“Because he is a terrifyingly jolly galoot who is on a life-long winning streak, he was pretty chill about the whole thing.”

He is above the law because the ONLY way to get rid of a bad president is by IMPEACHING THE MOTHERFUCKER or by VOTING HIM OUT OF OFFICE. For Christ’s sake, he is the boss of all of the US Attorneys. 

I, on the other hand, do have $60K, and I will take it elsewhere.

Let it be a death match. 

Jack Crosbie, please let us know your science credentials. I’d be grateful to hear about the science topics you’ve studied, the institutions you studied at, the people you’ve worked with, the papers you’ve published, where you went to graduate school, where you went for your postdoctoral fellowships, etc.

Well, Asian Americans are often regarded as not being “people of color” because they’re not a “disadvantaged” minority. See, for example, all of the griping about Asian Americans taking most (73%) of the spots at Stuyvesant High School. This makes them strange bedfellows with aggrieved whites as another “privileged”…

I feel terrible that this didn’t instead happen to people leaving a Trump rally. 

Five years sounds a little extreme — your average offroading douchebag does far more damage to fragile desert flora of our parks that this woman could do to the hard granite of Mt. Rushmore. And the carvings on Mt. Rushmore aren’t even a natural feature. 

The United States today basically doesn’t believe in international law and that has been the position of the US since before Trump (see, for example, the US’s long refusal to sign numerous multilateral treaties such as the International Criminal Court statute and the Convention on the Rights of the Child). So this is…

Boston has this thing called the T. And there’s a commuter rail line that goes out to Needham.

But shouldn’t people get paid on the basis of their performance, not on the basis of gender or age or whatnot? That is a merit-based system. The USWNT athletes should get paid for their performance, yes, but in the world of sports business, performance is ultimately measured by the size of the audience that the…

Did you say front bottom?

Defendants settle cases all the time when they just want the problem to disappear, even if they think they would probably win in court.

No animal could possibly survive a spin cycle but it sounds like the spin cycle was stopped due to load imbalance.

Search a little harder. Melania Trump is a horrid person who happens to be a white American mother, but if you trash all white American mothers, you’re talking about my mom, and you’re talking about this mom:

I’m not Dutch but I do have Dutch envy, which originated from spending a few days at a physics conference in Amsterdam and then getting on a KLM flight with statuesque blonde flight attendants who casually rattled off the flight safety instructions in Dutch, English, French, and German.

the official stance of the Funbag is now that mayonnaise is awesome and delicious and one of our finest condiments and makes just about everything better. Mayo forever.

They don’t match because Emilie’s shirt has a horrid, huge Prada logo on the left breast. No thank you. Buy nice clothing to look nice, not to advertise the brand. 

I’m more astonished that the closet isn’t filled with stuff.  Who are these people? 

Well, the idea is that 0 to 100 Fahrenheit is basically the entire range of ordinary weather temperatures. It’s also a finer scale than Celsuis (by about a factor of two), so that saying the temperature is going to be in the 20's C is not as useful as saying that the temperature is going to be in the 70's F.
