Let’s stop pretending that McDonald’s serves a breakfast burrito.

I’ve played the one at the Museum of Pinball in Banning, California.

It’s a gimmicky pinball machine, but nothing more. The cue balls don’t have nearly the action of a regular pinball, and the game is slow and boring as a result.

Still, cool to see in person, since it’s comically huge.

Only the last two episodes take place after the defeat of the Others, so Winds of Winter getting published would have meant only two episodes of the screenwriters vamping.

Now I want to find the Pixels porn parody.

Honey, I’ve Run Out of Ideas.

It’s how this show works. The quality has dramatically dropped off once they were out of books to pull from.

Yes, the writers are phenomenally well-paid and ought to be capable of better. But the point stands that, if Martin could put out a book every five years or so, they would have more material to pull from, acting…

So, you know the thing where you make a dumb joke long enough that it comes around to being funny, even hilarious?

This isn’t that.

George, it’s been eight years. Yeah, this season is great evidence that pleasing everyone with however you plan to wrap this all up runs the very real risk of pleasing almost no one. That almost certainly makes this intimidating job even worse.

But you know what’s guaranteed to not please your fans? This being the only…

Milwaukee’s Best has always been worse. It’s literally cheaper than water in some stores and definitely cheaper than soda.

How would a 2019 Blade be different than the classic one? (Other than the music and probably not starring Wesley Snipes.)

My middle schooler asks about our credit card balances and how much his mom’s new car costs us each month.

He’s been getting an allowance since he was 5 and has turned into quite the little saver, after making some disastrous purchases he immediately regretted over the years.

School districts typically partner with outside groups that offer that assistance, rather than providing it all themselves.

The kids all know — or think they know — about this already, thanks to social media apps their parents may not even know anything about and definitely don’t have full access to.

The student newspaper can actually take this from whispering in the social media virtual hallway and talk about what’s actually happening and…

She theoretically has access to a lot of the other services that other people who are housing insecure have. But those services are also notoriously underfunded.

Lodi Unified teaches kids about slavery, Holocaust and more. (And that’s just in history class!) No reasonable person thinks they’re encouraging that behavior by educating their students. The student newspaper doing an inarguably newsworthy story isn’t encouraging anything either.

If officials were worried that the…

I’m sorry, am I both the parent and the adviser to the student newspaper in this case?

Because my comment was about the school district bragging about non-porn student businesses, which school districts do constantly.

Since the newspaper wasn’t ever going to print any porn in the paper, the district is just trying to…

This is indefensible behavior by the school district. There’s zero chance a teacher is going to be printing porn on the student newspaper. If this article was about Duffel starting any other legal business making comparable money, the district would be calling all the newspapers, bragging about what kinds of students…

Waiters make more money. Most journalists make salaries that compare to the starting salaries for teachers in their markets.

I don’t know any print journalists who are in it for the fame, although some clearly enjoy it when it happens to them.

Broadcast folks, on the other hand ...

Pieology, also all over SoCal, is also better than Mod, largely because of the crust.
