I think his point is that we should do some things that benefit them and also benefit us all.

Yeah, I’m wondering that myself. Not snarkily, I honestly have no idea and am curious how this stuff works.

Beach volleyball is the best volleyball. Although, I’m too old and fat to play doubles. Fours, though, is where it’s at.

I loved these games so, so very much.

City and county consolidation to a municipal government. There are pros and cons. My city of Syracuse is currently looking at this as a possibility to cut expenses. The negative is that the heavily democratic city would be representationally obliterated by the Republican-leaning suburban voters who, ah, let’s say…

I don’t know. I would never pay, but nor do I have any interest in professional stuff. I like people who look like, well, normal people. People that could be my neighbors or coworkers (none of whom look like porn stars, fwiw). And it seems more “real” and exciting to me. This is cool and all and I support the ethics…

My wife is from Ohio and settled in Upstate/Central NY. She hates Ohio.

That would be good, had I any confidence in my own ability to properly sharpen a knife. :)

Mainly a sharpening steel, and then we have one of these for when I feel like they’re getting really bad:

What sort of bread knife is he using that he can’t use it properly? Is it made out of rubber? A good bread knife, while it should be used for bread alone, is probably the sharpest blade you have.

Also, who cuts tomatoes with a bread knife? Use a serrated paring (or serrated utility) knife for crying out loud!

I dunno, I like Boeheim fine enough, but I was looking forward to a new chapter.

Fellow Le Moyne alumnus?

The Slot is the first page I navigate too now. I’ve had to start following The Concourse after the death of Gawker, despite my general ambivalence towards Deadspin as a whole. Jezebel rules, though.

I’ve got to be honest, while you’re among my very favorite sites and you get me through every work day, I was hoping you’d go dark today.

Damn good to have you back, Jeb.

I mean. Yeah. He’s an acquired taste. So is coffee. And beer. Both of those things are better than Boeheim. I’m not sure what my point is. At least he’s not boring.

The fuck did Syracuse do?

Yeah, that’s Evangelical Atheism. The worst.

I’m about as Left as one can reasonably get while still being a functional member of society and I think Maher is a shitbag.

I wish you, Jennifer C. Martin, Adam Weinstein, and Jeb Lund would all get together and fill the hole that Gawker left in my heart. Politics, inequality, labor, social injustice, religion, and the military industrial complex. I’d read that site.
