Friend who bought a 2021 Crosstrek Limited in Oct apparently lucked out, including with “just” a 5% dealer markup (negated on paper by other savings/things thrown in) as another local dealer was 10%.

One can argue all one wants about the very real issues with monarchies and in particular the British Royal Family, but c’mon not everything out of their mouths is worthless or invalid just because of who they are. And while far from the same thing as us plebs quitting our own jobs for mental health, I’m quite sure that…

Something similar happened to a former coworker on 95 in South Florida. A car next to her changed lanes into her vehicle and she lost control and went sharply perpendicularly left. (Un)fortunately for her, there was a semi next to her and she ended up wedged under it but not as deeply as this Honda. She briefly…

I mean, look what happened to Moonbase Alpha way back in 1999....

Not that the other Bourdain books/documentaries haven’t also done so, but we need more correctives like this to the tiring and pervasive current narrative that famous people (hell—all human beings) are either only GOOD GOOD GOOD or BAD BAD BAD. Way too reductive for how people are in reality. Most humans can be…

The snark round these parts is not only getting tired, it is not even particularly engagingly done.

PS: I’m curious what happened over the weekend at G/O Media with the lack of posts at least here, including no Saturday Night Social.

You missed multiple opportunities to use “noggin” [sad face]

Here’s Biden’s full comments, just for the record:

I will be honest and state this is a big reason that I didn’t follow in the footsteps of other family members in joining the military.  Absolutely. No. Way.  I’d be holding it until 2 AM.

I’m so on board with this. I poop in the master bath, the other half poops in the guest bath (when we are sans guests, natch), and all is good in the world. In particular because one of us (cough cough me) is much more careful about cleaning up any, well, evidence left behind. I don’t want to be staring at that shit…

No credit for that amazing painting??

Between the Festival reviews and this longer trailer, this continues to look really good. Just like Larraín’s Jackie, this seems to be more of an interpretive and impressionistic (versus factual biography) take on Diana and from the trailer, that includes Kristen’s performance which at times looks/sounds uncannily…

There’s Something Wrong with Aunt Diane. Not scary in a horror movie sense, but probably one of the most disturbing documentaries I’ve watched in years.

Twice now in a couple days on here I’ve had to see that always very punchable face now creepily full of Botox and fillers!

[runs screaming away]

Oh c’mon, Rich...of all the bullshit targets around 9/11 and you pick this??? This seems extra super petty and worst of all, unnecessary.

I’ll counter argue that throwing humans together in stressful situations where they must work together to survive or even just to “survive” like here will lead to connections that probably won’t last in more routine situations. I can think of a lot of my own history of being attracted both physically and emotionally…

I didn’t know that bunched up or saggy socks can trigger false alarms. This explains a lot...I often get pulled aside for a manual feel up of my ankles when wearing pants and am always confused why since I’m typically wearing loafers or sneakers and not some heavy clunky boot.

Imogen Heap’s music both under her name and her early nom de plume (de microphone? collaboration?) Frou Frou are highly underrated.

Case in point:

The more limited scope of this docuseries is a good way to focus on the immediate impact of what happened in NYC. And, it is important the stories continue to be told. But, just like many of other commenters, I won’t be watching it. While I didn’t directly know anyone who worked in the Towers or were on any of the…

My other half will only wear leather-soled shoes on flights because (only half humorously) “man-made materials will melt if we have to evacuate the plane due to fire”.
