I understand that jury duty can be inconvenient and that the payoff isn’t going to replace a day of labor for most folks, but it’s a very important thing. It guarantees your Sixth and Seventh Amendment rights and helps your peers.

Teaching about the jury today and reading “Why Jury Duty Matters” again.

There’s a lot of fucked up shit going on right now, but this is fucked. Attacking people in places of worship should absolutely be off the table. And waiting outside places of worship to nab them after services on one of their holiest days is a level beyond demonic that I can’t even identify.

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.

Right, so South Americans are navigating the Darién Gap, or the the tiny boats that occasionally ferry people around the Gap, with livestock? Whole-ass cattle? A number of cows large enough to cut into the American market?
Cool. Well done, South Americans (pun only sort of intended).

I'm gonna say something controversial but... I miss cable. I miss being able to put a channel on the TV and have it change shows. Even the commercials for some reason I miss. Like im missing out on society.

Official Trump social media accounts have been using The Life of a Showgirl snippets to promote his agenda. Why has Swift, who once wanted ‘to be on the right side of history’, said nothing?

The worst thing about Jacob Bernstein is not that his fit sucks, which it does (let me count the ways). The worst thing is that he’s Nora Ephron’s son. The same (beloved) Nora Ephron who was cheated on by her husband/his father, Carl Bernstein. And now he’s glorifying another extramarital affair.
