And then of course there were the two women in Cline Falls State Park in 1977, camping in the park, who some guy tried to straight-up murder. They both survived, but with injuries, and the guy was never caught, though the one survivor who’s written a book is pretty certain she knows who it is, and he lives in the…

Yup. As long as you’ve reached a basic level of adult competence (essentially, be able to hold a job or support yourself with something you’re passionate about) I don’t care what you know but I sure as hell care if you don’t care to know anything new.

Locust and crab butter.

We (I’m in Seattle) weren’t able to experience the idea of life going on in New York. I didn’t like anything at all about the actions the US government took in the wake of 9/11, so it was pretty easy for me to get to the place of “you could get hit by lightning, you could get hit by a bus, you could be in a building…

I mean, that’s the thing. In another lifetime, I’d like to really spend the time and training to become a clothes designer because I LOVE finding the looks that make people look great regardless of their figure. Being fat isn’t a problem from a tailoring standpoint, it just means that he has to choose different suits…

Someone I used to consider smart said, I think right before the convention but after we knew it would be Trump, that of course Trump is a sexist bigoted bully, but the APPEARANCE of misdoing with Clinton’s emails - and he acknowledged that she had done nothing wrong, he was commenting that it appeared she had done…

I read somewhere that most American voters who say they’re undecided aren’t, and that it’s a kind of peculiarity of our system. I feel like that was Nate Silver, but I don’t remember for sure, and it was at the last presidential, so, you know, good luck on my ever finding that stat.

The best people.

Also, Matthew 6:1-18.

No. It’s poor editing. Journalism is the work and distribution of things considered newsworthy, such as events, people, facts, and ideas. Editing is when someone goes through a written piece and makes sure it doesn’t have spelling, formatting, grammatical, or other errors. If you’re going to correct someone, make sure…

There was one a few years ago where a couple hit a coyote in the Mojave and couldn’t find it when they got out of the car so assumed it had run off. It was when they finished their 600 mile drive that they figured out the coyote had somehow gotten wedged in the fender and was basically fine.

Never, because those words are about women, and we all know women aren’t really people.

I don’t think less of Trump because of this because I have no less to think of Trump. However, I sure as hell think less of a loooooooot of other people who apparently are just now waking up to what their nominee actually is. Even though that’s been on display for the last billion years, approximately.

So, four or eight more years of how mad Republicans have been over Obama, got it. We’ve survived that, we’ll manage this too.

I honestly had that exact thought that Barbara is gunning for him. This is affront to her sense of what people should do, and she isn’t likely to sit quietly by. She’s not going to go public about it, but in private, he is going to need a new skin because she is going to peel it off of him in one long strip.

The most reputable reporting I saw on the incident was in Rolling Stone, when he was running in 2008; I don’t know if it was picked up by other outlets at the time. There is a report, which could I suppose be filed under “persistent rumour”, that the fire was caused by McCain “wet-starting” his jet to scare the pilot…

IE6 when I was working at a state school last year. IE6. I wanted to die.

Computers need to be tested? I mean, I don’t know, dude, I’ve been using a personal computer since 1984, and I’ve never had one blow up on me. (I am literally speaking of computers, not computer security, not computer programs, not anything other than the computer itself, which is what she called out as an issue while…

That’s not equivalent. He demonstrated immense courage as a POW and as a soldier (and also immense cowardice in the Forrestal situation, by all accounts) and he demonstrated immense weakness by endorsing Trump (and other actions he has taken as a politician). No one is universally a coward or a hero, and McCain is no…

I don’t know what’s worse than a filthy Communist, but you just found it, besmirching the good name of our proud symbol. :)
