It’s like “oriental.” Using it to describe a person is offensive and bad. Using it to describe a rug is fine.

I am (understandably I think) shocked she was still with us. Her books were an indelible part of growing up, particularly as I went to grade school just off the real Klickitat Street in Portland. Dear Mr. Henshaw was particularly important. Rest in Peace. I’m glad someone who gave so much of worth got to live so long.

Yeah, 2008 is a little bit old.

I found the script to be awful and the direction to be excellent. But the former made it very difficult to make it through the latter.

I did like the movie a lot, but characters of Konrad and Weaver were so baffling to me that their presence began to reduce the movie to me. They were probably the only characters there with no arcs, yet constantly prominent in the story. It was an instance where you could feel the studio note that you need a…

If you’re going to get Apple TV, Ted Lasso is the reason to do it.

It’s an adolescent Bigfoot ghost, ya seen one of ‘em ya seen a million of ‘em I swear.

It depends on the organization and the groups within them. I imagine the software company I work for would block this feature for most internal teams, but the solution architecture and customer success teams work with our clients all the time and might find this to be really useful.

So, were shitting on people trying to be healthy and live a good life now because it’s just a little too hippy dippy?

Exactly the kind of choppy cut up action I would expect from a tv budget and an action show featuring Queen Latifah. But at least the show will be utilizing Latifah’s considerable charm, it won’t be doing something stupid like casting her in a no nonsense role where she’s just a no nonsense one-note character all the…

Louisiana will probably be one of the first to go under the water given it’s elevation or lack thereof, so enjoy that I guess non elites?

His full name is Via Getty Arrested.

Oh, I’d go with the people who think every single old building in a city (no matter how decrepit or irrelevant) needs to be preserved (or at least use that attitude as a defense for their NIMBYism) are even worse than the book hoarders.

The Dig

For goodness sake, they just invaded the capitol! It's not like they looted a Target or burned a Wendy's! 

What do you mean?

The fact that letter one is about a child-parent relationship is a bit of a distraction.
