Do not deny yourself the unfiltered glory that will be The Bugle podcast's coverage of this event. For non-Buglers, The Bugle is Jon Oliver and his comedic partner Andy Zaltsmann take on world news—Daily Show-ish, but much much funnier. It is usually released on Friday evening or Saturday morning.

I work about four blocks from this store on Third Avenue. There are actually several Home Depots in New York City. Two in Manhattan that I know of.

This white woman gets asked that by EVERY new person I meet and often by strangers, because I'm vaguely Middle Eastern/South Asian/Mediterranean/Latina/Jewish looking. Italian, Spanish, Indian, Pakistani, Moroccan, Egyptian, Iranian, Afghani, Mexican, etc., etc., etc. In fact, I am primarily Eastern European Jewish,…

Seems a bit like cherry picking to single out Manhattan since it is only one of five boroughs of my fair city.

As a NYer, I choose it whenever I can. It's almost single-handedly revived the upstate agricultural (and adjacent) economy, which means more tax revenue for the state, which means less tax burden on us city folks as a whole. Plus, I do actually like the taste of it.

Misappropriating state travel funds to see a prostitute is sort of not cool. Even if it had just been a non-commercial affair, that would have been enough to put me off him. I don't care about anybody's sex life, he could fuck a goat for all I care. Just don't use tax dollars to do so.

I've sort of aged out of being a target demographic. I'm mid-(OK, late) 40s, female, not married and child-free. I live in a city and do not drive. They just do not know how to sell to me. I don't have to contend with feeding/cleaning up after/transporting a family, or correcting my incompetent husband's…

Thanks! I have several piles of clothes sitting in a corner (finally went through my 20+ year wardrobe to cull) because I haven't really known what to do with the stuff. A lot of it is really worn out or stained because I wear my clothes to death, but I knew there had to be a better option than just tossing in the…

I've run a couple of marathons and countless half-marathons in the Lynx sportsbra. It's unusual in that it only has a couple of stretch panels, the rest is lightweight non-stretch and that seems to be the key. Super tight stretchy sportsbras cannot control bounce as well.

Ach! I have a knack for dating (like one or two times) guys who feel like they have to break up with me and my response has to be, "were we in a relationship?"

Ahh, I was hoping it was one of Saatchi's prize possessions. It would not have surprised me a bit.

I'm guessing the people calling others "fake geeks" are on par with the second wave of young gentrifiers in a formerly-economically-depressed-but-now-hip neighborhood screaming about the third wave of gentrifiers destroying the area. Most of the geeks I went to school with in the 1970s and 1980s could not possibly…

I've got anchor family in Vancouver. My Brooklyn-born niece texts me every day with the words, "move here."

Yep. This right here.

Check the Bechdel Test for evaluating a movie's treatment/use of women. It works pretty well for people of color too. I haven't seen a movie in the cinema for ages—I'm completely bored with men telling stories about how awesome/horrible men are. I'm white and female and I can't imagine how much more tedious this is…

Yup, I'd love to have a big party, but I literally have nightmares from which I wake up screaming, about being married.

Why empty the cream container? Just start shaking the box and you'll have butter eventually. No buttery jar to clean up.

I like that they have a color scheme for their pets (note dog in background). I have two little black kittens and they are hilariously persistant. They're starting to get pretty good actually, and when they play-fight (no claws out), it's more fun than watching a '70s era kung fu flick.

Is that a metric fuckton or an American short fuckton?

My understanding is that, besides the ethics (which should disqualify the results of the experiments), they were just bad science a lot of the time, lacking controls, repeatability, etc.
