In this case, the use of “they” is probably a reflection of the person being trans.  That’s my guess anyway.  I will admit, it still throws me every time I see “they” used in this context until I realize what the writer is talking about.

Well, except for the complete lack of real B scenarios.

True, there are definitely other kinds of incidents that warrant these lockdowns, but people do specifically associate them with the active shooter phenomenon. Full disclosure, I’ve been in an actual active shooter lockdown on my grad school campus. Thankfully I was in a different building than the one the shooting…

Despite the sensationalism and terror of these events, they are still outliers, and the United States is still a country in which we can generally assume our kids are safe at school. As both a teacher and a parent of a school-age kid, I think it’s important to keep that in focus.

I know that New Mexico governor video is cheesy, but damned if I don’t enjoy the governor’s willingness to look silly in order to make a meaningful point.  More power to her.

Let me guess...you’re early 20s? Levine is nearly 40. At 40, that’s an “I can afford a daily personal trainer bod.” Still looks like a douche though. ;-)

Absolutely. Sugar is addictive, so the more they include, the more likely they are to get repeat customers. I do like dry cereal once in a while, but I mostly eat it as a snack, and usually right before exercise to make use of the carb-boost. :)

Desserts you eat in the morning.  Haha...very well put!  Exactly right!

I would go so far as to (anecdotally) suggest that anyone who has a passing understanding of health and nutrition was already pretty aware of the fact that carb-heavy breakfasts like cereals, toast, hash browns, etc. are a nearly guaranteed path to fat gain. Lean meats and eggs (properly prepared) are much healthier,…

I am fully on board with this.  When prepared correctly, chocolate makes an excellent “sweet & savory” combo with many dishes.  I’d love to give this a try.

You’ll be proud to know that Fox News agrees with you.

Let’s be honest with ourselves; wouldn’t we all rather take the juicy gossip White House tour than the dignified presidential history one?

Exactly. Once you notice it, it only reinforces the fact that the map is just a “set” for the gameplay. I hate to use the phrase “immersion-breaking,” but yeah. :) Having recently come off Red Dead Redemption 2, a game that, despite how some may feel about the pacing and mechanics, has extremely believably designed…

What’s cool about this is not only how creatively detailed some of those beds are, but also how logically organized the actual spaces are. I’ve been playing Assassins Creed Odyssey lately, and recently noticed that like half of the game’s interiors don’t have any actual points of entry or access between floors. I…

This is all well and good, but where is the article explaining how to get a magazine-cover-ready super-bod?

His mugshot looks like somebody drew a face on a thumb.

Is there any account of what was going on that lead to this?  Looks like there is already some shit going down with him peacocking around that crowd before the filming starts.

Blade Runner is more widely admired than The Empire Strikes Back? Really??

Also fuck the BBB because it’s a toothless institution that doesn’t have any clout with the shitty big businesses that actually need additional oversight.

To piggy-back on this a bit, it’s also worth noting that any “eyewitness” accounts of Aztec rituals are about as far from rock-solid evidence as you can get. Most were second-hand accounts written down by Spanish monks (who were not usually actual eyewitnesses) after the fact. They are “I heard it from a friend who…
