25 years ago, my husband was in a theater group that created this show, and for twenty-five years it’s kicked around in development, shepherded by our friends, Erin and Jay (the crushingly awesome playwrights). If you’re anywhere near Chicago this summer and you can get a ticket… go. GO! Just go.

Your prayers aren’t working, Mikey, because you’re not a very good Christian. Also, your “thoughts” seem more concerned with protecting people who rape kids, rather than preventing them from getting shot.

And after he’s done addressing that, can he also talk to the country about the suppressed evidence that he raped and beat a little girl?

Gosh, the @nytimes.com really sounds nostalgic for the good ol' days when rich people could rape with impunity....

But how does the CEO of Warby Parker want us to vote?!? I don’t know who writes these ridiculous headlines, and why the Times has abandoned its post as the “Paper of Record.” Put if print is dead, it’s only because you’re torturing it in a basement somewhere.

Remember that time, about 20 years ago when Diane Keaton and Johnny Depp used to show up at awards ceremonies wearing exactly the same outfit?

I don’t like cats. I am allergic to cats. But our feral yard cat, Bella, is the only one who will hang out with me by the fire pit right now. I love her.

I’m not a billionaire corporate oligarch, but I employ people. And I look at where they were educated before I decide to hire them. Ahem.

At what point do we adopt the phrase, "Tax-and-Spend Conservatives?"

This is HORRIBLE. Between global warming, war, terrorism, white christian nationalism, gutting social security and medicare, shifting the tax burden to working and middle-class families, cancellation of my favorite streaming show, and the existence of Florida...we now have to deal with this?!?

Interestingly, this @nytimes.com article doesn't list "New Yorkers don't think it's important to vote the same way the CEO of Warby Parker" as one of the takeaways. Maybe they'll learn some other way...

Not to pile on to the complaints about NYTimes headlines, but … I’m going to pile on. Averting a government shutdown, or giving Trump a blank check to rape and pillage?
