When I was in Key West around 25 years ago, I had the best cup of coffee of my life from this little, grimy, hole-in-the-wall Cuban place on a sketchy side street.

I do wish we could find a nice middle ground between “impossible beauty standards” and “ignoring the obesity epidemic”.

Well, that’s the fun thing about depression- You KNOW that getting up and showering and going out and doing something will make you feel better, you just.... Don’t. Or you know it, but don’t believe it.

Look, I’m not saying it was a good thing to put the mentally ill into cruelly run asylums where they’d be subjected to electroshock experimentation, I’m just saying that maybe it was a better solution than giving them YouTube channels.

If you feel like Israel has a right to their ancestral homeland despite the fact that people had been living there for the last several thousand years, I’m curious as to whether you think that should also apply to the Native Americans, and why or why not.

Everything is fine in the right context.

People change their minds all the time, and personal growth shouldn’t be wholly discounted just because a decision is also politically expedient.

I can get you a camel handler. Cost you about a monkey, including disposal.

Pulling out the membrillo. That is definitely a class act, right there.

Here’s my live grenade of the day:

Yeah, that pretty much sums up the whole thing.

When I put together a cheese plate, I try to hit several checkboxes-

my rules for books are thus:
1. Is this a book I will legit want to read again?
2. Is this a book that is collectible?
3. Is this an educational book that I will refer to at some point?

Plus, if you ask someone out for coffee or a drink, and it goes well, you can always suggest moving on to dinner.  If you’re 15 minutes in and realizing that the whole thing was a terrible waste of time, you haven’t lost much.

Ooomph. You know, I was going to comment something about basic manners and whatnot, but yeah.

You know the difference between changing your mind and flip flopping?

Know what weirds me out? People who post pictures of their kids. Not one of them *with* the kids, just the kids themselves. Or if the kids are in every photo.

Simple solution to funding the wall:

Stop Social Security payments for any state whose electoral votes went to Trump.  They voted for it, they can pay for it.

That’s the part people don’t get.
