It got it, around the time of that incident. From OG Jez Anna Holmes:

I’m really enjoying this collection of Bobby’s elaborate celebrity fever dreams. I feel like we’re learning a lot about you today.

Actually, I’d make the opposite argument, on pure literary merits. Try reading it out loud both ways. If you say “false” first, it gets buried in a string of other adjectives. If you say it this way, it builds from their mildest to their strongest, with “false” as the big finale. The kicker, as a j-school professor…

Yuck. I’ve never given birth, but I think in this case I might actually prefer a headphone cord to some nasty old sneaker lace that’s been kicking around the streets of NYC for a few years. Can’t see much benefit in introducing something that spends so much time in proximity to rat feces into that environment. Maybe…

I mean, listen, man, you don’t have to tell me. I have no trouble figuring out the right thing to do here. I’m not even gonna see Star Wars. I’m just explaining the issue as I’ve seen it play out.

As imaginary co-author of “If You’re Gonna Throw Your Life Away, He Better Have a Motorcycle, And Other Life Lessons From Lorelai Gilmore,” I take offense at this.

Because after seeing Star Wars, nerds have to TALK TALK TALK TALK TALK on the internet about Star Wars and also in person about Star Wars and to themselves about Star Wars and then they have to go see it AGAIN and it’s like a whole process.

How has no one responded to this? What the fuck? Is your wife black or...I mean, there is so much wrong with that that I don’t think it matters.

Well, yikes, and yes, I have never taught. I am able to speak on principle because I don’t happen to deal with the reality every day, and obviously while it is structurally good, in the moment it is not great. I guess I am just a wee bit nostalgic for the time when thinking you were getting a day off from school and…

I mean...part of being a kid in a civilized society is having the freedom to be a little oblivious. I don’t like the noblesse oblige of looking at some impoverished/morally backward society and doing the whole “you know, they really APPRECIATE what they have and take pleasure in the right things.” I want every child…

Ugh, I used to work for a guy that did this for bonuses. I say a guy because even thought it was a good-sized company, it was privately owned and this initiative came directly from him—he thought it was AWESOME. Anyone in corporate (mostly men) got bonuses in their paycheck. Anyone on staff (mostly women) got to go to…

Never go with a Republican to a second location.

I put all of mine in an app called “Photo Vault” which is password-protected by a different password than the one I use on my phone. I keep it in an innocuous folder marked “Photography” with all my other photo-editing apps. Even on the rare occasions that I’ve opened that folder in front of someone (for instance, to…

Unfortunately, as anyone who has any experience with workplace sexual harassment can tell you, companies don’t take action after a single incident, especially because what she described was horrible, uncomfortable, inappropriate, and scary, but not really criminal. It sounds like this Fires refused to work with Deen…

My initial reaction was “oh please, that’s what you WANT us to think” followed by a close reading of the caption, which only specifically mentions the monkey bread. I believe it is entirely possible that Khloe made her own monkey bread, especially if her video team prepped everything in advance for her like you do on…

Hahah I know it was still sitting very high up on my bookshelf when I left for college. My parents retired the same year I graduated and made a lot of executive decisions while packing up the house, so best case, it went on to haunt some other innocent child’s home. His doesn’t work in the sense that it no longer…

I was really too old for it (I was 13 the year it came out) but my parents seemed to be enjoying one last year of me being enthusiastic about an actual TOY, and my little brother genuinely wanted one so they just got two. I’m allergic to cats and dogs and I think I thought it would be like, an actual pet, so…

Ooohhhh my god my brother totally had this!! Forgot all about it, but that smell—you’re totally right. We both liked it, although I wouldn’t say I was into bugs. I was mainly bothered by his unwillingness to go along with my carefully-conceived design schemes, as he generally would interrupt my careful layering of…

Your family sounds AMAZING. I don’t know what my parents did with mine, but my brother still has his—it made it 2,500 miles across the country to my parents’ new home when they retired, even. He likes to leave it on the pillow next to me when I’m sleeping while we’re home for the holidays, because that really is what…

You know what they say...just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean everyone isn’t out to get you!
