Hasn’t stopped them before. 

For me, I would also add:

Two things: if you were doing a diy version, a pop-up greenhouse (about $25) is a closer match than a bedspread bag. I used one of these to do a DIY rain cover for the back of my cargo bike.

Honestly, though 2016 was 80 percent about race, it was also 20 percent about misogyny. (Made up numbers, but perhaps you get my point.) For some subset of men, benzes and ak-47s and bitch make me a sandwich is an addiction that will make them shoot themselves in the dick otherwise. Black men are no less weak to that…

Becky’s not sharp enough.

Laura’s just mad that her leopard skirt NY Times spread didn’t land her any magazine covers. She’s blonde and thin! How dare someone “ethnic” get what she wanted.

about LW2, I’m of two minds.

The good news is that while white men are pretty much where they were four years ago, white women are finally getting the memo. Too little too late, obviously, but hopefully this shitshow has radicalized us permanently.

Between this and Edward Scissorhand, Diane Wiest was one of my favorite character actors of that period.

Good to know. I didn’t catch that one because I hadn’t been impressed with Nam Joo Hyuk, but I’ll give it a shot.

I know it’s not as good taste-wise, and I’ll occasionally sliver garlic for recipes that really need it. But I’m all about whatever gets me cooking, and pre-minced garlic was one of those things that really lowered the barrier for cooking every day. So between takeout and cooking with pre-minced garlic, I’m 100…

There is some adage about this. I don’t remember it exactly, but it goes something like, a quarter of people are monsters, a quarter are angels, a quarter are neutral, and a quarter are waiting for someone to tell them what to do.

I left Jez a long time ago due to this sort of thing (among other things). I don’t care one way or another about Taylor Swift (although The Man is legitimately hilarious and awesome), but the way they deified her and then ... whatever this is here. So tiresome, so small.

I started buying pre-minced garlic, and I will never go back.

I think you need to switch those and/ors to straight up ands.

However, it would be disheartening to believe that every single last one of the people who voted for Trump is a shitty person because *gasp* that would be a frighteningly high percentage of all Americans that are shitty and ‘deplorable’.

No kidding

Ive heard this. I read a fascinating article some time ago about co-op grocery stores popping up in otherwise pretty red rural areas, a response to the problem of keeping people fed in a situation where the capitalist interest is not enough to support a profitable business.

I grew up in the rust belt and left for the Northeast corridor in college. I went to my 10 year HS reunion (so like, everyone wasn’t even 30 yet) and everyone but my little group of friends had turned into weeble wobbles.

Yeah no shit. I haven’t felt this targeted since Freaks & Geeks.
