One of my Amazon orders has not arrived because the USPS is claiming that they could not access our building, period. This strikes me as highly unlikely. That will randomly happen to some of my Amazon orders with USPS or UPS, and it makes no sense, because I get something from Amazon about twice a ...

Wasn't there a case where a cop got fentanyl on himself while arresting a guy, and claimed to OD because of it, and so they charged the guy with additional assaulting an officer? I hope I'm misremembering, but unfortunately this sounds like the sort of thing that could happen. IIRC, it turned out t...

I watched West Wing again a few years ago. The early seasons imo don't hold up as well as the later ones (which may not be a common opinion, and is not the usual for a TV show) Common wisdom is that the show declined when Sorkin was fired. If nothing else, the dialog got worse. Season 5? (I think) ...

I watched West Wing again a few years ago. The early seasons imo don't hold up as well as the later ones (which may not be a common opinion, and is not the usual for a TV show) Season 7 (most of it) is my favorite. I thought they did the election well. I normally hate the guy who plays Matt Santos,...

Wisconsin getting knocked out really messed me up. It being year of the badger, I almost picked them as the overall winner, but did have them in the championship. Oh well! I'll still hold out that Duke will pull it off.

Favorite show when I was in High School: The first 3-4 Seasons of Dawson's Creek that, let's be honest, I still watch clips of on YouTube when I'm really depressed. Pacey & Joey 4Ever. Beverly Hills 90210 until it pretty late in the series, actually. The fact that Dylan McKay died in real life is ve...

I picked a different team to win than usual (I always pick Duke, and they are exceptionally good this year, but every year my friend Keith and I pick an animal for the year - unrelated to NCAA - that is our animal for the year, so I picked the team with that mascot. My friend, who is the reason behi...

Mine are done! I will probably regret my choices, but I have REASONS for my picks (ridiculous reasons) so I should really regret nothing.

I would like to but I don't know how any of that works.

I make my picks based on team mascots, so I know nothing about any of the teams. I think I won one year doing that.

Selection Sunday this weekend, sign up for the annual Grylliade bracket group for libertarian cred https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/group/23308/invitation?key=da39a95e92186f8f&soc_trk=lnk This year, my goal is to remember to finish my bracket before the deadline, unlike last year when I...

Twice annual reminder that Daylight Savings is a scam.

But yes, Standard or Savings, pick one. Then no changing.

A movie about Apollo 12 or 14

The Fountainhead, with the gender roles of the main characters flipped. The Randroids, the main audience, would not stand for that. No one else cares about The Fountainhead. Make it about 5 hours long. Definite failure.

I'm tired of indulging scaredy cat mothers in most areas. I'm ready to support anything that makes them mad. Pay homeless people a dollar to talk to their kids. Replace regular playgrounds with thunderdome. Anything.

I support this and would like to sign your petition.

Oooh! That's very encouraging -- thank you!

There are lots of modern Orthodox women who cover their hair and get very creative with head wraps. Then when someone drags you on Twitter, you can accuse them on being anti-Semitic! Because that also always works out well.

By my address, AOC is my congressperson By my voter registration, which I stubbornly refuse to change, Josh Gottheimer, one of the only Jews in Congress is my representative. I voted for him twice. The only way I would change my voter registration is if Josh is a sure thing next election, and then I...

yo my xy droogs what is a good brand or outlet for women's sweaters that are a) warm b) reasonably well-made c) workwear appropriate and d) a good value for the dollar? turtlenecks and mock turtlenecks are fine as the workwear can be a 70s feminist professor vibe sans chunky female symbol necklace....

This was my morning at my new apartment: Furniture guys announce there arrival by leaning on the buzzer (later find out that this because they don't have my cell phone) and not stopping, which made me get flustered and I rushed out of my apartment...without my keys. Ok, so not a huge deal, the super...

I now own a townhouse somewhere between 3 to 4 miles of Bezoworld South.

I guess where I live could be considered Bezoworld North? Or Bezoworld East? It's going to be in the a borough, so snobs wouldn't consider it Bezoworld NYC, probably.

After many iterations of "living with roommates I found on Craigslist" I have reached the pinnacle of NYC existence - being able to afford my own place WITHOUT having a significant other. For a (very) brief period I harbored an idea that I wanted to move to Upper Manhattan, but it's super inconvenie...

I am: 1) Team "Turkey is delicious" 2) Team "Why the fuck are you putting marshmellows in sweet potatoes?" There is some mild drama going on with my mother and her anxiety affecting her judgment about where Thanksgiving should be held/what should be done for Thanksgiving. Therefore, I have not comme...

I got on a bus leaving Port Authority at 3:45 yesterday afternoon. 7 hours later I got off the bus. It was one of the worst experiences ever. Our bus driver was completely heroic in his driving. We got stuck like 4 or 5 times. There were so many accidents and cars stuck or spun out along the Turnpik...

Normally I would vote Libertarian in usually decided Senate race, especially since Murray Sabin is running and he was for legalizing weed way before it was cool, has been hopelessly running for office for many years, and 19,000 years old. But I really don't want Bob Menendez to lose his seat to Bob ...

Last week it was 30 degrees, now it's 70 degrees and humid. All the more reason to stay indoors forever.

I got a blowout today for the first time ever and it’s pretty amazing. My hair is totally straight and flat and sleek like I could never do myself. It was for a work thing and I totally feel like I dressed up like one of the sales/accounts girls for the day. I'm intrigued. So it's better than flat ...

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...
