You know, whenever I feel pretty uninterested in the host, it turns out to be a really fun episode (and I say this as someone who pretty much likes most episodes anyway).

I'd take that over Perdue.

Go Bears.

If it had genuinely been audience members getting to dance through the halls rather than the choreographed number, that would have at least had some fun, spontaneous energy. But this just felt like a fake party.

I'm pretty sure that second number was choreographed by somebody's 8-yr-old cousin.

Not at all. Still waiting for that realization not to be a accompanied by a strong feeling of queasiness.

While I agree that a typo is incredibly unprofessional for any website, let alone the White House, can we please stop equating "didn't spell right in one instance" with "can't spell right"? If it was wrong all over the page, then yes, they can't spell it. Otherwise, it's a careless typo, and you know it. We all make…

I just got Hulu again and plowed through season 2 first.

YES. Many years ago I'm ashamed to admit I spent my last day in San Diego visiting my sister nursing a hangover from a pretty epic bar crawl the day before and all day we laid around on the couch getting ready to go to the beach and instead kept convincing ourselves we needed to see what happened at the end of just…

Yeah, people know what it is, right? Or was that just in the late '80s/early 90s when it was all the rage.

Why? Panic attacks or burnout aren't necessarily chronic and one day of rest can do wonders for a person and their productivity. No need to change jobs just because someone needs a little rest from time to time.

No way, this culture of suck it up and go to work sick in the US is ridiculously unhealthy. It spreads through the schools and offices and lingers and everyone's productivity suffers. We just had a big talk about this in our small office after a workhorse colleague kept coming in sick (on and off for months because…

But in the end a more subtle route might be the only way to reach people. If the goal is really to change minds among our opponents we can't just yell at them, no matter how angry we are. It doesn't work. But look at how many people are talking about how happy they are and that this wasn't political, even though it…

Our last office manager was a millenial and there was a lot about her attitude in the way that she talked and her sense of humor that came across very immature and entitled, but she was an incredibly hard worker and could always be counted on to help anyone in the office who was scrambling to finish up a big project…

My most salient generational block definer is whether or not you grew up watching the Muppets.

I saw that reincarnated dog trailer before La La Land, and it looks like the single most emotionally manipulative movie I've ever beheld.

I was really pulling for Issa Rae, she was fantastic.

Yeah, this is pretty much my feeling. Both Trump and Pence would do different types of damage as president. But I think the damage Pence would do (or attempt to do) would truly galvanize people and could eventually be undone. Whereas Trump's sheer ineptitude is going to lead to some sort of attack or war or something…

Yeah, it makes me feel like a total asshole, but maybe it's just time to actually wean myself off of this devotion to do-gooder jobs for peanuts (I was a very engaged adjunct at a community college before this, and while I am happy that I managed to reach and help a lot of students, boy was I a chump for busting my…
