No one, including Jamelle, should have to suffer this, but the use of single as a denigration is really frustrating. We're not all bad people. But this is what we're reduced to.

it is wild how these people just email me these things while being easily findable. one guy was a thirtysomething realtor out in the midwest. single. no particular distinctions as far as i could tell in his life.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

Purely anecdotal, but my observation is that men who are like "I did some cooking for my family today, here's a photo of my dish" seem like they're mostly pretty happy and men who are like "Men should never cook, frying pans will leech estrogen into your brain" seem like they're never happy.

I continue to feel separated in every meaningful way from people who think this is okay. I’m not sure being their neighbor or their fellow citizen is an achievable or desirable goal.

Donald Trump: "Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I am concerned. He has become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He is not Jewish anymore. He is a Palestinian."

As I’ve often said, the difference between Trump and Vance is that Trump would kill your puppy for money and Vance would pay money to kill your puppy. I hate him so much. The smug “we both know I’m lying, aren’t I a clever boy” aura. Every quality I try to suppress in myself in one man. Fuck him.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Do not engage this man, it's what he wants. Block and move on.

Yes, this is a provocative title. But it's also a fact: I have criticized Democrats more than Trump. And I keep getting asked, why? So I decided to use my column this week to lay out my theory of the case. I think there's a strong argument for focusing inward. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I... do not understand this new construction of masculinity? it's not athletic. it's not stoic. it's not handsome. it's not accomplished. it's never been intellectual. it's just rich white loud dudes on the TV who look like they don't wash their genitals? is that it?

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

We have a responsibility to treat all animals humanely, but man does that go doubly for dogs. Dogs have been at our side while we’ve struggled to forge civilization. They’ve herded our livestock, protected our families, provided us with companionship. They are truly special.

No biggie, just an ancient equivalent of a clay photograph that shows a man walking his dog 3,800 years ago in the city of Borsippa 🥹

I am so gd sick of these people already. If something bad happened at my dinky little job and the most I said was "we're keeping an eye on it", I'd get fired!! You're the second in command of the free world! Have a plan! Why don't you care???
