Among other musings, Fisher wrote: “I’m going to say it—Rape isn’t an absolute bad, because the rapist I think probably likes it a lot.”

At Easter, my step dad actually quoted the Art of the Deal to me, and told me I should read it because it had good advice like, “always make your most outrageous demand at the beginning of the negotiation!”

From TNR:

Not excusing any of this behavior but it seems like a trend across all airlines. Can anyone speak to flight attendant hours/working conditions? Again not that it excuses any anger or aggression but could be underlying factor.

Friendly reminder to fly Virgin America, Alaska, or JetBlue

Honestly whichever candidate runs on a platform of airline regulation in the next presidential election is the one I will vote for. Where the hell is the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt when you need him?

The only Trump to feel any sympathy toward is Barron. He needs to be raised as far away from his father and siblings as humanly possible.

Eastern European mail-order brides—and let’s not kid ourselves, that’s what Melania is for all intents and purposes—generally are very good at keeping up appearances and staying in loveless marriages to get what they want.

How do you squeeze juice? With your hands?

But also, why the hell would a juice press need four tons of force? Is it juicing granite boulders or some shit?

Doug Evans, the company’s founder, would compare himself with Steve Jobs in his pursuit of juicing perfection. He declared that his juice press wields four tons of force—“enough to lift two Teslas,” he said.
