Look, the single animating principle of everything Ryan did and proposed was to comfort the comfortable while afflicting the afflicted. Can anyone name a single instance in which his supposed concern about the deficit made him willing to impose any burden on the wealthy, in which his supposed compassion made him willing to improve the lives of the poor?
Can’t name one. Ryan was simply a failure and a coward. He won’t be missed.
Wendy Mogel asks, “Should We Speak to Little Boys as We Do Little Dogs?”:
My question to the parents in my office is this: What percentage of your communication with your son consists of nagging, reminding, chastising or yelling? “Uh … 90 percent, 100?” Which I know isn’t true, just as confidently as I know these boys aren’t mentally ill and these families aren’t rife with hidden dysfunction.
I do it 110 percent with my boys and they still don’t listen. I even feel annoyed at myself for keep repeating it. For instance, I told Đán not to lean over his chair every time we have dinner. The other day, I was so fed up that I didn’t remind him. He fell off and hurt himself. He cried and blamed on me for not reminding him even though I told him so so many times. Our dining table and chairs are higher than the usual set because I did not think about kids when we bought them.
For Đạo, no matter how many times we asked him not to bring toys on the dinning table, he does it every time. We have to ask him to put them away every time. I told my wife, I am getting tired of getting to get out of bed, to brush their teeth, and to put on their clothes. If we don’t remind them they wouldn’t do it on their own. I guess they’ll be ready whenever they are ready.
Mogel advises:
Shower your son with the easy affection, appreciation and tolerance you show your dog.
I never have dog; therefore, I wouldn’t know how to appreciate and tolerate dog.
Steven Heller publishes books like we write blog posts. He churns out one after another. In collaborating with Greg D’Onofrio, Heller published a thick, heavy book on modern graphic designers whose work changed visual communications in the mid-twentieth century. The book showcases over 900 illustrations ranging from vibrant colors to bold typographic treatments. Sixty three designers featured, yet only nine were women. Despite the lack of diversity, it is worth flipping through and learn about the people behind the iconic designs.
Paul Ryan won’t run for re-election because he sucks at his job and he knows it. His tax bill is a disaster and his cowardice—not standing up to Trump—puts this country in danger. Republican needs strong leaders like Rod Rosenstein and Robert Mueller who put country over career and party. Unfortunately, Ryan is not one of them. He will be remember as an NRA puppet and a boneless chicken. Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio should join him as well. These useless swamps need to be drained.
Dựa theo lời kể của ông Trịnh Văn Sỹ, nhà thơ Nguyễn Quang Thiều viết lại những ký ức về gia đình, nhất là người mẹ và người chị của ông Sỹ. Mẹ ông mồ côi cha mẹ từ nhỏ. Đến khi lấy chồng, bà trở thành vợ lẽ thứ ba. Sau khi bỏ chồng ra đi (vì không sinh cho ông được đứa con nào) và sau khi biết chồng mất, bà lấy chồng thứ hai nhưng lại làm vợ thứ ba. Sau khi chồng chết, bà ở vậy nuôi hai đứa con và mẹ chồng. Cuộc đời bà khổ sở từ lúc mười lăm tuổi. Đến khi bà mất, hai chị em vẫn còn nhỏ. Người chị thay thế mẹ vất vả nuôi em đi học. Những câu chuyện trong ngôi nhà của mẹ giản dị và chân thật. Tuy những ngày tháng sống khó khăn vì thiếu thốn nhưng rất tình nghĩa. Cách viết của ông Thiều cảm động nhưng không não nề. Tuy nhiên quyển sách hơi dài.
Rod Rosenstein will be on campus next week for an interview and Q&A with Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg. I was asked to design the email invitation. I have no idea what they will be talking about, but I have signed up to be there.
Since Rosenstein approved the F.B.I. raid on Michael Cohen, Trump is enraged and wanting to fire him. I hope Rosenstein will still be the Deputy Attorney General next week.
Trump is still raging about the F.B.I. raid. He tweeted, “Attorney–client privilege is dead!” For someone who always bragged that he is above the law, Trump is now implying that the law should protect him. He must be scared and paranoid. He is going down. Sadly we will go down with him.
Stormy Stormy Stormy (uh-huh) can’t you see (uh)
Sometimes your work just hippotize me (hippotize)
And I just love your flashy ways (uh-huh)
Guess that’s why they broke (the law), and you’re so paid (hah)
I put T-R-U-M-P showering in my pee pee (uh-huh)
Rolled up a M-A-G and smacked him up his booty (that’s right)
You’re fucking with a porn star (c’mon)
Get your dumbass lawyer to pay me $130,000 (hah!)
Now who’s the real dookie, meanin’ who’s really the shit
Them GOPs ride dicks, Stormy Daniels pushes the sticks.
Trump is pissed. In response to the F.B.I raid, he said, “It’s an attack on our country, in a true sense. It’s an attack on what we all stand for.” This is not an attack on our country. It’s a defense of our democracy. This is not an attack on what we all stand for. We stand up against fascism. We cannot allow our country to turn into an authoritative ruling. Trump is not above the law. If he fires Robert Mueller, his ass is done. He should just hand over his presidency now before Stormy Daniels takes him down.
The F.B.I. on Monday raided the office of President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, seizing records related to several topics including payments to a pornographic-film actress.
Shit is about to go down.
