Exactly. “When they go low, we go high” has proven to be an ineffective strategy. We expect, and perhaps need that dignity and optimism from someone like Michelle Obama. Meanwhile, some people need to get their hands dirty. Pelosi is a good person to do it because she knows certain people will always hate her. Nothing…

It’s actually Lebanese magic! Shakira’s father is Lebanese and she grew up practicing belly-dancing. 

They’re probably most pissed about all the speaking Spanish and stuff, but don’t want to seem racist, so they get focus on getting incensed about the sexy stuff instead.

I mean, if you look at the satanic temple’s fundamental tenets, Satan could actually be pretty darn good!

And I’ve literally seen the same people who said they loved Warren four years ago are now saying seriously nasty shit about her. That is the point here.

I’ve heard archaeology is a really difficult profession. I know a lot of people who studied it and only one is still in the field.

Thanks for your perspective. Everyone I’ve talked to so far (friends and family, not fellow teachers) has tried to reassure me that it will get better as I develop skills and confidence, but the path to get there, if I ever do, just seems too long. I’m in my 30s and while that’s not old, by any means, it is too old to…

Thanks for the video. Making eyeballs seems really cool. Even cooler than making teeth, but it’s apparently really hard to get into, as a profession. Apparently there are only 8 ocularists in my entire state! Luckily making teeth seems pretty cool too.

Timing things so that everything crisps and cooks at the right time to achieve a solid egg sandwich is a serious skill.

I have a really shitty cold right now and my first symptom was being even more exhausted than normal. To be safe, I’d try some vitamin D for the mood and some zinc, elderberry, garlic, or all of the above for the immune system. Exercise is good for staving off depression, but might not be good if you need rest to…

In a classic “too lazy to shop so what can I do with what’s currently in my fridge?” experiment, made a meatloaf filled omelet today. There wasn’t quite enough meatloaf leftover for two full servings, so I decided to see what I could do with a smaller amount. It wasn’t too bad. I quite liked the flavor at first, but…

Aw, I think Shaq is hilarious but getting involved with Papa John’s is a serious bummer. I also think Shaq might be kind of a dick, but most people with his name recognition are, so, ya know.

I actually don’t think the kid is still on the team anymore. I looked at photos of the current roster and don’t see him. Also don’t remember the name. This was a couple of years ago.

I read that the Spice House was recently purchased by some wealthy finance types and is no longer owned by the Penzey family. Perhaps they call Chicago home now?

It’s always done that intermittently for me. Profoundly annoying.

Sadly, I have never met Giannis. 

I live in Milwaukee and worked in a restaurant that some of the Bucks would occasionally visit. One really liked Shirley Temples. If it’s manly enough for a 7 foot tall professional athlete, it should be manly enough for anyone.

It’d be hilarious if it weren’t so sad. You’re 100% right. The same “woke” bros who were saying “I’m not SEXIST because I don’t like Hillary I’d TOTALLY vote for ELIZABETH WARREN” in 2016 are now tearing her down every chance they get.

This works until he realizes that since a roll is like a mini loaf of bread, the entire outside of that roll is pretty much just crust. 

When my husband and I travel, we often end up being together for the better part of two weeks straight. We might like to share a meal, but not have all that much left to say, especially if we spent the whole day hiking or on some other adventure that leaves us exhausted.
