The thing that drives me crazy about modern claims of authenticity are that they almost inevitably ignore how fast and loose the actual people cooking stuff back in the day were about their ingredients. You get people who insist that this dish can never have that ingredient, but if you could go back in a time machine,…

Why would a black person want to eat in a restaurant that didn’t want to serve him?

Your comment suggests that we have not come that far at all.

I have a friend who’s really gorgeous, like, shockingly beautiful. She came to me crying once because, yet again, some professional colleague attempted to turn their working relationship into a sexual one. It wasn’t as aggressive as this piece of work here, but it happened again, as it had happened so many times…

BUT HOW HUMAN BE MORE THAN ONE IDENTITY SAME TIME? HOW WOMAN HAVE THOUGHTS? WHY WOMAN SPEAK? HOW IS BABBY FORMED? HOW MY NAME ANCIENT EMPEROR? TRUMP2016!

I don't personally have children but I've seen enough Lifetime movies to know that those "Au Pairs" are nothing but baby thieving monsters. Enjoy your kidnapping nightmare, ladies.

Maybe it’s heartless but my reaction is yay there are still wild mountain lions! Koalas are cute and all, I guess, but the world isn’t running out of ‘em. Team P-22.

Team mountain lion. Koalas smell funny and are surly.

But the thing is, how do you know if the person is healthy or not?

Also I’m not sure if it’s a typo or what but ‘stair daggers’ made me chuckle.

If it doesn’t feel like it’s rewriting my DNA on the fly, my pre-workout isn’t Xtreme enough.

...and here come the comments which both completely prove the point of the article and justify its existence!

If you’re stupid enough to ask such a dumb question, the answer for you is no, because you’ve demonstrated that you have the social IQ of a grapefruit and would be incapable of doing it respectfully. Men who think “don’t ask your coworkers out” is a reasonable guideline for the sake of making women feel safe at work…

What are you tassaultking about

My uncle who was a Lakers season ticket holder in the 70s and 80s, watching Curry in the Playoffs last year: “Yeah he’s pretty good, he has the handles of Isaiah Thomas, and the shot of Jerry West. Damn if only Jerry had had a 3-point line we would’ve had a couple more banners.”

I think “intellectually curious” is putting a good spin on his tendency to ask “What is that?” when presented with everyday objects, like telephones or clams or sprinklers.

Jesus Christ, could they all just hump his corpse and be done with it?

I’d check this guy’s house for other items of interest. Maybe he has a propeller off of Amelia Earhart’s plane, or the clothes Jimmy Hoffa was wearing when he disappeared.

They believed she was the most marketable light-skinned black actress for the role. And just read all the other comments. Nina’s complexion and features played a huge role in her life. To give the role to an actress who benefits from her conventional beauty makes a mockery of Nina’s legacy.

Um..

Well, I do like to think that my classes are interesting, seeing as how I spend hours each week thinking about how to sequence the material, present it to students, engage them, and assess student learning. But I’m never going to get 100% of my students to think that the class is great and interesting, particularly…
