It's always fascinating, the degree to which they use the verb "help." We don't need "help" with household tasks; we need shared responsibility. Easy peasy.
@joshuamckerrow
Josh, thanks for this bittersweet loveliness.We’re buying some ornaments tomorrow to replace some lost or broken thru the years. We’ll buy one at our local League of State artists, in memory of Wendi & in honor of you, your colleagues & your steadfastness.

had been thru about six time zones between beginning that week in Normandy for D-Day, ending in LA. Time zones, allies, G-7, etc. Donalds is increasingly craven—totally unsurprising in his fervent servitude. Maybe someday he'll be capable of shame.
@Daps_95
After my dad died, I dev’d a weird stutter. Made me afraid to speak much. Then-boss, a notorious tyrant in mag biz, called me into her office, cried w/me, offered both her shrink & her own anti-anxiety meds & an offer to work fr home for awhile. Took abt 3 mo. Kindest gift ever.
@AITA_online
Yep. And if the little boy was in the car when you were scolding dad, AITA x2. You don’t sound ready to marry a man who’s happy to be a fool for his kid on a special bday. Family therapy or pack up.

Talk about a chilling effect on science/tech courses, history and writing courses. Pre-med? Pre-law? Is there a journalism major there? Because facts are sticky/intractable.

I actually exhaled when I read this. She WAS right. Most of us didn’t know what we knew, but we knew *something* and every day now, the skeins straighten out and Shazam, there it is. The very crowded thru line from Ken Starr to Kavanaugh & Trump is, to put it mildly, terrifying.
@Daps_95
I neglected to say her name. Frances Lear, doyenne of doyennes, who loved & created with a fierceness. Capable of howling storms, hilarity that made people fall down laughing, neck-snapping mood changes and extraordinary acts of kindness. RIP, your royal majesty. FL 1923-1996

The brilliant pantsuit lady, who endured an 11-hr Benghazi hearing w/out breaking a sweat. She knew it, she predicted it, she was right, and it shoulda been her the whole damn time. Grrrrrr
@phuzzykins
Exactly. It’s not about Liza belting—it’s Nazis, compliant citizens realizing that their Jewish neighbors are disappearing, plus the horror of “Tomorrow Belongs To Me.” Encroaching virulence.
@sewistwrites
If I'm the older woman, I'm going back an aisle or two and getting him the car because someone did that for my kid once, in the NYC Toys are Us, which was always bedlam. She came up to me (kept "teeny car" in her pocket) and asked first. Bless her wherever she is today!
I’m sure she’s losing sleep abt your whining abt a foul-mouthed, foul-behaviored, lying con who just sent thousands of Kurds to torturous deaths. You are NOT Christ’s emissary on earth, so step the hell away from the lectern.
And stop this random capitalizing🙄
@RoobsC
Luckily, only a couple of bad years.
Watered-down milk. Half-price old bread. Local
eggs were cheap, so lots of omelettes.
Power shut off a couple of times.
Furnace oil didn't come one winter until late Feb.
Parental tension: high.
Much harder on the parents, tho, than on us.
@LadyTrashBag
And she never jailed ONE SINGLE PARENT over the issue of truancy of poor kids. It was an opportunity to address a real crisis that had decades of harm ahead of it, and she took it on. No poor Black parent of a chronically truant kid ever went to lockup.
@JoshuaPotash
Nobody's leaving them—in fact, they currently are 90% of the occupants of hospital ERs and ICUs. , driving staff and docs to exhaustion and grief after TWO YEARS. There are breakthroughs for the vaxxed, but they don't put us in hospitals or vents or cemeteries. Be smarter.

The funniest thing my son did, at three, was walk in on his dad and me having sex (it was maybe 6 a.m.). “When you’re thru with what you’re doing, can I have some Cheerios?”

@beyondreasdoubt
I'm older than dirt and have had a great many bad days, including a virus death/loss last week. But I have never, on my worst white-lady days, called the cops on a black man who made a reasonable request based on signage, nor lied about his intentions to stalk or harm me. STFU.
@VanityFair
People ARE dying. Anybody tell him yet?
Obviously his family is one of the ones who got outta town to the country place. Bring 'em home, dude—send the kids to school, go to Whole Foods w/out a mask, ride the subway, don't flinch when someone sneezes on you in the elevator. Yep.

I'd have preferred "My actions were unwarranted, cruel and unnecessarily punitive. I have tendered my resignation to the principal, effective immediately."
He's focusing on the student's response, it's the equivalent of "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings."
@nowthisnews
Three times, one with "I'm giving you permission." The little guy waited. He knew in his gut it was a setup. This is not a lawful peace officer, he's a potentially murderous thug. His target got bounced down to the sidewalk like he was nothing but a bug. Lawsuit for days, I hope.

This is where the seatbelt/speed limit analogies really work—the vaccine won’t prevent disease, because accidents happen—but they’ll lessen the chance of hospitalization and death. The diabetic kid might’ve had a fighting chance. Whereas defiance killed him 😣
@GregoryMcKelvey
Gregory—I can’t fix what’s behind you but I can pray for what’s ahead: A family that loves& respects you. A companion who loves & defends you. Maybe a child who adores you & takes your hand to safely cross the street. Knowledge that you survived and that you’re a good man.

Fast food workers continued all thru the pandemic—yeah, I know it was a decision of their corporate overlords, but damn, their employees in NO WAY deserve abuse.

That's abusive, plain/simple. Next will be shoes. Probably no second car.
Hated this movie.ey in a 2ndd account, and "work colleagues" who occasionally require "meetings" or "working overtime."

@tuohey_alice
As a military brat, "Dad's got orders" was the scariest sentence. Eleven moves before I was 16. (5 kid). In addn to a weakened force and blocked promotions, *thousands* of families are on edge: Where/when are we going? housing? schools? spousal job?
Tuberville's made a mess.
@KirstenPowers
I was a single mom for ten years after my divorce. We most certainly were NOT "broken." My ex was involved in my son's life, we were cooperative more often than not, there were four grandparents and aunts and uncles and NOBODY WAS FECKIN' BROKEN. Hate this lazy judgy terminology.

I think you're confusing Catholic doctrine with the Romans. I mean, you appear to likely have been fine with crucifixion.
And you wonder why the ranks of the faithful are shrinking...

Yeah, Walter Cronkite, do not tear up when a president is assassinated. And you, Dan Rather, how dare you show anger about atrocities in Vietnam. And all you folks who got weepy when the Challenger exploded, stop that human crap, and don't even get me going on kids in cages.
@KTMartin25
@DrJenGunter
I'm sick of a cult religion presuming to know my ancestors, who they were, what they believed or practiced, what they wanted, or what they might want now. It's arrogant, and NOTHING to do with spiritual beliefs.
Step off. Mind your own weird business and leave my people alone.

@PettyLupone
You're not a president. And you're arguing, w/people you don't know, who don't know you, and justifiably view you as a planted, paid-off spoiler. You've said nothing to disabuse anyone of that opinion. Being younger than
@POTUS
is not a qualifier for being president—so's Trump.
@frankthorp
The idea that this one old white man, who’s never served in the military (or held any elected office before this one) basically holding the entire military hostage (including families) is ludicrous. Prideful. Arrogant.
He’s lucky USMC Commandant Smith didn’t die.
@jbendery
Fauci said (in April, maybe?) that it'd be 18 months to two years--because he always factored in the time that vaccine trials take before they're widely available. It looks more and more like his timeline.
@emmaogreen
That’s garbage. Less than half the country is vaxxed and many will never be. My grandmother wore her Influenza masks for two long years, to protect her family. That’s not neurosis, it was love and common sense. Asians wear masks ALL the time due to pollution. Be serious.
@bdk1521
Patti Lupone once stopped in mid-performance, walked into audience, and grabbed a woman’s phone right out if her hand. A front/row texter. The audience cheered. Miranda Lambert, Hugh Jackman, & the leader of the Philadelphia Orchestra have stopped mid-show & scolded audiences.
@88mugsy88
That's:
1. Profound social anxiety
2. Longheld anger/rage/hatred of family
3. A baller move we would all like access to once

The DNC didn't vote for Biden in the primaries; voters did. You can defy or dislike the DNC all you want, but please have some respect for thousands of people who turned out and actually voted for the nominee that they wanted.

Won’t ever forget his patience/kindness at stage door after that show. Hot nite—he wore bermudas & a faded polo shirt, signed everything, talked to everyone. Same at “Cherry Orchard” at BAM in ‘88. So sorry for your loss, and that you didn’t get to have a proper Irish send off 💔

OMG. No. This is either a bunch of feral babies or an extremely angry adult. If an animal (dog or a cat), the little one wd be running a temp (or even dead); a forensic exam by a doc RIGHT NOW cd disprove that ast. There'd be DNA or hair/nail fiber in the cuts. Doc, quick.

How those who champion him can see him as anything but a deliberate murderer, I don't get it. An illegal gun, his FB posts and so much more. How is this not Dylann Roof all over again?
@WendellPierce
Oh, this is not OK (none of them have been, but this one, just no). So elegant, and in every scene, he was the energy center, even when some actors might've had it otherwise. Authority, grace, and sometimes a twinkle (depending, of course).
So very sorry you lost your friend.💔

One of the offensively hilarious issues abt all this is that teen girls' cycles are notoriously wack—rarely the same time, length or severity. This is often esp true for athletes. My SIL, a HS and college competitive runner, (no body fat) never had the same schedule or details.

Can't break her. She's there because of every challenge she's already met. before. She has a finer resume than almost everyone on the court. She's thoughtful (her trial sentences prove that). Their evil is transparent. If theater is "a controlled freefall," then she's all set!

Please be a terrific actor, willing to work under all conditions for not a lot of money, and by the way, in your personal life: first, don't have one and; second, don't express your opinions, even humorously.

Just so we're clear: calling YOU out on your idiocy is one thing. Calling out the President for targeting a Muslim member of a co-equal branch of govt (using 9/11 images to do it)—a calculated act of violence & provocation—is very different. Your inability to see that is telling.

If you keep delivering good news stories (that aren’t one bit saccharine), you just might make a considerable healthy dent in cynicism, weariness and distrust. 💙
