We ate the fruit cocktail in water, not syrup, ALL THE TIME when I was a kid (for dessert, typically straight out of the can) and I *love* the texture of those grapes. Also the cherries. Holy shit, those cherries. My sister and I would fight over them.

Well it’s past edit time, so I’ll let your spelling nitpick fill in for an edit.

Rachel Dolezal lied about being black in order to gain a cultural cache that only exists in the mind of incredibly privileged white people without any understanding of, deference to, or respect for actual black people. She’s, like, the ubermensch of cultural appropriation.

Um, but, he does... preach... prosperity theology?

Yes! Also definitely my favorite video from a career full of amazing music videos. I love that collage/stop motion aesthetic.

It’s going to take massive amounts of money to fix the situation, but today, right now at 11:02 a.m. CST, we need shallow water boats and kayaks and anything that floats, to go and get people out of their homes. We need huge dump trucks, we need to get people out of those neighborhoods into shelters. Get people safe.…

I love this podcast and am excited, if slightly tentative, about the TV adaptation. Their legends and folklore are so good!

I have a bottle of whole Sichuan peppercorns in my spice cabinet because there is a ramen place here in Chicago that uses them to make a mouth-numbing tonkotsu broth that I legit dream about at night when I haven’t had it in too long, but I’ve never been able to nail that recipe.

I also believe tuna salad should be as simple as possible, but it REQUIRES celery, diced pretty - but not too - fine. That is an ESSENTIAL texture component for me — I need that crunch. Light on the mayo, diced celery, DEFEINITELY Bumble Bee albacore tuna in WATER, a good pinch of salt, and several very generous…

Oh man, they broke up a WHILE ago. I know, because I was doing “COME HERE PETER BISHOP” rain dances in my apartment, trying to make the voodoo happen.

I take it Josh missed the memo he’s supposed to be dating ME....

This is so the opposite of edgy, it’s essentially a sphere made of pudding.

Do not attempt to Radiohead for publicity, Taylor. You are not talented, edgy, artistic or interesting enough.

I highly, highly recommend not pardoning that racist, law-breaking piece of shit in a sheriff’s uniform, but I also highly, highly recommend Trump not being president so I’ve got no hope for how this’ll work out.

The problem arises when ww start trying to distance themselves from their whiteness-as if they’re raceless and inherently neutral. This piece, I don’t think, is not intended to tell ww not to speak out. It’s a request to center conversation and actions on the parties who are most oppressed and hurt.

You neglected to mention this will be in airports. That’s BRILLIANT. I flew to Japan (...huh, that’s kind of ironic) back in January and didn’t realize my checked bag would remain checked at a domestic layover, leaving me with only the sweater and jeans I’d been wearing to work earlier that day to wear for a second…

Both these things are not true.

No, you can’t. This has been settled for TWO YEARS now.

...no? In America, you can go to a court house and get a legal, and legally-binding, marriage performed within a few hours? And if you get married in a church you have to file secular paperwork? No religious element is required in any form.
