I saw Trainspotting in 1996 alone in a small theater near Swiss Cottage station while living in London for a year exchange of law school. I was a 25 year old American Ivy Leaguer, and that time in the U.K. was my first time when I did not feel forced to be the perfect, preppy son. I was liberated, and it was…

Agree completely! It’s a wonderful old ship and a great place to spend a day or a night.

The last time I tried to take an important work call at home, my wife - 6 days post childbirth - had a massive uterine blood clot rupture and nearly died.

I am continually stunned at the administration’s willingness to make absolute statements on every issue. They just keep setting themselves up to be outed over and over and over again.

They are damn near ubiquitous in Southern California, where planned (often gated) communities abound. If you buy in such an area, it’s mandatory. You can’t live in the neighborhood without also being a part of the HOA. The rules are ridiculous and the power dynamics often border on obscene. The only benefit I’ve…

Someone needs to remind him of that incredibly important maxim:

You’ve not lived until you’ve read the NYT review of his restaurant. It makes the heart sing and the stomach churn:

I don’t know: obsessed with his hair, has an overblown sense of his own value, voices suspect ideas about women, and destroyed the world with his own greed. Sounds pretty accurate once you remove Maui’s actual good nature and innate decency. Now, let’s just hope the same character turnaround occurs.

It’s so Rufus!

“...Demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men and women...”

Don’t you mean “Catstantinople”?

If you don’t like CivPro, I’d stay away from litigation. It never goes away.

My parents are US-born, but also have Australian passports, as my dad worked there for 25 years. They are also huge Trump supporters (sigh).

I admit, a few times in my life, too far and too many drinks into an evening, I’ve tried to deliver a well-meaning toast that went decidedly off the tracks. But, sweet Jesus, I was still fucking Churchill-Lincoln-King all rolled into one compared to this.
