, mouth agape at the brutal racism and subsequent cover ups and finger pointing by chapters/national/uni officials. But this is what got a squeak out of me:

Okay, more constructive...

Our alumni threatened to withdraw support because we had to many gay men in our fraternity, and we wanted to do a Drag Show fundraiser.

I know this doesn’t play, with most people coming down in either the “Fraternities/Sororities should all be abolished and the earth salted” or the “#NotAllGreeks 100% awesome experiences blah blah blah” the letter writer makes fun of. But, I really think for most people it’s in the middle.

My fraternity and school was southern and made originally by a bunch of white guys, but some in my chapter were black and some were gay. Some were rednecks, some were city boys, some were nerds, some were jocks. What led to me this group was a small school with a huge turnover rate. Not much stuff to do other than go…

I did the same thing while making stuffed jalapeños. I put my dick in a bowl of milk. I think it worked, the many, many beers certainly helped.

“There’s a section, maybe around chapter 13 or so where, instead of just mentioning what’s happening in general, I highlight named individuals who share these photoshopped images or racist jokes.”

I'll say this for the Strawberry - some years it's transcendent, and some years it's meh. It's because they use actual, honest to God strawberries as opposed to some chemical extract. So I tolerate the down years because that's admirable (IMHO).

Dammit. The official fruit beer of April/May is actually Abita Strawberry, because that is the only time it's available! The rest of the year, it's Purple Haze.

Debi’s show is great tho! And didn’t she do a crossover with that cool vintage clothing show where she got dresses for a party her hubs was throwing. She’s great. Such a ham! Her husband is just charming enough but also you can tell she’s the life of the party that is their life.

Oh, the crunch enhancer?

This is why I never think the common "I cook, you clean" division is fair. It disincentivises the cook from cleaning as they go, or making efficient use of pots and pans. In my house, whoever cooks also has to clean, but we trade off. And my "clean as you cook" game is super tight now.
