“These people have awful names.”

Somewhere, people are having sex without Ross Douthat’s permission. And he will funnel his rage over this situation into milquetoast bleating about morals and sin and be so very concerned.

***Kind of stole the tenor of this joke from Charlie Pierce***

Oh come on, his column couldn’t have been that ba...

Honestly who the fuck cares what opinion writers think? You’re lumping a bunch of calcified hacks in with actual reporters, who are doing incredible and vital work. The NYT has flaws, obviously, but slandering their reporters with the work of their opinion journalists isn’t fair to the people doing actual work.

The dumbest part of the movie. Didn’t make a lick of sense. but then I figured she probably should be supervised herself. Her own issues caused that.

In my revenge fantasy for the movie characters, she is SO happy with a fabulous man who loves her and her kids, and he is in a sad bachelor’s apartment with fake wood paneling watching reruns of Hoarders on A&E (do they have A&E in the UK?) in his underwear. Because that chick he gave the necklace to dumped his ass…

I can’t wait, even if it is only 20 minutes! I love every shameless moment of this movie (except the woman played by Laura Linney; that whole self-sacrifice thing was ridiculous! She couldn’t not go see her brother for one night? She couldn’t have finished before she went, at least? I mean he was on top of her when…

This is the part that people who are all about school choice don’t get: private schools don’t effect your housing price as much as the state of public schools.

Income and racial inequalities affect learning and access to educational opportunities. So many of us know this and can see it in our classrooms.

This is a huge deal locally. Our daughter goes to a magnet program for performing arts, but it’s largely unknown what would even become of the magnet programs.

Good for the Kentucky’s republican party. Why even bother with the pretense at this point, right? Man these next four years are going to be fascinating. 

Well, I think these things can be a spectrum. I feel like most Americans have a dysfunctional relationship with food, but not all of them necessarily have a full-blown disorder.

Credit should be given where it’s due. It was Obama-era. Not Trump-era. Period. Further, Trump has shown nothing if not an utter lack of sophistication or even cursory understanding of how government works. This is way beyond his skill set, and beyond anything he has shown to care about. If it’s not a money maker or a…

But it’s a fact, so I don’t see what the problem is.

Wow.

I’ve known a few couples who have known from their first meeting that they would get married. What I’ve realized is that a successful relationship is not dependent on how people meet or the intensity of their feelings for one another in the beginning. It’s the daily choice to love the other person which is what…

Only gonna say this ‘cause I didn’t learn until I was 22 and it caused me a lot of grief:

‘Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never…
