I love the Mars Cheese Castle.
“Please do not climb on mouse.” are words to live by. 

Are you coming for the Mars Cheese Castle? Because I’m WI adjacent and I am Cheese Castle or die!

For a moment I read that as “A wind cave is a pretty normal thing if you’re from NorCal” and I was like, “Really, more wind caves?” But I see now. Was his fundraiser in some kind of public wine cave? I come from a place where I have had beers under overpasses which is probably nothing like a wine cave so this whole…

I see what you did there. Smooth!

Fuck Cenk.

They all are. Buttigieg will be too, soon. She wasn’t rich at his age either. That’s the way it works with politics. Even broke-ass Trump is probably a lot richer than he used to be.

That is the way to deal with Buttigieg. I’m sure you are right. But I get dunking on him. I try to imagine feeling like at his age, after being the mayor of South Bend (sounds like dahncing!—with apologies to Hepburn), that I should be president. I see people comparing him to Obama like, “Obama had only been a senator…

It’s a good look for Beto. I think he probably has a future in politics? Who knows, though?

“With the blade guards on” is the most incendiary phrase I ever read. What? As a former figure skating gal I just can’t fathom someone making that mistake. WHAT? I know—there’s impeachment and rape culture and racism and I’m whatting over skate guards? But I what over those, too. Still, for me, it’s a sign of how…

“Get in bitches We’re going Couping.” is the best of a first-rate collection. So very good. 

I once bought a friend a $18 bar of soap from the New York branch of Takashimaya in New York. Not only was the soap wrapped in some amazing paper with a wire and rock decoration, but they placed it in a gold bag that was triangular and added some gold tissue. I didn’t even have to wrap it. It was the very best soap…

Proving once again that you can be incredibly smart and unbelievably stupid all at the same time. 

For years I’ve heard that we treat money, actual bills, differently than we treat our debit or credit cards. This was the year that I started giving myself cash money each pay day to spend over the next two weeks. Now, of course, I still pay my bills and everything else without cash, but for the nonrecurring expenses…

And marble. Don’t forget the marble and art glass. A little tapestry never goes amiss, either.

No, if that’s what I meant I would have said that. Duh. I think that’s what you meant. 

I think you don’t expect more of elected officials and those who choose to run for public office. I think you expect more of women who choose to run for public office or are elected officials. And you are not alone, many are with you. And that was the point of the article.

Yeah but she was a HOOOOOR! (some of the posters on this article, presumably.)

I don’t know if you watch the news but we have much, much worse in Congress. And by resigning she showed that she has a conscience.

I sort of get what you are saying? Except there is no level of crisis management that stops this train. And that’s the thing. When the misogyny comes for you? It will have you. So, this can be put down to the Democratic party not having support for her, but all the support in the world doesn’t change what she went…

I flew basic economy recently for a weekend—Chicago to Raleigh. It was adequate. But the fare (last minute) was good. I had a carry on for under the seat in front of me. That’s it. Fine for a weekend. Would not recommend for a longer flight (my flight was 2 hours) or one where you need that overhead. I’ll probably fly…
