All day long yesterday, I was on the phone talking to people for work, and most of us didn’t (or couldn’t) even acknowledge what had happened. We just put our heads down and went ahead like every other day.

Very white. I think I knew what they were because I see those little plastic holders (do those have a name?) around my neighborhood. But I had no idea they were a thing in black culture.

We played “Here Comes My Girl” at our wedding. I’m getting a little choked up now just thinking about the lyrics.

The best moment is when Lucky tells Bobby about the wonders of a Frito chip, fresh off the line. When Bobby says he’d like to try one, Lucky responds, “Bobby, I will help you run down that dream.” For those who don’t know “Running Down A Dream”, is another magnificent Tom Petty song. It was an awesome little easter…

YUP. This is what people don’t tell you when you’re trying to decide whether to marry someone (at least, no one told me). You need to consider what you’ll need in a partner over the course of your whole life and it’s pretty likely that your sexual needs are going to change. Age is a factor, as are kids, a busy job,…

This is unbelievably horrible. Actually, no. Given where we are as a country, it’s very believable. And that’s the worst part.

Ooh—I’ll play! How about “What Never Happened”—A revisionist history ofHillary orchestrating covert ops to destroy Putin following her election.

EwEwEwEwEwEwEWWWWW!!!!!

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch of hopeless chain stores with ugly clothes.

Naw. You have to be actively trying to design a house this ugly.

This makes me think of the NYT Op-Ed today on rich guilt and how the rich rationalize their perception of themselves as “normal” because their point of comparison is crap like this.

there’s really no way to build a non-appalling 22,000-square-foot mansion?

What does it say about my sad, cynical heart that I immediately thought, “Oh God—they’re going to break up, aren’t they?”

I assume you meant notice and comment rulemaking? Because I’m pretty sure “notice-and-commit” is not a thing. Of course, rules don’t apply anymore and everything is chaos, so who the hell knows.

And, yes, Houston is multi-cultural blue city. And, no, Texas is not 100% Republican.

No.

I had to think long and hard about which “Nope” gif best captured my response to this. I’m going with this one:

I’m starting to think that, in the future, “red hats” will be the rhetorical equivalent of “brown shirts”.

I realize that middle names aren’t a thing in most cultures, but I’ve found the middle name to be an excellent way to honor various family members and/or buck the patriarchy. For example, my two boys each have one of their grandmother’s maiden names as a middle name. For imaginary third girl child, I’m thinking of…

And, by the way, Daniel Craig is 49. Gal Gadot is 32. Cate Blanchett is 48. I didn’t do the research to verify all the ages of Bonds through history, but I imagine someone a bit older in that role. Like, you’d need some experience to rise through the ranks like that.
