I’ve read them. Didn’t come across in the same way to me there, but YMMV, as always!

I want to try that browned butter technique. Smart!

Ugh, Euron. This show can’t seem to survive without having a savage male villain to chew the scenery in the most over-the-top way. Viserys is nasty, but oops, he’s dead, so here’s Joffrey. What a vicious little beast, amiright? But oops, he’s dead, so here, have a torturing sociopath named Ramsay. But oops, he’s dead,…

Don’t cosplay as social classes below your own, y’all. It’s not that hard.

I work with children’s museums and science centers, and I can’t tell you how many similar stories I could sing. Some museums are doing great work with their communities, but most just become playgrounds and vanity projects for the middle and upper classes. With all sincerity, thank you so much for trying. Somebody has…

Yep. My father died of dementia. This is all too familiar, including the paranoia. The biggest difference here is that my father didn’t have the ability to wipe out all life on the planet in his moments of extreme paranoid hallucinating. All he could do was grab a kitchen knife. So...yeah. The last six months haven’t…

That was such ham-handed intimidation, all I could picture was Al Capone with his baseball bat at dinner. I’m happy to see the Republicans eat their own and agree—that’s the best strategy the Dems have.

It’s possible? I’m in Florida, so I may have a skewed perception, because the “lost note” defense worked pretty successfully here (and in New York, I think). Also, as one of the largest foreclosure states, it may have seemed like a greater number since so many were happening. Since 2013, Florida requires that the…

Is it? Had no idea, thanks. But I totally agree that the “treatment” here sounds completely negligent.

This pleases me.

Totally concur. Jyn was a complete non-entity with almost no decent dialogue, poorly developed motivations, and a whole lot of angry-looks-as-acting direction. Every male character, including a robot, outshone her because of their superior dialogue and backstories. Felicity Jones can definitely act when given good…

I don’t think he’s there anymore, so maybe that’s where they come from? No idea. Guy Sports Culture seems to attract, create and support a very special kind of man, like Exhibit A here.

It would work if the Democrats had any skill at creating and commanding the messaging around major issues such as healthcare, but they’re utterly incompetent at it. Republicans would grab any success and spin it as their own (“Look, we made those Dems bow down to us”), and their supporters would lap it up yet again.…

“What if my wife’s taxi driver...” Lord, when you’re digging down that far to generate outrage and sympathy from your readers, you need to stop and get out of that hole your making.

Quite a few got tossed, especially for firms that had already folded. It just seems like a small number given the avalanche of defaulting that was happening.

Yeah, I can’t recall the NPR show, but they interviewed EMT and med workers who talked about heroin/opioid “parties” where it was the last man standing’s job to call 911 so they could all be revived with Narcan and go about their business. Jacked up indeed.

In what broken world is inflammation of the chest wall, words the doctor actually used, with an unknown cause in an otherwise healthy teenager something that you don’t need to worry your pretty little head about? Oh, wait, I know. That poor family.

I clicked through to his site and . . . yeah, he is exactly who you think he is. And a former editor at Deadspin, no less!

Thanks for the heads-up. Heading to a hiking vacation in October, and this is perfect timing.
