That is GENIUS. If this bill actually passes (which God I hope not because are you fucking kidding me), I hope there is an underground movement to do that.

Is there anything keeping women from just naming whoever they want on the birth certificate? I assume some random dude’s name will become the paternity equivalent of telling sales people your phone number is 867 5309.

There’s a throw away moment in the movie Election when Broderick moves to NY and it cuts to him in this shitty apartment where kitchen/bed/bath are in one room and then flashes that the rent is something like $1,500. It is clearly supposed to be a funny gag (and it is) — but I saw it in Manhattan and everyone just…

I love her completely unabashedly.

“It’s really no different than Nazi Germany,” she said. “The only difference is that we don’t have a number on our arms.”

It’s ridiculous that they pulled it, but I appreciate that, while they completely back tracked and sacrificed any integrity they had, they managed to throw in a little shade at the absurdity of the protest.

It’s laziness really. Not taking time to care about their appearance.

You know Kris went and stocked that kitchen with all of Rob’s favorite foods and now he’s out there trying to look cool and independent, pretending he doesn’t know why she would give him fancy pita.

OK, Melania, I’m sure that being able to afford to fly back to your home country to restamp your visa and then return to be welcomed back into the US with open arms is totally because you followed the law and not at all because of how you look and what you were doing for a living. That’s definitely the kind of…

That is hilarious (my mistake, not the fact) and thank you for sharing that. I’m not sure why I chose Arkansas as the landmark white state to use but teach me to run my mouth off without doing my research.

Bobby, you are the Tara Jacoby of weird videos and gifs.

There is no such thing as a visibly black person being raised white in America. Racism is inescapable and it doesn’t matter if you grow up in lily white Arkansas or Bed-Stuy, you are black. Ben Carson can shut the fuck up about everything. Forever.

I think it’s so funny when he defends himself against accusations of bankruptcy by saying “I personally never went bankrupt.” Which...ok dude bully for fucking you but I don’t care about your personal bank account I care what happens to the corporations you are in charge of (like, hypothetically, the United States).

I apologize, in turn, if I seemed unnecessarily snippy. I meant to point out that not all horrible behaviors are indicative of personality disorders, not to imply that personality disorders are not a thing. I thought you were suggesting that I did the latter and balked. But cheers to agreeing on the internet, then.

As Julianne mentioned, you have literally no idea if his behavior is performative to drum up controversy or a sign of mental illness. Unless you know him personally, I have no idea why you would presume to say it is clinical in his case.

Yes, I know personality disorders are a legitimate mental illness (and a particular severe and frequently intractable one, in many cases).

Armchair diagnosis is dumb on like a dozen different levels I could name without taking a beat, but what I find most interesting is how quick people jumped to mental illness here when sometimes people are just egotistical assholes (I guess that’s a reflection of the destigmatization of discussing mental illness, if…

Are you on the right website?

Obviously it was a reference to the Berliner quote. But if it was about the diversity of the jury it was a jackass thing to say. If it was because all cultures originated in Africa, it wasn’t. The latter was the case.

Oh, OK, that makes much more sense. I didn’t realize we were talking about Taylor.
