The takeaway from this piece isn't the term "self-partnered" but the fact that you can be a BAFTA recipient, UN goodwill ambassador, and beloved icon of a generation of women and people will still ask if you feel like a failure because you're 30 and not married with kids. https://t.co/pxSPUhWswH

Jesus Christ this is dark: colleges buy low-scoring SAT names from the College Board, and then *encourage students to apply knowing they will reject them* to boost their selectivity rating. One of a million kinds of perfectly legal ways poor people are fucked over every day.

When I was 19 my boss said I should be a phone sex operator & laughed.
I said “I don’t get it”
He said “it’s a joke”
I said “explain it to me”
& that’s how I learned that once sexual harrassers have to explain why their inappropriate jokes are funny, they stop laughing.

There are basically 5 ways to accumulate a billion dollars in America:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) InheritanceNone of these has anything to do with being successful in the supposed free market.

If the Federalist Society is discredited–and it should be–so, alas, is the Supreme Court. Five out of nine members of the Court(Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito) are current or former members. https://t.co/YtV9GVlscg

Waking up & starting a new day has become an interestingly weird process in that you can't quite believe what's happening around you, or, really, work out a convincing explanation of why things got the way they are. Must have been like this in Germany in the 1930s.

I wonder how many Germans in the 1930's said privately, "I don't really like Hitler, but I don't want to be political and offend my friends and business associates who support him."

There are 607 billionaires in America and 327 million of the rest of us.
The only thing stopping us is the percentage of us who fantasize about being rich and famous one day– so we proactively advocate for lower taxes on the rich future version of ourselves.

Sports + Military.
These acts make civilians feel good about the military, but veteran suicides have increased 4 of the last 5 years on record. From 2007-2017, suicide rates among veterans jumped almost 50 percent.
