There is something about the use of "founder" as a job title that makes me want to set myself on fire.

I certainly wouldn’t judge you. It’s Saturday.

I’m so sorry. Wishing you noise-canceling headphones and your choice of wine or a 5mg edible.

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

Super proud of my kid who was incredibly anxious about sixth grade camp but gave it a chance and wound up having a pretty good time.

Gonna make him a tri-tip about it.

(Caveat: the tofu I had in China did have a distinct flavor. That's not the stuff you're getting in four-packs at Costco, though.)

Tofu is the skinless chicken breast of vegetarian protein. It doesn't taste like much of anything but you can make it taste more or less however you want.

I stopped gambling (mostly) last year and the way the books hound you with notifications/emails to Get Back In The Game should 100% be illegal
like if Coors could text drinkers "15 days since your last beer ... sounds like you need an ice cold Coors Light" and also their phone could give them a beer

Our pink jasmine is about 48 hours from just exploding. Never seen it with this many buds.

you’re right that is embarrassing

It IS a little funny that FIFA was like, we’ll give him a special prize and he’ll then obviously be so grateful to us that he won’t make any problems for us during the World Cup.

They’re saying that a chicken Caesar salad with fries is the ideal restaurant meal. That’s what I’m hearing.

There are a dozen teams who will be rolling a worse quarterback out there and that division is dogshit. If they won ten games with him it would not be surprising.

OK that was slightly unfair of me insofar as she hasn't *literally* connected these positions. But she is both a proponent of heroin legalization (which, whatever) and a very public and enthusiastic heroin enjoyer (which, uhhhhhhhhhh).

I think this specific person squares the circle by also advocating heroin use. You won't even notice that you're hungry!

I happen to think that the killing of thousands of Palestinian innocents is a serious enough matter that it shouldn’t be used as a rhetorical throwaway in whatever unrelated cause you’re championing. Sorry if this offends!

Simply do not pursue an advanced degree if you do not wish to read a lot! That is the job!

β€œReading as grunt work” is so stupid. I got my dissertation+first book idea from a random anecdote in an Ottoman chronicle that my advisor told me to read for language practice. And every idea I’ve had since then has come from something I accidentally encountered while reading for another goal.
