I’m sad for you. Reno is 200 miles from San Francisco, and no one can make good bread? I’m shocked! Did the sourdough yeast not survive the trip over the Sierra Nevada? Maybe the high elevation and dry climate are bad for leavening? I feel like this is an opportunity to open up a decent bakery in the Biggest Little…

I’d add that Chelsea Manning spent seven years in incarceration, whereas Joe Arpaio, as far as I know, spent zero days behind bars for repeated violations of the constitutional rights of a lot of people, has refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing, and hasn’t learned a thing from this except how to get away with it. His…

Same! I had no idea either. I’m near 12th and take my retriever to the Seger dog park regularly. If Embiid comes back again to snatch souls, I might forget I even have a dog.

For the love of God, Montresor!

This. In California, many if not most restaurants will charge for corkage since they usually already have their own wine lists. A few of them will waive the fee for one bottle. But in Pennsylvania, where I live now, many restaurants don’t have the license to sell bottles and won’t charge you if you bring your own.…

I’m sorry you went through that. Bullying sucks, but it’s somewhat understandable (although, again, not OK) that kids will often single others out for being different. Being a grown man and threatening to call the police on people while deploying racist insults is completely out of bounds.

Maybe they watched American Psycho and thought it was a documentary.

$2.20 fried hot dog at Rutt’s Hut in Clifton, New Jersey. Just saying.

I call bullshit. You can get them for free at Wawa without flirting with the cashier. I suspect you have ulterior motives besides condiments.

I understand why someone would feel this way, but what would you have Ronan Farrow do? Work on this topic for free? Abandon the book and turn all his research notes over to someone who has been harassed and abused and let her write it? Does this mean writers and journalists cannot write about other painful topics such…

This needs more crying Jordan and crying LBJ pics.

No worries. However, I’m having second thoughts about my comment considering the subject matter, which is not a joke. Sorry if I’ve caused offence.

I like your Stones reference, but the team president’s name is Rod Wood, not Ron, and I am low-key disappointed that you missed the obvious dick joke.

Since you asked: initially Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said the officers followed policy and did nothing wrong. A few days later, after reviewing the facts, he called it an “unfortunate incident, an incident that I fully acknowledge I played a significant role in making worse,” with his comments, and…

I can’t even call Highsmith’s comment a “take” because even a bad take has a point. This is just confusing. Is this some kind of coded dog-whistle that no one can hear?

Well, it worked, didn’t it? Did you not see all the good luck rituals enacted by Robert DeNiro in Silver Linings Playbook? Gosh, it’s like you’re not even reading the signs.

Are you sure it wasn’t scrapple and maple syrup? Or, you know, soft pretzels and wooder ice?

I prefer sour, Jewish-style pickles to sweet ones. I have a friend who loves bread & butter pickles so much that he puts them on pizza. He hosted a pizza party and casually dropped bread & butter pickles all over the finished pie. So I picked them off before I ate a slice.

I remember when Sandra Oh won a SAG award for Grey’s Anatomy in 2006, she took pains in her acceptance speech to thank Shonda Rimes for casting her and to share her award with her fellow Asian American actors and to encourage them. I thought that was classy. For a long time she has publicly supported more and better…

You’d expect that someone elected twice to the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, where the Constitution was drafted, would know that, wouldn’t you?
