Gen Xer here: Kurt Cobain and Adam Yauch
Kurt’s death wasn’t that impactful for me at the time but I was senior at University and had planned to go see Nirvana play at a small venue in 1993 but passed on because I was too busy to make the trip to the large city - some deadline or another. Life was busy, and I was also…

I was stunned the fist time I saw a Covid-era Big10 football game. The cheerleaders, dance team and the band were in the stands, performing to an empty stadium. Seriously, WTF?
Greene was recently on the floor of the House giving a televised speech while wearing a mask that said CENSORED. Hawley was bleating that conservative voices were being muzzled in an op-ed in the New York Post. Using the mainstream media to amplify their bullshit and then complaining about the very same mainstream…
I absolutely feel this piece! My deep love of LA radio station KROQ defined my high school life in the 80's. Of course I was also a Black girl who lived and went to school in South LA, so I kept that part of my life down pretty low. I kinda sorta found a semi-tribe of similarly minded misfits in high school, but even…
Like Chris Christie.
Two weeks ago, these same people now calling for “unity” and “healing” would have said anyone who said they were worried about exactly what ended up happening happening had Trump Derangement Syndrome.
My guess is the path to survival for them will now be focused on getting physical servers set up with someone who doesn’t care (which is going to be funny when any of those fail and data is lost), presumably begging AWS to release their user data for a migration, and finding a new payment processor that would be…
“It never does seem to end well for the ‘young lion wants to usurp the old, powerful CEO’ types, does it?”
Yep. Ask Eric Cantor or Paul Ryan how that shit went.
He’s Kendall Roy with even fewer votes somehow.
I love all these GOP “stars” who think they can just pick up where Trump left off. Trump’s support came from people who liked that he’s rich, famous and tells it like it is (in their minds, anyway). But sure, one of these jars of expired store brand mayonnaise like Tom Cotton will be able to replicate that. Sure, good…
Very bold - and stupid! I actually never went there. I feel like Il Pastaio is more famous, and there was a place across the street from La Scala that’s like the same thing, but had a bigger space. They are across from my hairstylist, yet I never went. It does look like they have a good chopped salad, and now I’m…
This is all of us right now. I am planning a weekly drive to nowhere with spouse to keep lockdown fever from causing me to make bad decisions.
Shelter Cat Update!
If I could take a moment to be more self-indulgent than I usually am...

Look, you do not have to feel guilty. This is hard on everyone. Someone having greater difficulty does not invalidate yours. I’m sorry you’re struggling. I am too sometimes. I miss my kids and my parents. Hang in there.
For people who work from home, then the road ahead probably sounds tedious. For people who must go to work and interact with other people, getting the vaccine (whether this month or four months from now) will provide more peace of mind even if they can’t go out for after-work drinks and hug their grandmother just yet.
Thats because its an apology that was very carefully crafted by high paid lawyers and a marketing team. No joke. These apologies can mean the difference between having a career and not having one.
“I’m not in any position to tell anyone how my behavior made them feel. I have no excuses for my alcoholism or aggression, only rationalizations. I have been abusive to myself and everyone around me for years. I have a history of hurting the people closest to me. I’m ashamed of that history and am sorry to those I…
