There was America’s Funniest Home Videos in the 80's. Before that, I don’t know.

My town is going crazy and I just refinanced my HELOC, so when when houses got sold within a block of me, not only did I snoop daily, I discussed it with my next door neighbors. I am shameless.

I had a similar thought, but less articulate.

Jesus, those things across the street. Holy shit.

The jury of Minnesota taxpayers let Yanez off. I wish they felt more of a tax bite on this settlement.

Yeah, that showed a lack of imagination on the part of the writers, imo.

CunningFolk was insisting that nobody had asked for specifics that required links, when in fact they had.

You were asked for proof that Hillary came out of the woodwork to support Trump’s bombing of Syria and to say that she would have gone further.

Hah! I got to read that my sophomore year. I went to an intensely academic girls’ school though.

Bosses who don’t have to answer to bosses of their own (and even plenty who do have biases) can become shitty, petty tyrants with control issues, and also can make mistakes and be inconsistent in the behavior they demand from the employee vs the kind of work they say they want the employee to produce.

Chapter 8 of Richard Wright’s “Black Boy”. What year was that?
