I've spent a lot of holidays on my own. And I've definitely been the guy who had to work while all my fellow employees have been off with their families. So if you're working or alone this holiday, much love to you. May the day treat you well, pass quickly, and be devoid of assholes. Love you guys.

I can’t help thinking that things would be less screwed up if Olivia Nuzzi had gone to therapy for her daddy issues instead of having sex with old, creepy men.

It’s time for a lot of people to wrestle with the fact that bad actors aren’t doing these things because they’re being blackmailed or bribed but because they are benefitting financially and they haven’t dealt with their own shit so they are perpetually destroying everything.
