Dude, I lived there for YEARS, I’m well aware of the weather patterns. And they weren’t my cup of tea. Chill. I’m not telling you that your choice of home is terrible and that you should leave immediately. I’m saying I don’t enjoy that weather myself, and so I moved. Problem solved.

Agreed. But my family loves the boring ass weather there and never wants to leave. Different strokes, I guess. After a heat wave over Christmas, it’s finally cold and windy again today, and I’m really happy about it.

Actually, San Diego was pretty consistently foggy and cool in June and July. I always felt sorry for the tourists huddled along the boardwalk, freezing their asses off in shorts and tank tops, and realizing too late that the water is too cold to swim in without a wet suit, like, 11 months out of the year. But I didn’t…

You forgot Green Flash! I drank so much crazy hoppy beer when I lived in SoCal that I swear I blew out my tastebuds on it.

I left California in part because I hated the weather. Well, I hated the weather in Southern California, I could probably handle it in NorCal. Joke’s on me, I guess, because it was 73 fucking degrees in Atlanta on Christmas Day.

We have a team of evaluation experts at my organization, and they were practically giddy at the idea of dissecting and finding the flaws in the election polling. I guess it was their silver lining (we’re pretty much all liberals at my office).

I’m sure they’d prefer a white lady from, like, Ohio, but in a pinch, Melania will do, I suspect, because she has the right pigmentation. Their long years of suffering under the Obamas has really made them more open and appreciative of all white people, doncha know.

What she meant by “classy” and “dignified” is “white.” She didn’t like having a black First Lady, and she’s glad that Melania is white. I really think that’s it. Now that you’re out of a job, Pam, have fun with the inevitably rapidly shrinking safety net system under the new President and First Lady you so admire.…

Haha, so I am basically your dog. Is it a really furry breed? I keep my heat at like 68, 69 in the winter, and I’m pretty sure my cats want to murder me because of it. They would happily boil if I let them.

I’m from the South - born and raised in Atlanta, live here now - but a) I’ve lived in New England, and b) I’m very hot natured, so I’m the rare Southerner who rarely wears a coat in winter.

FUCK THIS WEATHER. It’s going to be 70 degrees on Christmas for the second year in a row. I never expect a white Christmas here, but I’d like to need a goddamn cardigan.

A Home Depot founder endorsed Trump, but he is in no way attached to the corporation anymore except as a shareholder. Arthur Blank is super liberal and he co-founded Home Depot, too, but that doesn’t mean Home Depot is liberal, or conservative, just because of its founders.

Also, my hope is that if he’s a pretty new rep, he won’t be on the important committees yet and won’t have the clout to get important co-signers and push through legislation. That’s not to say some other, more tenured yahoo won’t do it, though.

I can’t see UPS backing down ever. They have pretty progressive leadership, and fund the Annie E. Casey Foundation. I don’t think Home Depot would back down, either, and Coke has a progressive image to protect. Delta, too, for that matter.

The schadenfreude is my silver lining.

Governor Deal shut that shit down last time on the grounds that it was bad for business. May he do it again.

I’m glad you asked, that part was driving me NUTS.

I am going to find a way to work, “Roll around in that one, mayo on the flesh,” into so many conversations.

Yeah, he’s made some not cool statements about women over the years. I give him a lot of blame for Blurred Lines.

Yeah, the only heartening sentiment I’ve heard so far, “They just broke, so they gotta buy it.” They voted for a man who is going to fuck our economy so hard and probably lead us into another recession, this time without the help of ARRA, because they had your feels all hurt that lame old white men only have like a…
