I do the laundry in our house and every time a pair of pants goes in the wash, I check to make sure nothing is left in the pockets. And every time it is a pair of my wife or daughter’s pants, I am (still) surprised by the fake pocketry. Every single time.

Use Zotero. It integrates with your browser, stores screenshots of sites in addition to bibliographic info, lets you take notes, integrates with Word (and/or LibreOffice) to insert properly formatted citations for you. Also, it handles all other types of sources with manual entry, ISBN/DOI lookup, or scraping…

Can I safely assume each of these products is an affiliate link that nets GMG a referral? Because not a terrible way to make some scratch off of the revolution (R)

Cottage cheese whisked into scrambled eggs is fee-noh-meen-ahl. Also, with diced tomatoes and sliced avocado in some corn tortillas. Or mixed with a tin of sardines.

Shoulda looked in the greys before adding my own comment. Just glad I’m not the only one out here with some damn standards.

Dr. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif or Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, M.D., but not both. Please, in these unsettled times, let’s not abandon the tentpole of literate society that is AP Style.

Did you know Jennifer Garner went to my mom’s high school? Like, 15 years later, but still?

I’d distinguish between above the line people (cast, producers, directors) and below the line/technical people. The latter group may be contracted out or studio-employed, their careers are a lot more precarious than on-camera and production folks, and they don’t get paid anywhere near as much.

I asked this of my…

Isn’t pregnancy covered by the ADA? The racist treatment toward the testers aside, unless there is a specific burden on a pregnant woman renting a unit, isn’t that disability-based discrimination?

So, yes to all of this. But also, the Hispanic community in my small town is throwing a big Cinco de Mayo event downtown. Closing off a few blocks of the main street, a bunch of vendors setting up, a stage with local musicians and dancers, and proceeds from the event go to support the organization’s scholarship fund.…

I wish someone had told me about “envelope neck.”

Came looking for this picture and was not disappointed.

This was my first thought on hearing the news this morning. Two things. First, the filing deadline isn’t until June 1, so there’s no way the GOP lets Nehlen take the primary. Someone else will file, someone whose primary qualifications will be a registered Republican, not an active/outspoken white nationalist, and…

I never thought of Walter as a hero. Part of that was that he may have been initially motivated by the right things but he never acted with any sort of decisiveness or resolve. The other part was definitely that he was an asshole to his wife and son, the people who were supposedly benefiting from his actions. He’s the…

Can I just post the link to my daughter’s online store? That’s OK, right? Everyone wants that, right?

Congrats on the healthy losses! I’m down 35 lbs since January 2017, and in much the same ways. I’m using LoseIt to track calories and exercise and getting to the gym four days a week for a mix of weights and cardio. The most important thing its done is make me pay attention to what and how much I’m eating. It’s also…

“I know people who think this way” is miles away from “Most people think this way.” Try harder. As someone above noted, Jews are about as reliable a Democratic constituency as there is. If “good for Israel” means “what Bibi wants,” then there is just literally no way your claim is correct because USAmerican Jews…

How do you define “support for Israel”? I actually don’t give a damn how you do it because it turns out that Jewish communities define it a lot of different ways, and vote accordingly, including support for Palestinian rights and a legitimate two-state solution. We also vote based on domestic policy like taxes,…

“I mean these families lost their children,” he added. “We lost coaches. I’ve been to the funerals. ... I’ve been to the vigils. It’s just, ah, there are no words.”
