I’m a man, so I can’t help you with specifics, but anything linen that is fairly lightly woven should work well. Linen wicks, where as cotton tends not to; I avoid cotton when it’s hot.

I tend to run hot, so I bought several un-lined linen and fresco (a very thin, loosely woven wool) suits, for the summer. I wear them over “performance” dress shirts, and wear very thin silk socks. People see me wearing one of these suits on a hot day, and they say the same thing: “how can you stand the heat?” I…

That was precisely my thought.

It’s in the article.

As a white man, I will say again what I’ve been saying for years: Bill Maher is a piece of shit.

For some reason, this issue of hostile xenomorphs has emerged as a paramount issue for the colonists of Hadley’s Hope and around LV-426.

Jail probably makes for a better comeback.

What is the last thing Jamie Foxx was in?

The human race will be extinct before any GT3 is $30,000.

North Korea is not a Patron of Beijing, it’s a client.

I’m not even going to bother to read this word vomit. If it ain’t against the rules, it’s in the rules. PERIOD.

You are very welcome. Keep enjoying the show! I have been pleased as punch; I would have thought this was un-filmable.

The book is one of my favorite pieces of contemporary literature. The scene in the show was confusing, for sure. I had this same conversation via text with friends, last night. :)

He doesn’t become the Jinn; the Jinn stole his life to go back to the middle east, and the salesman is left with the taxi driver identity, which the Jinn had stolen before. Since Americans are super racist, nobody is going to notice the difference, so he can just drop right in (though I bet the first couple hundred…

American Gods is one of my favorite pieces of contemporary fiction. I would have considered it unfilmable, before seeing the show. I don’t think we could ask for a better adaptation.

Lube job.

I got divorced last summer, and I was kinda sad about not having a “normal” Thanksgiving, in 2016. Then I thought about it, and realized that the divorce was a positive if it meant that I didn’t have to sit there and listen to evangelicals (my ex-wife’s family) convince themselves that they voted for the right…
