I bet the Signatura would have had influence if Scalia was still alive.

You ever go to Blue Maiz? It’s right across 8th from Port Authority. It is basically Chipotle with even bigger portions and better ingredients. Worth remembering if you’re ever in the area.

It’s the rare NYC subway train that doesn’t contain at least one male passenger hotter than Blake Shelton. The service may be getting worse with every passing week but the quality of the straphangers has not declined at all.

Jonathan Pollard was convicted under the Espionage Act for passing along intel to the Israelis, and they’re a close American ally.

Not really. Half of my friends went to law school and of those half never bothered taking the bar exam. It’s a more rigorous grad program than most, or at least that’s how they treated it. The non-practicing law school grads are quite a bit more successful than our practicing attorney friends, sweating it out at…

I like watching Kathy Lee and Hoda when I get the chance because as an occasional day drinker myself I’d like to think someone would pay me seven figures for the same wisdom I dispense to myself on the way down to my building’s recycling room.

I got November 16th in my pool (we drew dates out of a bucket, and there are 35 of us.) The end date was Thanksgiving, because no one believed she’d last that long. Hang on, Meg, I’m rooting for you! Hey, at $10 a pop this isn’t chump change.

“Ok, nevermind. Get that coin any way you can sis.”

I agree, it was just another excuse for an open thread. That, the Friday Night Spitting Contest...why really did any of them go away? Is it that difficult to think of an excuse to open the floodgates and let the commenters free associate?

You’re welcome!

The expert use of mood lighting is how you can tell the circus tent room was the product of a keen and discerning eye.

Oh God, I don’t remember that. I wonder if MB is on Netflix or Hulu or Amazon Prime. Or maybe even YouTube. I know what tonight’s homework is.

I’m old enough to have watched it first-run in my own apartment (required viewing for me) and I still remember the Thanksgiving episode with the live turkey. And the one where Jim inadvertently buys a gay bar. And when Murphy has Barry Manilow over and he sings (can’t remember the song) and she imagines the future and…

I think he actually looks like a 1970s version of Jared Kushner which...ewww.

They don’t want to be derivative. I imagine it took about 24 hours after Edison revealed the possibility of the moving image for someone to release a version of what you’re asking about.

There’s a whole section in “The Feminine Mystique” where Friedan talks about how labor-saving devices actually created more work for the stay-at-home woman. One of the example I remember is women growing up and the sheets and pillowcases got washed once a week, on laundry day, but suddenly it’s 1960 and there’s a…

During the Republican primary in 2016 Trump won every county n New York State except for one: New York County, which is Manhattan. Manhattan went for Kasich.

Cindy Adams is an 87-year-old native New Yorker. You bet she spent many a night at the Cedar Tavern in the 1950s.

The echt Hitlerjugend side-part haircut isn’t helping his plausible deniability case.

I think I’ll go pick up a magnum of cheap pinot grigio and find out what my office’s policy on alcohol consumption on premises is.
