I know. I was mocking him. Half of my family is a bunch of Italian immigrants that came here with nothing. We had lots of capicola. That’s why when I see people paying $15+ for that shit just because it’s “imported from Italy”, I usually laugh because I can go home to a legit Italian food shop and get it for at…

I think Salt was the closest to a normal dressed woman.

Multiple institutions stateside participate in white supremacy. Everything feels naked now because no one can truly hide their disdain for anything anymore.

James Bond wears a tuxedo in almost every Bond movie. He also checks into every hotel under his real name. Is that either practical or logical? No, it isn’t, but it is part of the allure. Same with the boots and the sex scene in Atomic Blonde.

Funny thing is, something like soppressata isn’t even bougie. The working-class dude who lived across from my old man and painted locomotives for GE until he retired used to make some of the best soppressata I’ve ever had in my damn life. And he made it in his basement.

Yep. Ironically, it wasn’t the “liberal elite” who gave the you-are-not-welcome-here message in this instance - it was David Brooks.

And yet there are so many other scenarios that could have led to the HS only pal’s discomfort, that Brooks is deliberately omitting. Like maybe he farted, really hard. Or maybe he asked for oral sex, since as a HS only grad she needs to supplement her income. Or maybe she just had a sudden epiphany that Brooks is a…

Aside from Ole El Paso, New York City isn’t known for its Mexican food.

ALL THE STARS FOR YOU

I submit that there is no such thing as a ‘striata baguette’ - at least not here in Italy.

Where he’s completely missing the point though is that the stuff in those sandwiches is perfectly normal working class Italian immigrant food, in a sandwich shop gussied up for yuppies. If his alleged “friend” had a different ethnic background and he took her to a gourmet taco place, there would have followed the…

Well, I guess I am relieved that my grandfather — a poor farmer who immigrated from Italy to Canada at age 18, and was decidedly working class his whole life — has passed, because if he heard that soppressata and cappocollo are considered gourmet foods, he would probably laugh himself to death.

Excuse me but FUCK THIS SHIT TRUMP JR. JUST RELEASED INCRIMINATING EMAILS AGAINST HIMSELF ON TWITTER:

Well, we actually do know why, don’t we? Because she doesn’t exist. Kinda like my old hi-skool girlfriend from Canada.

The telling thing here is that Brooks has only a bachelor’s degree.

Could be worse, you could be a taxi driver who just picked up Thomas Friedman.

soppressata, capicollo and a striata baguette.

That passage may be the single dumbest thing I think I’ve ever read. I could feel parts of my brain shutting down while reading it. Are we sure this isn’t some parody?

This fucking guy.
