Whither NATO?
It's not a bad thing that our policy interests don't align perfectly with those of Saudi Arabia.
Art institutions better f*ing care about the labor conditions behind their buildings.
If I did want to actually reason with my mother, I'd send her Fareed Zakaria's column.
Shockingly, there are gender-biased implications in the Christie bridge report.
It's unconscionable to send tons of perfectly edible peanut butter to a landfill.
Yay! We'll soon have a methane policy/strategy.

It's time for another installment of "I can't believe you people have me defending this person" ("this person" has previously taken the form of Kate Upton, among others). Today, it's Gwyneth Paltrow. Like most people, I find GP tiresome and insufferable; she's smug, overrated, and interchangeable in just about everything she's done (with the possible exception of "Sylvia"). She was once a legitimate style icon, but once she realized it, she started donning clothes that wore her, other than the other way around. Her lifestyle advice is an unfunny, tone-deaf joke. All this to say, if people didn't love to hate her, she'd be a non-entity; there would be no reason whatsoever to pay attention to her.
But, all of that said, what's so wrong with the idea of conscious uncoupling? What's wrong with amicable divorce and looking inward to heal and grow, rather than to fall back on bitterness and resentment? Furthermore, is it really accurate--much less fair--to characterize an ended marriage as "failed," if that marriage was happy for most of its duration? Is a more successful marriage one that endures past its healthy point for either party? Just sayin'.

I picked up my new phone the other day, but I haven't had time to set it up. Here are the last pictures from my old phone (not including the ones at Silo, which, btw, has a lovely house wine).
