The Mystery of the Blues! I loved that show.

Being mindful of your neighbors is part of the operational overhead of living in a high-density city, so no the “privacy of your own home” is not material to the conversation here. If I blast Metallica at 11pm in the “privacy of my home” I can expect a call from the po-po responding to noise complaints from my…

You assert that this is troublesome for people who want to vet the trustworthiness of people they don’t know who randomly DM them on Twitter, should they opt into this feature. My question — as yet unanswered — is what on earth are you doing with total strangers in DM on Twitter that requires a careful vetting of…

It shouldn’t have been too much of a shock, 70% of MA is anti-death penalty and we consistently vote it down whenever it comes up for discussion. That’s the only reason they made this a Federal case, despite it being a fairly straightforward mass-murder that would have easily been handled by State charges — they…

So the word “woman” doesn’t actually mean anything? If someone is identifying themselves as a “woman” and that word has no fixed definition, what are they identifying as, and why are they so hung up on being called that?

Its disingenuous at best — flat out dishonest at worst — to deny that there is a common set of experiences and concerns for women who are and have always been biologically women, specifically around our reproductive systems: control of them, maintenance of them, pathologies of them real and imagined, lack of focus and…

Its takeout only, there’s one down by gates 1-7 and another towards the other end, maybe around gate 38 or so? They have the pastries, empanadas, and croquetas (my food secret — I love those little fuckers), and then also sandwiches so I can get the media noche when I’m not really feeling a paper bag full of grease. I…

I’m lucky, I guess, nothing even remotely close to that ever happened to me. I was also a pretty homely kid so that was probably a contributing factor. I didn’t really come into my own until near the end of college and then into my 20s, and even then I didn’t wear flattering clothes because I’m a completely fucking…

That sounds like a fun read actually. Kudzu eats *everything* — what’s going on in that house, I wonder?

Relevant:

Oh! Yeah its around gate 30-ish I think. The line there has always been too long for me to get anything, I’d rather grab an empanada and use my time having a drink at the bar.

I’m sure you’re right, I just have my places that I go so I don’t look around at what else is there. I’m very much a creature of habit in airports, I need the comfort of the predictable in that environment.

LOL! What gate was it near? I’m in that airport about once a month (used to be once a week, thank god that’s over.) I usually hit up Ku-Va for a glass of wine and the fried yuca, but if I don’t have time to sit I’ll grab empanadas from Cafe Versailles.

Puerto Rican or Cuban? Most of the food at MIA is Cuban.

Mitch Pileggi, oh my god. I almost just slid off the couch.

Jesus Christ. So you’re not actually going to explain why you find this so problematic, given that you can you know *not turn it on*, just jumping on the bash-Twitter train? Good stuff. Enjoy your day.

It’s the Latin word for “turnip”, which is a member of the same plant family (see also: rappa, rappini)

I don’t think you know what the word “trolling” means. In any case, I’m asking you a legitimate question. How much interaction do you have with complete strangers in a private online setting that makes a private DM such a danger to you, because you can’t see how they behave elsewhere? Are you giving them your bank…

Well first of all, this is public versus private email so the two examples are not commensurate.

Or you could go an even simpler route: don’t know them? Delete.
