I’ve done way more word processing then I care to admit. I have never found a word processor that does anything nearly as well as Word. If you need to have complete control over the formatting of your document to submit your thesis (hundreds of footnotes, hundreds of pages, tables of contents and citations that change…

Holy shit - this is just a straight forward informative post explaining the answer to an interesting question. Well done.

I feel weird for liking Hillary Clinton. I knows it's an unpopular position. She reminds me of my mom in a good way.

Yeah! Fuck Science!

This. Now THIS is some intelligent, high-level trolling.

I would gladly take this over the airplane for preference. the airplane is all told a couple hours of weak productivity at best. And will always be time dedicated to traveling. This is a full night sleep, for less than the flight or a bad hotel room in either city. If these things went all over the country it would be…

This one of the most even-handed and accurate assessments that Gawker Media has published to date. If even half of their coverage was like this, I think we’d all be better informed. Nuance is a big deal, and something that is easily missed when it comes to election sloganeering.

This is all well and good, but I think we know what really killed the dinosaurs...

Maybe this.

I always subscribed to this explanation. [thanks Mr. Larson]

It always amazes me how some people have absolutely no survival instincts whatsoever.

The epilogue was actually, I think, the most important part of the series. In a way, throughout the entire run, Harry Potter had been searching for a father. He had a father who wasn’t there (james) and one that never told him any secrets (Dumbledore), one who cared but showed him no affection (Snape) and one who…

yo, that was pretty weird, but we’re back in the club.

And she doesn’t take his shit, as far as I can see. I’m actually really pleased that Fox stood up for her (given the Breitbart shitshow, that wasn’t a guarantee). At the same time, I have the feeling that Trump is all the chickens coming home to roost for Fox, and they seem to be out of their minds that they can’t use…

It’s about her being female, successful, and hot. She looks like the kind of woman he’s used to buying as either a fucktoy or a trophy wife, but instead of kissing his ring and batting her eyelashes at him, she, you know, asked him some mildly tough questions which anyone running for President should be able to…

Honestly, you see guys like Donald Trump all the time: self-proclaimed “ladies man” talking about the pussies they crush, the money they make, how they take no shit because they’re real men. And yet, all it ever takes is someone to show how full of shit they actually are, and that facade comes crumbling down. And we…

I’m your mother’s age—mid-sixties. I need to point out that the 60's, when your mom was a hippie, weren’t exactly a utopia of gender equality. The decades since have put a burnished glow of nostalgia on that era. But I was there. I can tell you with no reservations, in spite of some steps toward equality, the 60's and…

And this is exactly why I love GoT— as in life, nothing is easy, nothing is clear cut, and the decisions made echo down for years and years and years. Absolutely fascinating.

He was a partner in the Houston office of my law firm prior to running for Congress. Despite being largely conservative and Republican, everyone in the office (and the firm, generally) loathed him, so much so that to this day, no one wants to use his former office. It’s considered tainted.
