Almost any local bakery is VASTLY preferable!

If I want plain coffee, I go to Dunkin’s. If I want anything fancy, I go to Starbucks. Dunkin uses too much sweetening. If I want something to eat, I’d choose Dunkin between those two but am just as likely to hit Cumberland Farms.

Longtime Companion is on Youtube.

His wife’s FATHER owned slaves. Mary Lincoln never owned slaves, nor did her husband. There is no historical evidence of this. Lincoln’s family was far too poor to own slaves.

Ulysses Grant owned a slave (and freed him in 1859) and Andrew Johnson (a pretty vile human being, all around) owned twelve slaves but where is your source on Lincoln owning slaves? The intertubes aren’t giving me anything.

That said, this was a breathtaking non sequiter from Berman.

The coach Rudy’s senior year was Dan Devine, who was hurt that they made him look like a villain. In truth, he was very supportive of Ruettiger playing in the last home game. Ruettiger (who did a two year hitch in the Navy and worked at a power plant for two years after high school graduation) was dyslexic and had to…

Children of Men is a film about hope, dystopian as it is. The ending is actually uplifting.

Because it’s a CULT.

“But the people who DIDN’T die or wind up with Long COVID were still able to go out for breakfast every day and get the Early Bird Specials at their favorite diner.”

Even with her mouth closed, she has a very warm smile.  Good on the journalists who made this an issue!

Super mean and inaccurate. While a couple of them are not natural beauties in the popular culture sense, they are all lovely enough young women and bear resemblance to one or both of their parents.

Never understood the hate.  And she looked great in a plaid skirt and knee socks!

In New England, we have Ocean State Job Lots which, I believe, sells stuff that didn’t sell at big b ox stores. You CAN get some bargains but a lot of it is just poor quality.

Maybe you don’t like bacon but i’m thinking what you don’t like is “too much bacon” which is often what happens in cooking.

Indeed. I witnessed a seizure once, on a public sidewalk, and it scared the shit out of me. The EMT’s who responded knew him (small city) and had him relaxed in short order but still...   NOTHING like these assholes.

No Treasure Island?  No Scarecrow of Romney Marsh?
