I don’t know how old you are, but “Is SNL worse now?” is like playing “Does it hold up?” with anything you watched from the 80s and 90s. Audiences demand much more from movies and TV shows now. I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark the other day, and stuff I loved as a kid are now plot holes you could ride a U-Boat…

I assume it’s something to do with swirling the pot and the weird strands of egg white in the water. I’d never heard it either, and I’ve been on the internet since 1992.

Yep, “detox” programs are bullshit. I find there may be value to some people in doing a detox, because the act of following a regimen makes them feel like they’re doing something concrete to improve their health. But unless you’re malnourished (literally vitamin-deficient), nothing you can eat will improve your kidney…

It’s not exactly about a sexually active adult woman. It’s about branding and psychology.

Can’t they just be covered over with flesh-colored ink, the way you paint over a wall after a child draws on it? Is this really not a thing?

I don’t have direct experience, but my chemistry background suggests that would depend on your skill with solvent extractions.

It’s a blind spot for me, because that’s long been my assumption - of course the people who were here before the Europeans arrived taught everyone how to survive in these regions. It’s one of the few things we give them credit for, it’s part of the legend of Thanksgiving. But yes, we should continue to mention as part…

Things like this, where management’s non-existent concern for the bottom line means that it weighs decisions like “Do I fire an older worker who refuses to use the software we have installed to do our accounting and risk an ageism lawsuit or just continue to force the grunts to work around them?”

I don’t understand this concept at all. I understand the negatives of appropriating cultural behaviour, but are we treating knowledge as cultural now? How should I acknowledge the originators of algebra when I’m doing calculations?

Excellent article!

I know I’m late to the party, and I’m not well-read on the social dynamics that fostered modern home design, so I won’t comment on any of that.

This whole column felt like bad sports radio. “[Player X] needs to shut up about his problems because he makes a lot of money! I’d gladly put up with his problems for half of that money!”

“And the one and only time that he did try to kiss me, I said, ‘No. Bill, you’re my friend.’ He goes, ‘You’re right. Good night.’

The thought of “Dolly Parton, sexual tyrannosaurus” makes me happy. Go get you some Bublé, Dolly!

Thank you! This is a perfect example of the bad faith idiocy that “Defund the police” leads to as a slogan.

I know for a fact that Selena Gomez’s kidney donor was Justin Bieber’s mom. God, I wish that I had my phone so that I could prove it.

Si, si! I’m very intrigued.

I would love to see a few writers talk about pros and cons of different options to replace T’Challa. I tend to lean toward new character, because:

The only reason this is controversial is that people think that things “get dirty” as if it’s a state of being, like cooties.

Now that I can get behind—but next time, make the message clear right out of the gate, alright?
