I think it’s a good look, even on dudes that aren’t super fit - casual but still shows that some thought was put into the outfit. I actually wasn’t aware that this was a controversial stance!

I don’t think I’ve seen a picture of Kulture since she was a baby - she is indeed a supremely cute toddler.

J.Lo would never.

Oh that is SAVAGE but I can’t help cracking up. Well played, bratty teen, well played. 

I also like to emphasize the fact that she was a fully-formed adult of 35 when she married him, not a naive young model just out of her teens. That woman knew exactly who he was and chose to marry him anyways.

I think I’ve mentioned this here before, but I was texting with a British friend a couple of years ago and made a joke about Canadian tuxedos...when she asked me what they were I just sent her a pic of Justin and Britney in response and she understood immediately.

Co-signed on all points. 

Thank you so much for the recommendations! I’ve read Pioneer Girl but haven’t read the latter two.

Haha I love that you knew where my user name comes from! And thank you for the link, super interesting. I’m not surprised her name was removed - I know she was a product of her time, but the way she wrote about Native Americans was so dehumanizing.

I read and loved Gone With the Wind when I was pretty young, and in retrospect would have very much appreciated some context - that book, combined with an 8th grade history teacher that insisted that the Civil War was about money and not slavery, gave me some unfortunate ideas about slavery and the time period that I…

I did a couple of rounds of Insanity last year and I both love and hate that guy ;).

I am 40 years old and my mom will still reflexively slam an arm across me if she stops short while driving and I’m in the front seat. This is why I almost never let her drive when we’re together, that shit hurts!

That sounds amazing! Lucky husband :)

My cousin was lucky enough to be able to retire early a couple of years ago and purchased a home in San Miguel de Allende. I haven’t been out yet to visit, but her pictures are stunning and she absolutely loves the town. Best of luck with whatever path you take! 

What is a Jerusalem pie? I’ve never heard of it so googled, but the results were inconclusive and now I’m super curious! 

I was also totally underwhelmed by both the shallot pasta and The Stew. The shallot pasta sounded great in theory but was just way too sweet for me in execution. I suppose I may just prefer a different flavor profile than Ms. Roman, though I’m still gonna try The Cookies before I totally give up on her recipes.

Yeah...dude leaves his position on the board, strongly and publicly encourages his fellow board members to fill that position with someone who is not just another white dude in Silicon Valley, and donated $1M. But let’s shit on him anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Or bizarrely cut, flimsy dresses. They’ve got lots of options! 

I don’t know if this happened in the US (in which case the dad’s a massive dumbass as well as an asshole), but it’s not uncommon in other countries for children to have their inheritance set out by law, i.e. they all automatically inherit equal portions of the parent’s estate and this can’t be changed by a will. I…

Labs do seem to tend towards chonk.
