In my first year of law practice, one of my friends came into my office, shut the door, and proceeded to tell me the following story:

A seventh-grade reading level and less than four characters per word.

I hate this man. I hate that he says nothing and people keep talking to him regardless. I hate that people will think this is not inappropriate behavior. I hate that this woman’s looks will now determine whether or not she deserves it. I hate that anyone is asking him this morning to chime in on events, but no one has…

I actually did some pretty extensive research into the Kennedy (specifically Eunice’s) involvement in institutional reform for mentally handicapped children (she is afterall the person who started the special olympics) and I walked away uncertain about Joe’s decision to lobotomize Rosemary.

People probably think I’m working for her by now, but Ruth Gordon covers this extensively in How To Be A Victorian. She says her clothing (shoes/stockings on up were all period specific) was actually comfortable and practical for the work she was doing and modern clothing wouldn’t have helped at best and been an…

I just had to Google it: http://historicalsewing.com/how-to-sit-in-…

That is really interesting, but as a reader of Victorian novels, I can’t say that I am surprised that women’s clothes were more practical than we think they were. They certainly were no fools.

I just want to point this out. You know who’s not represented on that stage? Non-blonde women.

Only now, watching this trailer with no sound, do I realize my life will be incomplete until they cast Ellie Kemper in a Squirrel Girl movie.

Women want to go there because as unpleasant as it sounds, those clubs can be unofficial funnels to lucrative jobs after graduation. Whether you call it networking or nepotism, who you know can have a huge impact on your career.

This gives me life and hope. This is the kind of Democrats we want in office. Ones who will know when they're being played and fucking fight tooth and nail for what is right.

The cop told the friend about the knife and said he was getting it framed to put on his wall.

Before people start in on knowing how much they make before I made it my major, shut the fuck up.

As a teacher, I can’t see any possible outcome in which teachers aren’t blamed for not doing stuff right. If you shoot the attackers, you turn against some of the kids you teach. If you don’t shoot them, you fail to protect your students. If you didn't bring your gun of great justice to school that day, you're…

I wonders if he remembers that there was an armed security at Columbine during the shooting. The guard did not stop it despite his gun. Amazing, huh?

Number one, they’re shaped like girls, unlike Barbies (which, of course you must also be anti-Barbie, right?). Second, of course you can play with them! Anything you can do with any other doll you can do with these. They’re plastic, not porcelain. I have fond memories of building things for them, making new clothes…

I think it’ll start in 1964, (Felicity was 1774, Samantha 1904... I think they have a thing with years ending in 4).

I’m a huge fan of her hair, and I think the Motown focus is a great way to emphasize Detroit’s cultural heritage. But it also makes me think the focus will be the early 1960s, I.e before the Detroit riots of 1967. I’ll also be interested to see if the books address redlining and school segregation in Detroit in any…
