I worked in a group home when I was in my early 20's and I frequently had to use passive restraint techniques as part of deescalating people that were a danger to themselves and/or others. I was tiny, 5'4" and about 115 lbs., and was able to talk down, and if need be, restrain people twice my size who were often out…

They spent a fortune wheeling and dealing to stockpile it. At some point the figure is going to come out on how much they wasted to hoard something that was unproven, and in the process deprived people who actually needed it. He’s trying to get out ahead of it with his base. If he convinces them to take it, and they…

Not classic rock, but I took my mom to see James Taylor a few years back and I couldn’t get over how amazing he sounded. 

Also Stabiae and Oplontis. Ostia is also really cool in contrast as it is a port that naturally came to an end, rather than one that was ended by a violent event.

I’ve been lucky enough to work at various sites around Vesuvius, and while it is super cool to be excavating and learning new details, things really should be left below ground unless there are plans to be able to actively monitor and consistently conserve anything you dig out. This basically goes for any archeology…

I photograph weddings on the side and I have to say that lawn games are always a hit. It’s boring standing around after the wedding waiting for formal photos to end, and it gives people something to do other than attempt to make small talk with people they don’t know while they wait to get to dinner. The only part of…

Yep. The second college I went to had banned frats and the sports teams filled the gap. 

You have really good insights and back things up with legit knowledge. I’ve learned a lot from you and will miss your take on things. For some unknown reason, I’m in the black on jez and will bring your stuff out if I ever see you over there.

I have waist length straight hair. Just a trim off an inch off the bottom, no fancy styling, starts in most places at $60. I’ve tried going to cheap walkin places, and I’ve still paid at least $40.

“I have a little conflict of interest ’cause I have a major, major building in Istanbul,” Trump said on Breitbart News Daily. “It’s a tremendously successful job. It’s called Trump Towers—two towers, instead of one, not the usual one, it’s two.”

Eric Trump also penned a thoughtful editorial:

I wish to god that those of us in academia in tech and support positions could unionize. Any time there has been an attempt towards it, the higher ups snuff it out before anything can even begin to think about happening.

But does he have a case now with all of the religious anti persecution and discrimination laws that are being put in place?

Look, the only thing wrong with this is that it should be National Pancake Day every day.

This shit popped up in my feed this morning, which was a great way to start the day.

Yeah I’d for sure buy that. I’ve seen it in family members and it’s ugly and depressing.

I hate him, but the whole thing has become completely depressing in the way that age inevitably makes soup of all of us. He hasn’t been a raving lunatic his whole life; it’s obvious that something is eating at his brain and he belongs at home ranting at a tv in his bathrobe, not broadcast on one.

I’d feel better about the whole thing if he didn’t get that last paragraph out. I think it’s optimistic to think that everyone will have forgotten about it tomorrow as it’s exactly the sort of shit Trump’s supporters eat up. It’s all they will get out of the entire exchange other than the fake news (even if it was…

Anytime I see something like this, I flash back to one of the nine million think pieces about the neglect of rural America and their righteous anger, wherein some guy interviewed in the article straight up said, “I’m not voting for a female and her agenda.” That tells you all you need to know about the whole…

I prefer my theory which is though it’s not normally a thing he does, Pharaoh saw Pence as the piece of shit he is and made an exception and gave him a good bite when no one was looking.
