Ugh, it’s awful. I like her recipes, so I subscribed to Goop for a bit. I also like some of the clothing they sell, and have a really cute bag and t-shirt (although that pilled in the wash immediately) from her pop-up shop. But then they started peddling homeopathy, and I was out. But her cookbooks are really good!

I just don’t believe my toaster can de-rawify a sweet potato slice enough to make it into something I’d eat...

That measure (and the number of female candidates) are basically the only reasons I’m sad about leaving Ann Arbor. But I’m in LA, now, so probably worth it, on balance.

My mom was born on Easter. The nurses lobbied for Bunny. My grandmother put her foot down.

I don’t know the extent of the damage, but it was definitely one of the ones that was damaged.

On the plus side, though, Rupert Murdoch’s was!

Homemade? Yes. Store bought? No.

Normally, I think blaming things on astrological reasons is bullshit (if I have to hear about Mercury retrograde one more time I’ll lose my shit), but this sounds legit. It’s as good an explanation as anything. I hate this year.

I’m an astrophysicist, and I think this is silly. Crewed missions are very dangerous, and we can learn just as much (and possibly more) with robotic missions, which are cheaper and safer. Cheaper means that the available money can be used for other things, such as future telescopes and funding astronomers to

I just don’t get why she gets to write an op-ed about a private matter that has no bearing on public policy. if the same thing happened between Boucher and his other neighbor it would be a blip in the local police blotter. Not to downplay the severity of Paul’s injuries, but this doesn’t require an op-ed.

Admittedly I only skimmed the WaPo article about Rand Paul’s saga, but why is his wife writing an op-ed for CNN about a private disturbance between neighbors over lawn clippings?

My SIL is very against those things, and any sort of intervention when it comes to fertility (preventing or promoting). She is not a hardcore fundie (in that she believes in evolution and a 5 billion year old earth, as far as I know), but she is pretty religious.

Fuck Maureen Dowd.

I think part of it is that it wasn’t as talked about as it is now. My grandmother (who is 95) says basically the same thing—she was never harassed, she didn’t know anyone who was harassed, and she doesn’t understand why people who do get harassed don’t say anything. She claims that back in her day if you were

I think most of the album is good for running. Most of the songs are pretty uptempo. Probably the only one that isn’t great is New Year’s Day, which is the last track. So, if you’re like me, you’re done before you get to that point.

I need to bookmark this for later when I’m on a buying kick.

Holy shit, I was going to ask you if we went to the same high school, because nearly the exact same thing happened at mine. But as far as I know our chemistry teacher didn’t marry a former student years later (that turned out to be one of the drama teachers!). Our teacher looked like Freddie Prinze, Jr., and he got

My impression was that the baked goods would be better than the substitutes, because they would be made with real wheat? But who knows.

My FIL was telling my husband and I about a gluten-free wheat that’s being developed. I had the same reaction as you.

Red Delicious apples fresh off the tree are, in fact, delicious, but that’s a very location specific thing. The ones in the store are crap.
