The former first lady framed this as a moment when we can show our children “what we truly value.” Any political speech of this era is bound to contain nods to important issues for parents — childcare and education....
Of all the people who owe zero explanation to the public for their behavior, we would put Naya Rivera’s grieving ex-husband Ryan Dorsey and sister Nickayla Rivera up high on that list. The tabloids have been hounding them since they moved in together following Naya’s death by accidental drowning in July, even as it’s clear she is helping out with her nephew Josey.

No, this “diet” is the kind that we can actually get behind, as it requires abstaining from anything that bothers you, makes you uncomfortable, and/or puts you on the spot, thereby wasting your energy. The iconic concept, dubbed an “energy diet,” was created by an understandably fed up woman who took to Reddit’s “Am I the Asshole?...
