Scrolled down to make sure that this had been noted. Picoult is an awful, no good, very bad writer. I used to go out after work nearly every night when I was in my 20's. I would generally go to free/nearly free arts events. Sometimes they were amazing, sometimes not so much.   

I would also support V for Vendetta.  Maus, Persepolis and Fun Home are also great!

The absolute, bottom of the pile worst. 🤢🤮

I’m guessing it is Splinter or Deadspin refugees. My number of crazy-hostile gray comments has sky rocketed since those sites closed. Apparently, they don’t realize that we can just laugh, and Poof! Be gone.

The protesters are the real American Heroes. That is all.

But that is also the cost of actual milk in the US too. Grass-fed, organic milk is $6.50 per half gallon or $11 per gallon (though it is only usually sold by the half gallon.) How do I know? Other half won’t consume the other stuff, which he calls chemically-based sugar water. We don’t eat cereal anymore, so our milk…

This is the real story: In the US, farmers tried to independently produce their way out of a price drop. Basic economics dictates that a non-demand driven raise in supply predictably further lowers prices. Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat. In Canada (socialism, gasp!) protects farmers through a dairy quota system that…

FTFY: Tea with milk is gross.

Never forget:

Thanks for the book tips!  I came for depressing news of bigotry, but left with two new books to read.  Silver linings during dark days, I suppose...

And a killer tailor.  Dude looks great!

I have two 20+ year old pairs of Docs (10 eye black boots and cherry red three eye shoes) AND black pull-on Blunnies. I am apparently #teamfancyshitkickers4life

Thought to ask....nearly threw a temper tantrum over a sticker like a small child

My thought process - why does she have two people on her Twitter pic? Why is that white lady creeping around in the bottom corner? Just crop her out, like a normal human on the interwebs. *OH NO* - this is the account of the white lady? She just made the whole “because I have a black friend” meme into her profile pic.…

I teach young adults and this stuff drives me up the wall. The faux babygirl voices, the learned helplessness, the manic pixie dreamgirl gestures - do I look like your pervy old white dude professor? (Hint: No, no I do not.) Why would you think this would work on me? (I have to assume it usually does. Why would it…

Last election, I turned in my ballot and went to get my sticker. They had just run out, and said that someone else was going to get more, but it would be a few minutes. Me: “I’ll wait.”

Excuse yourself from these people. They sound awful. I would block them on social media and ignore their awfulness. Enjoy your life and your windfall, and don’t waste another second on these people. Enjoy the family you picked through marriage and friendships.  My 2¢.

I am happy to listen to ads at the beginning (note: not the end) of podcasts and streaming vlogs. I know that the effort to make the service is high, and I want the content producers to be paid. I don’t think 1-2 ads at the beginning of your podcast is out of line AT ALL with the reminder that sponsorships and ads help…

The textile district in Tokyo is my dream vacation. Can’t wait to hear (and see some photos) about your trip!

So happy to see you here!  I know you are an editor now, but I miss your writing.  Happy belated SNS!
