DeVos was born the daughter of a billionaire, and married the son of a guy who got rich from a pyramid scheme. She could have easily spent her days counting her money while sitting on a yacht anchored next to a private island, but decided it was worth facing criticism in the public arena as the least qualified member…

Of course you should poke it with a stick, you don’t want to touch it with your hands, do you?

It was the gritty reboot we needed after The Best of All Possible Worlds Is Not Enough got too silly with Professor Pangloss’s various implausible spy gadgets.

This is a straight-up jam (the bass line is fantastic):

I would rate the Dinosaur BBQ as better than average. But the mall is lame and closes early, the cool kids know Wegman’s is open all night.

He was a political prisoner! He kicked a giant mouse in the butt, do I have to draw you a diagram?

I believe “shithole countries” is the preferred nomenclature.

Yes. A good neapolitan style crust has a pleasant chewiness to it that comes from the gluten in the flour. The GF places around me most often use chickpea flour as a substitute, and it has no elasticity, closer to a thick cracker.

Lead runner Matthew Centrowitz is giving his nipples a sensual massage at the end of a race, to the evident horror of Robby Andrews (second-place runner).

Minnesota chili starts as an ordinary chili, but then you add a packet of gelatin powder to it. Invert the chili pot and serve it on a platter like a salad.

That does sound good. I was going to come in here and tout my own invention, the “Low Country Pot Pie”, which incorporates the components of a low country boil (shrimp, sausage, corn, potatoes) into a pot pie crust.

Exactly! “We’re going to change the format of qualifying, to encourage athletes to compete more often!” “But also, we just eliminated events over 3000m from our most high profile meets!”

Ugh, they still taste like Cheez Whiz to me.

What I find most infuriating about Bonds is that you legitimately could- if we take ‘all-around’ to include Bonds being better at stealing bases, better at drawing walks and not striking out, etc. Batting average seems comparable between Griffey entering the league and the late 90's when Bonds was most likely juicing.…

With that kind of money, Trout could adopt a lot of sad puppies.

Science fiction pals Philip K. Dick and Ursula K. Le Guin are awkward to include, but you could at least include Tommy Lee Jones’s surly mentor Agent K.

I have that as well- it’s a cute idea, but the handles on the measuring spoons were too short to be practical.

Law enforcement is worried that if William H. Macy goes to jail, the Shoveler won’t show up to stop crimes. Others have pointed out that they’re clearly two different people, as Macy has a beard and the Shoveler does not.
