question for the floor: how pissed were you when that long ass list didn’t include getting hit by a brazilian coupe/draper’s favorite sport at #307?

i’m a devoted chipotle-holic (so obv. i think Jia’s chipotle blog was the apex of all writing humankind has produced thus far, and may never be surpassed). my question: has anyone tried the new chorizo? unfortunately, i do not live in any of the areas where it has been rolled out

i know he’s cute, but don’t let it affect your editing: “It’s been arguably effective (while Portugal are in the semis, they’ve also not one a single match all tournament in regulation time) and unmistakably dull.” /pedant

funny, i’ve been thinking about doing just this through general assembly. and as much as i agree with all the pros here, the downside to GA feels much steeper due to the high cost of a class ($3500 for 10 weeks of part time classes), and some “meh” feedback i’ve heard about the teaching there. while i recognize the…

i (very unironically) think that carly rae jepsen’s last album was a great one it would be one of the best pop albums if she/her writers wrote more than just pop fluff for its lyrics (and i recognize the contradiction in that sentence, but it would be pretty unique for a pop album not to have songs that deal so…
