Sometimes, the role model a person needs to see is someone who's already in their life. If you feel safe doing so, being visible can make a big difference--even if it's just for one person.

This is goddamn genius. More of this, in Portland and everywhere these ICE clowns are on the street. Expose the lies, expose the waste of resources. Treat them like you'd treat a drunken clown. Because that's what they are.

BREAKING: 3--yes, THREE--of my Iona University students got 100s on the semester's fourth quiz, and I'm so happy. I didn't realize how emotional grading exams would be! But when they start to rock, it feels so good. Good work, guys!

RIP CBS News. Seriously. It's not about whatever views or ideologies Weiss holds. She's done original "reporting" on explosive topics and been caught using slippery methods that wouldn't pass even basic standards tests. And as her reward, she gets to run a news organization with a revered history.

Bari Weiss is set to be named the editor in chief of CBS News, the New York Post reports

Paramount Skydance is poised to name Bari Weiss as editor in chief of CBS News in the coming days — giving the hard-charging journalist unusual clout to revamp the struggling network as it also acquires her scrappy news site the Free Press, The Post has learned.

Weiss — a 41-year-old former New York Times opinion writer who has built the Free Press into a buzzworthy site with a contrarian bent — is expected to be named to the top post in a Monday announcement, although the talks are in flux and the timing could change, a source close to the situation said.

I'm still amazed how few times in my life a doctor has ever asked me about two things: what I eat (isn't that important?) and what's my sexual orientation
