And Herbert Hoover was fluent in Mandarin. He and his wife Lou would talk in Mandarin to each other when they didn't want anyone to know what they were saying.

Totally understandable! Allergies are no joke, especially bee stings. I'm lucky enough to not have that allergy.

I guess I don't get the guilt aspect. But then, I love veal, so.

I don't eat a whole lot of red meat, myself. Not for any ethical reasons, but just because I try to eat a variety of proteins and because red meat isn't super good for you in quantity. I'd frankly rather have a veggie burger that doesn't even try to be like meat at all and isn't full of a bunch of processed crap. I've…

My understanding is that beekeepers only harvest excess honey and that it does no harm to them whatsoever. If I'm wrong, I'll gladly change my opinion, but I think it's silly to freak out about saving the bees while ignoring the practicality of it all.

It honestly makes me sick.

He's really odd in a lot of ways. A fervent Hillary Clinton supporter, liberal for the most part - but also insanely classist and into the whole bootstraps thing. He also got mad at his 16-year-old niece for posting a picture on Facebook where she's wearing some makeup and showing an inch of cleavage; he showed it to…

He's a white gay man in his 40s who insisted that it wasn't a hate crime. I had to break off the argument with him because he's our receptionist and I can't afford to get on his bad side.

And all the Sikh temples in the city have opened their doors to everyone. I know they don't do it for publicity, but I hope people remember this.

When their hearts are weighed against the feather of Ma'at, they will be found lacking and fed to Ammit. Even that would be too good for them.

I'm gladder than ever I ditched Facebook 3 years ago. And I was one of the first non-Harvard students to have it.

God, I love Mark Twain.

It's like the attack on the Orlando nightclub last year. There are still some people who try to argue with me that it wasn't a targeted attack on LGBTQ Latinos/as. It makes me sick to think that there are people who hate women so much.

The world's saddest upvote.

Ugh. Ugh. I will never understand why so-called professionals feel the need to say this kind of stuff, especially publicly. I feel like if you can't stick to "thoughts and prayers are with the victims, here are ways you can help." you should just shut up in times like this.

I'm just glad that someone exists for whom I actually can separate the art from the artist. The worst thing he's ever done is marry that insufferable twit, so he can still have my money. I'd still prefer to never, ever meet them, though.

Thankfully, not all of it. In Manchester City, a rabbi has been giving hot coffees to emergency workers, several shops are ensuring that they all get fed, a bunch of hotels took in stranded kids, and taxis gave free rides to anyone who needed one last night to get to a hospital or home.

I took it as her knowing what the character's arc will be through the next 2 movies and looking forward to getting to do more.

I miss her all the time. It's amazing to me that it's been five months, because it feels like yesterday.

I sincerely hope that the perpetrators are already experiencing an extremely unpleasant afterlife or are about to do so. How fucking evil can you possibly be?
