I once mooned Marine One from the Washington Monument (not inside it, but the area around it) as it flew overhead to land at the White House at like 1 a.m. with Bush aboard. Still one of my proudest moments.

Also, after having been diagnosed with and recovering from cancerous lesions on his liver and brain.*

I love him and Rosalynn so, so, much. Did you see their wedding photo from a week ago? They’re only 21 and 18, but look more grownup than I’ll ever feel. And, uh, and they were both hot in totally wholesome ways.

People in NJ have been putting up with his shit for decades. We know flipping him off does no good. We gave up a long time ago.

It’s true. That is why he thinks he is doing a great job.

Meanwhile across the pond: big congrats to Spain’s Garbine Muguruza who just won the women’s finals at Wimbledon. This makes her the only woman to win against both Williams sisters (she won over Serena at last year’s French Open and Venus today).

I love how Jimmy Carter is building houses at the age of 92 (after collapsing due to dehydration) at the same time this guy needs a break from being President.

Just sitting here waiting for SNS, and I get Trump’s ass instead.

Hi, notenoughcoffee. An interesting statistic is that the first Jews to arrive in the United States were actually from the Northeast of Brazil (which area had been long held by the Dutch).

OT, but would you guys mind covering Maryam Mirzakhani’s death? She was the first woman to win the Fields Medal (which Jez covered 3 years ago), basically the highest honor in math, and died at 40 of cancer today.

Gang, let’s play “Spot the Nazi”.

In terms of ethnicity? Gisele Bündchen? She’s German like many from Rio Grande do Sul.

While some current members generally seem okay with it, some holdouts are definitely deflated. Yeah. I said it.

My thoughts exactly. I’ve lived “open concept” my whole life. One foot in the living room, one foot in the kitchen, two steps from my bedroom. All of the cooking and living smells circulate. Give me a classy house where every activity is cut off from the other ones. I would like privacy.

Tiny houses are upper middle class poverty fantasies. Same with “open concept” floor plans. You want to live in a small house and “do with less” ? Do it while making poverty wages 

That’s supposed to be “Tiny Homicide.” “Tiny Hoicide” is something entirely different.

I think I saw one tiny house episode where it was dad buying a tiny house on wheels after the divorce. “The kids will love it! We’ll travel all around the country having adventures!”

My husband and I have a running joke...the tiny house trend will inevitably lead to the home owners falling into murderous rages. Then ID will have a new show... “Tiny Homicide.”

Maybe she’d care more about the welfare of her workers if they looked less like this:
