Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like to introduce you to a little program called Excel. It and it’s forebears have been around since the early 80s. Type the date that your kids were born in one cell. Type today’s date in another. Subtract the earlier date from today. Magic.

Maybe you haven’t had the same experiences with the Patagonia Venture Fund that I have. Their anti-capitalism, environmental stance is 3/4 bullshit.

How did they cheat in 2016?

Being afraid of something that hasn’t happened isn’t really your best chance to say “fuck those people” for not doing something that would upset me.

There is no room for logic on Jezebel Kinja. You’re dismissed.

Who in the fuck said that Americans don’t fear the coronavirus becuase they think that being white will give them immunity? I mean WTF? Strawman much?

Actually, she is probably right. The market where the initial people contracted it ostensibly sold all sorts of “wild” game for human consumption including: snakes, bats, cats and dogs.

There a global pandemic of a respiratory virus. Responding to someone loudly coughing in a very public space isn’t even remotely racist. He should get the fuck over himself.

Victorian English lit is my fave: Brontes, Hardy, Dickens, Thackery, bring them all.

ToTC was the bomb, as are all of Dickens’ works--except maybe for you, Bleak House.

Love me some Hardy. “Return of the Native” was long my favorite book, but I now haven’t read it in so long that I can’t guarantee I’d like the same things about it. I always liked Jude and Tess both, but not as much as some of the others. Mayor of Casterbridge, anyone? I love those books like I love all of the…

I remember reading Pynchon’s “The Crying of Lot 49" in college and really liking it. It was much more accessible than GR and a lot shorter, but it is still quite post-modern, so there is still more than a little of that particular type of BS. In some retrospectives, Pynchon has said that he hates the book, so that…

Season 3 was pretty good

a lot of Chinese cooking uses potato starch. It’s gelatinazation temp is meaningfully lower (140 ish)

I believe that California is one of the few states where you can take the bar even if you don’t have a law degree. You can do “apprentice” work with a lawyer and get him/her to sponsor you. Of course this is the way that Kim K is going. She wouldn’t put in three whole years of hard work for this scam.

I’m not even a boomer and I think (know) it’s stupid.

Good one. You’re right; virtually no one mentioned Chappaquidick when Teddy kicked the bucket.

Thanks for that.

Whole Foods existed, but it was basically the same as any other hippy co-op food store (they were in a tiny location on Lamar in Austin). It was only after Central Market opened in 1993 that WFM started to become the store that we know today. Someday I’d like to see someone do an in-depth piece on that first Central…

Come on people. I’m here for the Watchmen jokes. Please step up your games.
