Guys like this understand the concept of context about as well as the understand the concept of free speech and when it applies. As in, not at all.

I think we need to develop lyrics for a Hanging Chad rap, a la Sir Mix-a-Lot. I’ll start:

I like big ball and I cannot lie...

This is what really bothers me about photos taken posing with dead animals. The perpetrators seem so proud of themselves for killing a defenseless animal that was minding its own business. Hey if you want to hunt and/or fish and have a plan to responsible consume your prey, go for it. But standing there with a stiffy…

I can see how it appears that way to you, Julia, and maybe I don’t even entirely disagree. I just don’t think his role as a talk show host necessarily obligates him to grab his guests by the collar and rhetorically shake them when they are assholish. He is, after all, in the entertainment business, and if he shut down…

I saw the same interview. Bill laughed along, sure, but I got a definite undercurrent of discomfort. Moby later said some even more outrageous thing about the desirability of killing young people, and Bill diverted the conversation VERY quickly.

But I think we both agree Moby is an raging asshole!

Would it change your mind at all if you knew he played Touch The Knob on Donald Trump? Because I was Moby interviewed by Bill Maher recently and that’s one of the stories he told.

You all have missed something that is incredibly obvious to me. Cruz has no hair on that spot because it is a chin graft. He clearly was born without one, after all.

I am Team All Crossbody. All the time. To the point that I won’t even buy bags that also have the short vestigial arm crook handles I’d never use.

Oh yes, I watched UnREAL. Its first few seasons were a hoot and give plenty of insights into this bizarre world. Later it got way too weird and unrealistic, if you can believe such a thing. I think they ran out of good ideas in the end.

Had I downed a shot of booze every time Chris Harrison referred to Colton’s virginity last night, I wouldn’t be alive to type this right now. Plus by the end of the season that shit was soooooo tired and beaten to death. I mean, we get it, he hadn’t had sex (supposedly).

I swear there had to have been major collusion…

Nah, probably a group of off-the-grid fundies. Read Tara Westover’s “Educated” if you want to understand how deep this sort of avoidance runs. It’s simultaneously maddening and chilling.

I don ‘t disagree. I’d just hate for someone who acts like she does to be the first woman president. And since there will likely be other women I can vote for (or men who are excellent allies), I’ll sleep fine with my choice.

“But should those women use their power to throw binders, humiliate their staff, and threaten career retaliation? Jury’s still out, apparently.”

This juror just returned from her lunch break.. Because of Klobuchar’s behavior, I will not vote for her in the Democratic primary for my state if she is still running at…

I had the same issue with Dawn! But since I was the cook and my ex the dishwasher, he insisted on using only Dawn. :-(

I’m an old who never saw Rent before last night. I thought it was pretty good. Sure the concept is suspect, but I thought the production was fine, much like the Jesus Christ Superstar last year. Fight me!

Co-signed. And at least in my case, each year when I get the shot, I feel crappy for less time than I did the year before. The first time I felt crappy for about a day. But I got this year’s shot last Thursday around 12 noon. At 2 pm I felt a little off. By 5 pm I was back to normal.

Yes, that depressing thought also occurred to me.

This sounds eerily familiar. You wouldn’t be talking about the World’s Greatest University, right?

Alas, I think we may have seen the last of Necco Wafers. The Boston area factory that made them was shuttered earlier this year. RIP. Sniffle.

Fair enough. I agree food waste is a big issue. And I too don’t hold hyper-strictly to a lot of the food safety standards I was taught back in the day. I just responded to your original post the way I did because it seemed pretty cavalier on the surface. Still, I’d rather use some tried and true policies to guide my…
