A gun in a home isn’t dangerous because plenty of other things are more dangerous? I like this logic.

In some states, and federally, sexual orientation is not a protected class. We still need to change that.

I think it was back in the 80s — Citicorp had as its tagline: “Because Americans want to succeed, not just survive.” The implication is that the rest of the world is content to not starve to death, while we’re noshing on foie gras canapes (which are mostly going to end up in the garbage anyway) and drinking champagne.

The joke about Doom 3 is that it was too reliant on “monster closets” — areas where some baddie is just sitting in a confined space, waiting for the player to arrive so it can jump out of its closet. It’s a weak gameplay mechanic, and it was rightly panned.

I acknowledged that the racism is different. But fuck you right in the implied privilege — you have no idea what it’s like for new Asian immigrants in this country, and you shouldn’t presume anything about what the system — admittedly built for someone else — does to us.

A white chocolate one, of course.

I am no longer in grad school and I don’t ever have to talk like that again.

It’s a frappuccino of hate.

Can’t hear anything about profiteroles without thinking of this. (Reference is at about 50 seconds.)

A society is perfectly capable of doing more than one thing at a time.

Because there’s no diversity within the category “Asian”? You tell me what experiences a Laotian and Sri Lankan have in common.

Thomas’ own marriage is only legal in all 50 states because of a Supreme Court decision. Just sayin’.

45% of the company is non-white. It’s just not the right kind of non-white.

File under “Possible but Statistically Unlikely,” like accidentally creating a singularity in the LHC or having sex with an African American Republican.

Sean Connery approves.

Pretzel dough is easy and ridiculously forgiving. Skip the boiling step and wrap it around whatever you want — my daughter and I make pretzel bites with about 3/4 to 1 ounce of dough wrapped around a small piece of sharp cheddar.

Sexuality is a fluid, dynamic social construct built into static biology and cannot be deviated from. Clear as glass, that.

My HDHomeRun Prime showed up in the media player, and sure enough it’ll play every channel I have including HBO. Since I refuse to give Comcast money for a cable box, this is the first time I’ve been able to stream live HBO to my TV.

Them gold heels tho. I’ve got to get that ensemble for the missus — minus the coat and the bag, of course.
