One of my buddies teaches at a really exclusive school and gets paid significantly better than public school teachers. Low six figures.

The Reds are playing downtown.

One of the greatest lines in a fake SNL ad ever: “For when your uterine lining looks like the elevator from The Shining: Stayfree Maxi pads!”

If you’re traveling abroad and going where blow-dryers aren’t part of the hotel deal, don’t bring yours from home. Buy one at your destination. That way you won’t have to worry about conversion and plugs that don’t fit, and all that shit. Small hair dryers are cheap all over the world. And you can toss it instead of…

I just this past weekend paid $4 per box to the moppet that came to my door. That’s in NY; maybe pricing is different elsewhere?

I remember when the vaccine first came out, Texas was mandating it. Because the pharma manufacturer was Texan, so: make sure your donors get all the money! It was funny to watch the anti-science faction crowd out the financial self-interest one. But it sure did!

Because he’s the Only Person in the World who can make hits? Maybe somebody else could, given the opportunity. Maybe not, but they’d spend less on the experiment than they’re spending in litigation.

I agree. I don’t see why Sony won’t find another producer for her.

I’m sad for you! The cat who lived downstairs from me, and who habitually visited me every afternoon to do reconnaissance around my place, get brushed (I trained her to do so in the tub, to minimize hair everywhere) and have a cuddle, died from (I think) the exact same thing. Like Kelloggs, she was only a few years…

Geez, I feel like goddamn Superman when I’m on it. Nothing creaks, nothing hurts, I can walk through walls. Never checked if it makes me puffy, though.

‘Miscreant’ is an excellent descriptor that should be in wider usage.

This will sound elitist, but I don’t care. The best hot chocolate I ever had was in Paris, in a shitty little diner by the D’Orsay. It was cold and rainy, and I was tired from sightseeing, and too intimidated to find a nicer restaurant with my measly French skillz. So I duck into this place, sit at the counter, and…

All the women of color are in the back of the shot. That’s very bad composition, among other things.

I distinctly remember reading an interview with O’Leary last year wherein he asserted that his investments with women were all performing well, much better as a group than the men he invested in. So even though he has data in his own pocket, he still behaves as conditioned by culture.

This show is such a guilty pleasure for me. It’s so consumerist and so crushingly conformist (if you want something weird, they totally throw up their hands all ‘well, we just can’t’ and weasel you into something more traditionally bridal), but then, somebody tries something on and I’m all…

Put it this way: Submission is not Consent.

I really want him to eschew the lectern and do the whole thing with a hand mic. And when he’s done, shout “POTUS out!” and drop it.

Well, that’s not the point I was making at all, but thanks for responding.

I think it would be interesting to study the mental processes of prosecutors in cases like these. I get the feeling that it would be less odious for them to lose a case than it seems to be for their ‘win’ to be deemed In Error. You see lots of prosecutors confronted with DNA exculpation go “Nope! I got my guy!”…

Hey, Pharoah, why the long fa...? Oh. Sorry ‘bout that.
