Stu vs Stu

Holy shit congratulations!

Glad you found a few places that work! Sounds like your wife has a cool job. Good luck moving!
Tangentially: W. Kamau Bell did a great episode of United Shades of America in Portland. Worth a watch if you're heading that direction.

I don't want to, uh, race-splain, but there's not much diversity in the Pacific Northwest (Portland specifically kicked out its black people. I don't know much about Seattle but it always seems like a bastion of white hipster liberals; I'm happy to be corrected by any Seattle-ites).
I bring this up solely because I…

I still feel that there's a way to convince (younger, at least) white people that Democrats are in their best interest economically, while still being a party that (generally) defends equal rights. Dems are horrific at messaging, but somehow we have to be able to explain that we can do two things at once.

Booker, sadly, is hurt by his refusal to state that he's not gay (though his literally running into a burning building to save people really ought to be the end of that conversation). I'm pulling for a Castro/Brown or Brown/Castro ticket; whichever of them makes a bigger splash in the next three years gets the top…

I need help reacting to something.

yep.

I might have everyone beaten: I spent a strangely high amount of time with Courtney Love's father in my home. He's…precisely what you'd expect.

Achondroplasia is often at least somewhat painful; I'd assume he's in a bit of pain and is also frequently medicated, accounting for his irritability and occasional spaciness. I have a chronic pain condition and the resting bitch face that comes with it is no joke.

I actually liked it. It's a bit blah, and drags a bit at the end, but the two leads are good and the dialogue is pretty decent. Mostly I liked that it was sweet and good-hearted; a lot of movies these days are focused on making someone an enemy so that there can be a big fight. Before We Go feels like a throwback to…

Oh man, with the knitting thing? Watch a youtube video and get goin', or donate that shit to goodwill. I can't really knit due to hand arthritis, but it's a good hobby for anxiety riddled perfectionists; the key phrase is "when in doubt, pull it out" (don't bother, guys). If you fuck up some stitches, yank 'em out and…

My dad saw 'em coming through the window, gave my mom the briefest shit-eating grin, and opened the door. He listened to them for a moment, then said "sure, c'mon in! we're sacrificing a goat in the backyard, you can help!"
They left quickly. He used to wave cheerfully every time he saw them on their bikes in the…

Isn't that Terrence Malick's wheelhouse?

I thought Domenick himself was perfectly cute in The Wire; the character, not his looks, made him undateable/unfuckable. Kind and funny change the equation entirely.

Seriously, how is that post still here?

When a crime is distressingly common and someone is accused of it, it's illogical to assume the plaintiff is lying.
And tangentially, I'm in favor of all court records regarding sexual assault being confidential or sealed, at least until a verdict is rendered. The accused has a right to privacy, and perhaps more…

She mostly seemed nervous. I get the strong impression that her deadpan persona evolved as a way of dealing with stage anxiety. Now that her career is taking off, she doesn't want to be the weird deadpan girl anymore, but isn't sure how to be anything else.
This is, of course, speculation.

THE BOULDER FEELS CONFLICTED
