All these jerks and rich pricks who say they'll move out of New York if they don't get their wish, they wouldn't know how to live anywhere else. Lose their status as Very Important People in NYC? Lose that smug air of superiority? Pleeeeeeez.
CNN is going to have Ben Shapiro on? Please tell me there's a better option.
Is there a channel I can watch for election coverage that won't make me throw something at the screen?
Where possible, start new and better versions of the things ruined by evil men.
They just left. My giddy aunt, I could never work in an office again.
I’m especially sensitive to this after hearing several men say recently that women are too chatty.
I wonder if they ever in their lives allow two consecutive seconds to pass in silence. This is nonstop. There’s never a pause to let either guy drink his coffee. It’s a little scary. What was I thinking leaving my apartment.
“Yep. Yep. Yep. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Mmhmm. Yeah. Oh yeah.”

All in less than five seconds.

I need less coffee.
I said "I promise this is true" because it probably sounds a little like that story everyone was telling in the early '80s about knowing a girl who supposedly asked, "Was Paul McCartney in any bands before Wings?"

Sometime after "Mask," "Silkwood" and "The Witches of Eastwick" had come and gone, and between “Suspect" and "Moonstruck," I overheard two teen girls talking as they looked at albums in a Musicland.

“Cher SINGS?" one of them yelled to the other.
I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”
Same! And I still buy it sometimes!
It’s a thing of beauty as long as your foot doesn’t come off the base and you get tagged out.
It brings me joy to discuss baseball with you.
Opinions on such things are deeply personal. I usually think one-size-fits-all declarations can do as much harm as the thing a person is trying to prevent.

I'll refrain from commenting about a trans woman I don't know.

I will say that being deadnamed and misgendered never goes away, and it hurts.

When a white man is murdered by a white man we need to “come together” and make sure we show our humanity

But when a Black man is murdered by a white man we know his 4th grade baking soda volcano didn’t erupt, he had a jaywalking ticket, and oh yeah let’s call him a thug who deserved it.
