Apropos of nothing, the other day when I used a mirror to look at the back of my head (to ensure that my ponytail-barrette wasn't crooked), I realized the end of said ponytail was looking really shaggy: instead of being a more-or-less straight line, it made me think of stalactites hanging from a ca...

There’s a lot of giving unwarranted grace to political actors. It’s not kinda almost a good idea if we can figure it out it’s a bad idea in its bones. Business existence at the whim of regulators is bad bad bad. Write a law call it a crime to violate it prosecute individuals. Improve sanction regim...

Harissa is the fucking market of condiments.

This is the truest thing ever said on Grylliade.

I cut my hair. It had to be done, because it was full of split ends, but I went too short (for me. it's still pretty long) so there's not enough weight too it, and it requires work! Also I'm old now, and need glasses. I picked out pairs of frames, because I actually have vision insurance. 10 years a...

Disagree. Cultures with permissive food service norms have the best street food. Q.E.D.

Agree 100%

I'm spending the evening chugging Franzia box white wine, eating a huge bag of Cheeto Puffs, and watching Kong: Skull Island. I'm eating Tate's double chocolate chip cookies (the ONLY double chocolate chip cookies I will eat, because they are thin, and crispy, and kind of not-cookie like), some pop...

I hate the cold shoulder trend. It's been around for awhile now and it's just so wrong. Especially when combined with bell sleeves.

I hate water. I've become better about drinking it at work since they got a literal water cooler, and cold water is easier to force myself to drink, but I mostly hate it.

I do, however, have an addiction to plain seltzer. I drink it by the case.

Before leaving, the cow said to her calf, 'Bye, son'.

You tell the worst dad jokes of anyone I know

I'm obsessed with https://www.amazon.com/Leuchtturm1917-Classic-Hardcover-Squared-Notebook/dp/B00FWRVUJ6/ref=pd_cart_rp_1_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B003G6OML8&pd_rd_r=A7S19JZ1WG34MF8XNZH4&pd_rd_w=8TDnX&pd_rd_wg=2ySsw&refRID=A7S19JZ1WG34MF8XNZH4&th=1 notebooks.

It's basically how we got W. If the Clinton administration was as relatively squeaky clean as Obama, Gore would have won in an HW level landslide. LOL We got W for the same reason we got Trump, Gore was singularly awful. He lost his own state furchristsakes. Clinton's foibles had nothing to do with...

I think you're right about a tech lift. I think a protocol designed for analog, human speed use is probably reaching natural limits now that we can robo dial for practically nothing. But I wonder, if there's actually nothing that can be done, why aren't businesses being spammed as hard? Their numbe...

The useless NYC mayor called all public school closed for tomorrow around 7:30 PM. This means my office is closed. "Those who can work from home, should work from home." However, because of my job classification, I'm not allowed to work from home. I feel like a little kid for how excited I am to not...

(In NYC)

It's really not *that* cold out- woke up to 12 degrees, warmed up to 17 by 1pm (start of the Polar Bear Swim) If you put on a coat and hat, you're fine. The news just wants to be dramatic about something. Quit your bitching.

We have a little bit of snow on the ground here in Jersey by my parents house (according to my father, after days and days of speculation on the news of ohmygod ohmygod is it going to by a WHITECHRISTMAS?!?!?!?!?! WILL JESUS BRING US A WHITE CHRISTMAS?!?!?!) Jesus has apparently complied. Thank the ...

I have never been more strongly in favor of repealing net neutrality Please, down with YouTube, up with killing ourselves This is my platform I have also never been more strongly in favor of repealing net neutrality. Today I learned "We just repealed net neutrality. This is how democracy dies." I H...

I'll eat sweet potatoes once a year, because my friend makes them in a non-abomination manner. I don't know what the recipe is but there are certainly no marshmellows.

I am making a butterscotch-chocolate-cream pie and stuffed mushrooms.

It would be all worth it if this meant the end of Pixar.

I'll tell you what I don't understand slash hate is the drop shoulder trend.

Is that the same as the cold shoulder trend that's been around the last year or so?

People in NYC are insane about NaNoWriMo. There are a million meetups for it, and it apparently has gotten very cliquey and there is a lot of drama and infighting. I'm not sure why but this amuses me greatly. Same! I got into it early on, maybe the fourth year (they're up to year 19 now) so I'm tot...

The Princess Bride is 30 years old.

My boss made a Princess Bride reference at work last week.

My younger co-workers not only didn't get it, one of them said "What's the Princess Bride?"

I'll hit my one year anniversary at work tomorrow. Given my most recent 7 years, of employment history, this is impressive for me, and I'll take it. It's hard to hold jobs with/after mental and substance abuse issues and enough of a stability (though never perfection) to make it here a year, with a ...

I hope so for your sakes. Also, IIRC, isn't east of the eye the least-bad part of a hurricane, where wind speed and similar things are concerned? If the eye passes well to the west of you, that's about as good as you can hope for, outside of being missed altogether. Less wind, more rain. So it even...
