Yeah, you dump enough kibble and water into bowls and cats are basically immortal, more or less.

When teaching English abroad, I used a video that taught the science of cats because it had cats in it and so the kids would actually pay attention. What I learned from watching this video over and over: cats think of you as a very big, very dumb fellow cat.

"Just One of the Guys" is essentially a flawless work of genius and I am not kidding at all. "It's okay everyone; he has tits!" Just an amazing 80s movie.

I can't figure out who the Ringer is for. It's like, "Stuff Bill Simmons likes, the website." So, podcasts you won't listen to, really long essays about the Celtics, bizarrely intercut with jokes about old movies and discussions of Kanye.

No; it's rad.

Wow, a rat ripping up a garbage bag. NOW I'VE FUCKING SEEN EVERYTHING.*

"This thing that a woman said happened totally didn't happen and we will now proceed with making money. We also have a tape proving it didn't happen. No, you can't see it! Because shut up, that's why!"

Yeah, they eat your eyes first. Those adorable little bastards.

It's just that Objectivism is so incredibly stupid. I'm willing to debate and hear about many things, but the dumbest philosophy possible? Hard pass.

Cat-murderer.

"The Runaway Bunny": the best book ever about a delinquent bunny.

Yeah, she's a really good writer. I only read her early Hollywood stuff, and I cop to not reading about the Kardashians, etc., but I'm pretty sure she could write about that in an interesting way too.

Who dares to attack "A Wrinkle in Time"?

I'm a fan of "Harriet the Spy," whose message is, "sometimes lying is a pretty good idea."

Yeah, I'd draw the line at cat. But I've eaten rabbit, and bunnies are cute. I guess if someone had offered me dog in Asia, I would have done it. And fuck penguins. …In conclusion, I have no point here.

Are we allowed to eat you and thus avoid hearing any more about Objectivism? After all, advocating against cannibalism is just telling people how to "live their lives," man.

"Julie of the Wolves," "Island of the Blue Dolphins." Both Newberry Award-winners, both about non-white girls.

Sounds about right.

I'm nice like that! Also, we treated conscientious objectors like shit, so I'm always interested to learn more.

Yeah, I'd probably more focus on the horrible conditions of life for everyone I know than the Washington Sports Team name too. But that also doesn't make the name groovy.
