As long as cereal continues to exist, I’ll keep drinking milk.

The problem is semantic. For most of us, “burpees” include (a) chest to ground and (b) hands above head. What she’s doing looks hard (she must have a super strong core) but it isn’t what most of us know as a burpee. Maybe we’re doing “advanced burpees.”

It reminds me of Crossfit pull ups vs. everybody else’s pull ups…

My kids like to watch Youtube videos of other kids playing Minecraft, which seems like a terrible waste of time. That said, they’re still better than unboxing videos.

Everything you said, plus one more, minor thing: “Isabella Rossellini” is an all-time great name that is literally fun to say aloud.  

That’s an objectively terrible analogy that gives way too little credit to Westbrook (who is, at the very worst, one of the 10 to 15 best players at his profession) and way, way, way too much credit to Trump (who is, at best, a fucking turd of human being).

I love Boswell’s face, and I love boxers generally. They are the closest thing I’ve found to real-life stuffed animals.

Parker Posey is my older, internet girlfriend. I’ve had the hots for her ever since she berated freshmen in Dazed and Confused.

Diggins is an unreal athlete. Huge props.

Definitely worth listening to the audio.

I had not heard about the Four Barrel scandal. Bummer! Thankfully there are many other good choices.

Agreed. Frequent Yosemite visitor/climber, here. It sounds like it’ll be inside the Yosemite Valley Lodge. I very much doubt they will build a new structure. As far as I can tell, it’ll simply be replacing terrible coffee with bad coffee. Hopefully, as others have mentioned, we won’t see a glut of Starbucks paper cuts…

I think Novak just has “one of those faces.” But even in the unholy crucible of Jezebel sanctimony, I don’t recall hearing anything bad about him. And the dude is a great comedic writer as well as the author of my kids’ favorite children’s book (“The Book with No Pictures”). He and Kailing also seem to have some kind…

Yeah, I’ve been wanting a Grigri for a while but haven’t been able to justify one to myself because I had greater needs in filling out my rack. But I’d be stoked to receive one as a gift. Another quasi-luxury item would be a nice crag bag (if the climber doesn’t already have one). Normal hiking backpacks work okay,…

I agree with that. And I could see how partisanship could play a stronger role outside my own business-oriented civil practice—e.g., in criminal sentencing or issues with governmental immunity. But in most instances, I’m not thinking about the judge’s politics in my cases/hearings/motions.

I’d like to add that the most recent version of Apple’s standard Podcast app is hot garbage.

I’m a litigator who practices civil law in federal court. Honestly, at the district court level, the political inclination of the judge does not generally affect the outcome of the vast majority of my cases. (Federal appeals are another matter.) Most federal trial judges, regardless of their personal politics,…

Well said. What he didn’t wasn’t great. That’s clear. But he’s paid dearly for something that the vast majority of us have done at some point in our lives. (If you’ve immediately called out every person who has ever said something inappropriate in your life, you deserve sainthood and also probably a support group to…

I now understand the expression “leading with the chin.”

Judith Light did the same thing to Tony Danza on Who’s the Boss: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0747720/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv

Another tip: Never buy climbing shoes as a gift unless the recipient has told you exactly what to buy.
