Awwww besties!

Oh goody.

95% of why I choose a place is the food. The other 5% is whether I will actually be able to hear the people I’m with and not be shoved into someone’s armpit. Very few things matter to me less than “atmosphere.”

I think most of the dragging will be that she did it without ever telling the man (her now husband) that she was pregnant. That never goes over well with the online rabble - even if their current relationship makes clear that it is something they moved on from together

Say what you will about CNN, but their ability to hire women who take no shit and have marvelously expressive “are you fucking kidding me” faces is almost unparalleled.

I’ll see that and raise you a kid who put back a bottle of woolite without screwing the top on securely. A water puddle would have been a blessing.

“Risk of Zika infection likely highest during first trimester” in no way translates to “effects only happen when the mom is infected in the first trimester.”

That's actually absolutely not known.

OMG the guy literally asks him his name. Pence magnanimously offers to take a picture with him (unasked) and the guy asks who he is after he’s been cutting Pence’s hair in front of cameras for 20 minutes.

It’s both. Sometimes you go to them, sometimes someone at the Times will contact you because they heard a story or have a connection. Either way, not worth the grief.

In my head, I know that you’re right. In my heart, I know that I’ll probably banish my child from my house if he comes home with lice.

My face over the course of that went from delight to disgust to horror in such rapid succession that I ended up looking like The Scream.

If the NY Times wants to interview for anything personal, run the other way.

His nickname was David the Rapist. Before this assault even happened.

I wish you’d put his name in the headline as well. If the law won’t give those women justice at least David Becker and Sexual Assault will be inextricably linked in his google results for the rest of his hopefully impotent life.

People who should be sued for malpractice.

If you’re sensitive enough, that outweighs the desire for a megaphone.

Honestly, I know they fly off the handle at dumb things and seem petty about commenters but if they really, truly had thin skins about all this, they would all have quit after a week on the job.

It’s almost unavoidable — but that doesn’t mean you need to court it from particularly brutal arenas.

Anyone who doesn’t have the kind of thick skin that unfortunately comes with being a writer online or a social media person will be wary of a site with a rabid readership and particularly vocal comment section.
