I’m mostly offended that someone would have a black coffee with whipped cream on top.  That is some top-level bullshit right there.  You, sir, are lucky that they didn’t throw you out for flaunting your perversions in public.

Holy carp the Elfo thing. I hate the narrative that seems to always show up in these shows. Shlubby, unattractive, unintelligent but nice(ish) guys! Keep pursuing the girl who has told you many times she’s not interested! Keep wearing her down! Be an ass when she shows interest in other men! Be the Nice Guy(tm) until…

Really love their zoo, and the park it’s in is amazing, with great views and the rose garden. Also the Japanese garden is lovely.  Lots of walks and easy to get to by public transportation.

I see this going one of two ways - the Rampage way or the Jumanji way. In Rampage (which I finally saw) the movie was way too serious for the inherently stupid plot. Jumanji knew the plot was dumb and ran with it, without making it worse. I was shocked how violent Rampage was (so much tone problem.) So, I hope they go…

No, but seriously, does anyone have a source for that coat?  Because I have disposable income and I want it so badly.  Would I look as good in it?  Absolutely not.  Do I care?  Nope.

I just hope that they keep the real meaning on the story intact, instead of all of the movie versions.

I feel like the boots as pants thing missed the entire point of pants - to cover the crotch region.  The lower part is perfectly acceptable to show now.  I don’t think we’ve yet gotten to the point where we can go around flashing our nether-regions to each other (yet).

Happily you can still buy versions with the old art. I bought them last year, brand new, on Amazon, so the old art is still an option. Because, frankly, that art made the stories.

If they actually fact check and vet all of the claims on the site, what will they sell?  They’ll be out 99% of their products.

Just a few notes - DEET is what they recommend if you are going to places with all the terrible mosquito-born diseases and they are the most effective in studies.  I personally love 3M Ultrathon since it was recommended to me by our doctor before we went to Peru.

I am so, so, so tired of Robin Hood and King Arthur remakes.  So tired of them.  There are so many stories out there.  So many myths and legends.  And yet these two keep getting remade.  “But it’s an anachronistic take on the story!” they yell.  SO ARE LIKE 50 OTHERS!  They aren’t giving interesting takes (the planned…

One thing I didn’t see anything bring up was when he said that the multiple times that this has happened he hasn’t felt guilty about it.  That means he doesn’t care about his relationship with his girlfriend and how much it would hurt her.  He is a terrible person.  I’d say he should break up with his girlfriend and…

In trying to source a non-dairy protein powder, I ended up settling on an beef-based protein powder. Happily advertised as Paleo Powder - completely consistent with your Paleo diet. Because of course our ancestors used dried meat powder in shaker bottles.

I wasn’t keen on the Voltron reboot, but after a few episodes it grew on me.  So, as someone who both loved the idea of She-Ra (mostly because she was better than her brother and her sword did more stuff) but admit that it was seriously lacking in plot and animation quality, I will definitely give this a try.  It…

I’ll just pop on here to recommend the fantastic biography “Queen of Scots: The True Life of Mary Stuart” by John Guy.  A very even-handed book that is very readable and very evidence-based.  A bit long, but comprehensive if you want to sort out all the stories around her.  Also, men are always the worst.

No?  What?  No.  This is a terrible idea.  Just no.

We had over 100 people at the immigration protest in Milford, CT, which has about 52,000 people.   

Freud did so many terrible things that I hate seeing him continuing to be sanitized and memorialized in modern media.  The idea of any show with him as the hero just pisses me off.  He was a terrible, terrible person.  So, no thanks on this for me.

He imagines himself a member of the British aristocracy who has his servants bringing him his morning letters and then take things away.  He is clearly doing this because he wants to pretend he has staff.  And writer - why are you still hanging out with this guy.  He sounds like the worst.

When I moved into an apartment, I entered through the parking garage.  I couldn’t figure out which set of stairs to take, so I ended up entering the stairs at the far end of the garage.  I walked up to my floor, tried the door, no good, locked.  I went back down, no good, locked.  No signal.  I was walking up and down…
