Fantastic piece. He is spot on. Worth 5 minutes of your time.

Oh sure now he’s the charismatic leader of a pagan gourd cult but in two months he’s gonna be Jesus-shaming everyone about the true meaning of Christmas.

Sally, girl. Chew your leg off. Get yourself free bitch.

OMG. I also have a rule that my kids can cuss by themselves in their rooms as much as they like. Guess “six seven” is being added to the list.

I actually cannot. Nobody can. Not even my own child gets it, but it makes him cringe in agony to hear it coming out of my mouth.

Want to make your tween boy howl with anguish?

Just say, “I love you… six seven.”

What we have seen just this week is more than a sign that he is not well. Does the Constitution doesn't tell us what to do what when the administration won't use the 25th, and Congress and SCOTUS have surrendered their authority? If we have to rebuild democracy, will the next time be more equitable?

Living in this absolutely insane dichotomy where my personal and family life are pretty good, my work life is good, I have wonderful friends who I love, and yet I feel like sobbing every day because I’m so overwhelmed and shocked by what has happened to my country in the last year.

Everyone who carefully constructed obfuscations in politics over the last hundred years must feel like a real dummy. Actually you can call it The Department of Murder. You can post a video of yourself dumping diarrhea on the public. You can go on TV and say "I am stealing from you lol"

When I was younger, I thought one day maybe I'll go to a bar all the time and the bartender will know my order. Never happened. But today the pharmacist looked at me and said, we got your order, hold on. Not the way I imagined this moment at all.

The area is pretty chaotic and can be kinda touristy but it’s also beautiful and historic and you get a feel for what lots of Paris used to be like. And the interior of the church always takes my breath away.

Does seem like there’s a non-zero chance that the shutdown never really ends and that Congress has already abolished itself.

My younger kid was diagnosed with a peanut allergy, and ~with his allergist’s approval~ we gave him tiny pieces of Bamba (Israeli peanut/corn puffs, like Cheetos but with peanut powder). He no longer has peanut allergies!

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

Or keeping one on your body once you learn what it means. Or for being so incurious about a symbol that’s permanently inked on your chest.

I love that we’re all unanimously like “listen that building is not sacred to me and it has a bloody history and if it came down ethically I probably wouldn’t shed a tear, but watching this man smash a wrecking ball into the side of it from sheer selfish malice has unexpectedly fucked me up”

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Definitely have had a work enemy and it’s 10x worse when that person outranks you because then they can throw a stapler at you without consequences
