Food packaging copy is the final living art. It enhances my appreciation of, for example, the round and complex flavor of tellicherry peppercorns harvested along India's Malabar Coast.
Kristi Noem suffering the ordinary indignity of anybody who's ever been fired for doing exactly what their boss told them to do.
I love that damn room. It's a nice space for a breather. And not to sound like somebody's 71-year-old father, but you feel its history while you're standing in it.
I have never wanted to divide my screen. Please stop assuming this is a thing I want to do. Tabbed browsing has been a thing for like twenty years.
Happy birthday(-ish), pup.
And this is all part of a broader trend. Dubya (probably) lost the 2000 election and governed like he was Reagan at peak popularity. One party uses power and the other doesn't. It fucking sucks.
The main thing I take from Trump 2.0 is that Democrats could have done so much good shit over the past 35 years and just didn't. Obama had 59 senators. He made the Bush tax cuts permanent, passed a bill that made health insurance somewhat easier to get, and called it a presidency.
🎶 We love Shaq, he's a little overweight but / He's the league's best center 🎶
This same thing happened to me a couple years ago. My 14-ish year old cat got sick on my birthday and we put him down a few days later. Sorry. There's nothing to be done, really. Try to appreciate that Flora had a good, long life. Or just be sad.
They say we're out of ideas.
The Odyssey clicked for me when I started thinking of it as the best bedtime story ever told.
This guy continues his unrelenting climb up the Dangerous Moron rankings.
This is also what I think of.
Look the fuck out.
You know what's underrated in this atomized, app-mediated world? Sitting down at a decent takeout place. A half-hour of solace.
Lots of Elkin, but The Franchiser probably fits the bill best.
Always has been, by the way. It's just these assholes were deep enough into gin-psychosis to try it.
Paella becomes America Fried Rice.
Vaseline Chicken (45 mins; seven ingredients)
To be fair to 15-year-old me, it was all pretty funny. A friend of mine dressed up as the mayor for that year's Halloween. His girlfriend and her friend dressed as... themselves.
When I was in high school, the slumlord mayor got pinched for soliciting underage girls. A couple weeks later, the slumlord police chief got raided by the FBI for owning stolen ATVs and snowmobiles. I wish my dad had pulled me aside and explained why those events were more instructive than funny.
Been plowing through a lot of DeLillo over the past year, to the point I'm familiar with his pet subjects and theories. The first 20 pages of Running Dog are hilarious. We're in somebody's NY loft, doing the normal things, everybody's talking like Don DeLillo. Then, boom: NAZI SEX TAPE.
Every once in a while there's an actor in the Criterion Closet where it's like how about you try making a single good movie before you talk about other ones.
I think about this once a month. A hard-right warmonger was "the sensible alternative" twenty-five years ago.
I assume no major motion picture studio head has read a novel since 2003 or so. I look forward to seeing what type of filmmaking emanates from a Hollywood where the top execs don't even watch movies.
I think he was the owner? And he ran them into the ground? I'm gleaning this from a decade-plus of skimmed headlines.
This is an even wilder boondoggle than most sports stadium funding schemes because the vast majority of people attending Bears games in Hammond, IN either live in Illinois or will be staying in Chicago hotels. They'll visit the state of Indiana for approximately six hours on gameday.
Not to Zirin-post at this godly hour, but 360,000 Indiana residents don't have health insurance and the state legislature wants to give the Bears a billion dollars. www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/...
