Coincidentally (or not?), I’m planning a big trip to Escalante (and related Four Corners sites) soon. F’ing 45 all up in my bisniss. Not to mention Native Americans’ bidniss. He sucks.

Well said. Stars.

May I recommend you go to Williams Sonoma and buy yourself a good chef’s knife? I use mine for damn near everything. That, and ultra-sharp little paring knife (same store). Those two just about do it.

I get your deserved pride about a KitchenAid. I got one last week and damn that thing is a wonder. So. Happy.

Oh, right. I scaled back buying cheese after becoming single because the damn stuff would go bad before I could eat it all. Knowing how to keep it fresh longer lets me buy and store with confidence.

When can we talk about Garrison Keillor? My aunt lived in his neighborhood and said he was a jerk. And she’s the NICEST PERSON I’VE EVER KNOWN. P.S. and in the years since she made that remark I’ve never heard her say a critical or unkind thing about anyone else, ever.

I don’t read every teensy detail about every case, but some journalist recently wrote that most of these allegations have the weight of truth because a trusted friend or family member has sworn that the accuser told them of the harassment years earlier.

So good to know! I’d just about stopped buying cheese due to being a single. However, most of the cheese I buy is encased in plastic. What’s going on there?

I did it. Thanks for passing along the info on how to speak up to the FCC. So easy.

Bleh. Crappy titles.

Great article. I love IFTTT but can’t figure out how to set up a more complex applet that reliably makes an entry in a Google Sheet when I, say, arrive at/leave work (creating a timesheet, or perhaps a mileage log for tax time). I’m going to check out Workflow. Excited!

Other smart people recognize this as expectation management and I believe secretly resent it. I am so done with relating to others.

Also: shitty flats.

Word.

That’s why I love “I Love Dick.” When the Dick-obsessed protagonist’s husband (not named Dick) says, “Can you just stop (destabilizing their marriage)?” she replies, thoughtfully, sincerely, “No, I can’t.”

All men have skeletons in their closet. Our society is as fucked up as it can get right now.

His desperation to lure her inside is utterly chilling.

Fake news. Actually, not news at all. Clickbait.

Has anyone here been successful teaching a cat not to scratch a new piece of furniture? My 9-year-old Miette has a catnip-infused scratcher from Trader Joe’s, but he just likes to scratch all textures. For now, I’m just covering the couch at night and when I’m gone in the daytime. But it’s kind of a bummer cause I…
