I’ll miss your writing, Kate. Your beer articles got me to branch out and try some types that I might have otherwise skipped. Turns out that kolsches are good. Who knew? Oh wait, you did. I’d say happy trails but maybe it’s more of a see-you-around if you’ll still be around the comment section. Thanks for everything.

Incomplete. Where’s that damned cat?

I agree that perhaps his original tweet was not newsworthy (hence why we didn’t write about it earlier this week), but when he’s given editorial space in one of the most-read newspapers in the country, that feels like it is news worth covering.

Tom Nichols is a dick.

He did slander a complete stranger, repeatedly calling him a child rapist, for no reason.

the people who will buy this thing don’t know why this test doesn’t make sense and probably don’t care. They’ll be perfectly happy commuting to their office job in it and looking smugly at other trucks on the road while thinking how superior they are to everyone else.

He said in the presentation that it’s a 2021 model year vehicle. Anyone would assume any other manufacturer was presenting a more or less finished vehicle, otherwise they’d just call it a concept car. Which is what this is.

This truck was a middle finger to all truck buyers. Musk is openly mocking the current trend of “rugged” and “tough” trucks. He turned it up to 11 and is now in the position of “well you wanted tough, you got tough” as if we are children. This guy has never been around work trucks before. He has never had to interact…

Imma just leave this here, best tweet of 2019:

Hang on, hang on, you’re telling me that Elon Musk, paragon of good decision making, posted an ill-planned video that didn’t actually make the point he was trying to make? Balderdash.

So you’re saying extra ballast aids in towing? We had not heard this. Honestly. 

I am well aware its not a myth. there are well documented uses for seizure medication as well as a few other purposes. You can look up several good articles on Cannabidiol on www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov alone.

I am one of the biggest stoners you find in your life, but i have to side with the FDA on this one. I’m so goddamn tired of my stoner friends trying to tell me i can dip my nuts in CBD oil to cure blue balls and other assorted (less satirical, but just as ridiculous) applications. I really wish they’d crack down on a…

LOL the sad “not all men” responses to your fairly innocuous and supportive post have just served to illustrate the point.

Thank you, I hope at least one person reads this and opens their eyes to how much more women worry about tone, while men just plow on through, not giving a shit how they make everyone else feel.

Do introverts hate everyone? Is that a thing?

alternatively, someone is letting you know that “ok” is potentially dismissive, and you’re going to complain about it. There aren’t rules - there’s just the way certain people receive something. 

And if you’re a woman, your work e-mail has to strike a very delicate, near-impossible balance between “friendly” and professional. Too light of a tone, and you’re not taken seriously because you’re a flighty woman. Write in a matter-of-fact way that’s similar to your male colleagues, and you’re a joyless ballbuster.…
