I watched the first episode. It’s not bad, but it didn’t really make we want to keep going. I’m not going to argue with anybody who says they love or hate it.

I’m excited about this season. I think Brianna seemed like kind of a bitch in the clips that I’ve seen but maybe she’ll get better. Also, who have they cast for Young Ian? And grown up Fergus? I’m looking forward.

Did you know there was a large and long public info campaign to prevent public spitting? It began when the connection was made between illness and germs. Mostly men spit on the ground, they were encouraged to not spit because ladies long skirts brought tuberculosis germs indoors — where children crawled on the floor.…

I wiped down the seat the last few times I flew. I was nervous that people would think I’m a freak. All that happened is that the woman next to me said she was jealous, so I gave her one of my wipes, and she wiped down her seat, too.

In NYC I’m constantly reminded just what nasty phlegm monsters humans can be. When I walk, I look down to make sure I don’t step in some nasty asshole’s loogie. People constantly sneeze into their hands and then grab hold of subway poles and door handles. Once when I was on a bus, a guy at the very front (I was…

Only last week, I was stuck on a delayed train for 5 1/2 hour, sitting on the inside of a man with THE WORST COLD. He spent the whole time on his phone making business calls and coughing and snorting without covering his mouth with ANYTHING. After 20 minutes, I tapped his shoulder, passed him a pack of paper tissues…

This is to the Kentucky Derby what Harvard-Yale is to any Alabama game. 

I wear a scarf when I fly and cover my mouth and nose with it during flight times. It doesn’t look as paranoid. But I am that person that wipes down their seat with anti-bac wipes and uses their elbows to open/close/use the bathroom on the plane. I haven’t been sick in a few years.

i would love to wear a surgical mask while on a plane but i don’t want to frighten everyone.

Nahh, I don’t think she’ll give a fuck

Janice in accounting is gonna be PISSED.

I might have been amused if she got injured in an accident. I am amused that she got her f-ing jewels stolen. My schadenfreude is only leavened by my distaste at thinking of her tied up and terrified.

I find it strange that so many (including her) think her social media presence was particularly meaningful (unless she was posting where she was and that she was alone). People get robbed all the time and there are a lot of rich people who wear their expensive jewelry publicly, it’s not like thieves don’t know rich…

Being in love with a material possession that derives its value entirely from its scarcity is a severe moral failing.

Some of them deep down think it’s fake and she Lochted herself. So they’re not even trying to waste time believing her, much less having sympathy.

I don’t want to pull this card, but I have a graduate degree in economics (which is why HamNo usually keeps me in the greys)

It should be of zero concern to the employer what their employees can or can not afford to do with the money they are paid.

Weird, it’s almost like bargaining as a.... collective.... might be a useful way to allow people to gain lower middle class wages and basic health benefits without being fired? You may be onto something.

What does that matter? $35,000 is barely enough to live off of. Why shouldn’t someone working a ful time job get a livable wage?

Same way Monica Lewinsky met the admissions criteria: money.
