Was subjected to abuse twice in one shift from one of each of the two broad types of abusive library patrons: a mentally ill creep and an entitled professional

Am now taking applications for a mysterious benefactor a la Great Expectations to fix me up in life so I can quit my job

You know Pauline Kael was film criticism's best prose stylist because she's the only one to whom we can apply the Jack Pendarvis rule of literature: "Every book has an owl in it."

Upside of having a peanut allergy is never feeling tempted to go to a Five Guys, with their medieval peanut display to warn all peanut-allergic wayfarers to turn back and return to their villages.

The gulf in skill between editing and writing in Videoheaven is crazy. Perry did an amazing job assembling found footage but his attempt at writing an essay are embarrassingly bad

What if I just go to NYC once a year instead of traveling anywhere else. I don't really care about going to Hawaii or some shit.

Usually I find almond butter to be bland and unsatisfying, but somehow the almond butter filled pretzels from Trader Joe's are one of my fave snacks ever

I always put frozen pizzas directly on the oven rack but tonight it finally set off the smoke alarm. I will be using baking sheets and longer bake times in the future

β€’ The vehicle is registered to a man in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, who was originally from Lebanon, law enforcement sources told
CNN. Authorities are investigating reports that the man told people that he had family members who were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon in recent days, those officials said.

It is horrific what happened to this man’s family. But some Jewish American children worshipping at a synagogue in Michigan are not fucking responsible. This is another case of blaming all Jews for the actions of Israel. This is why we constantly beg you not to do that.

I guess almond butter just needs the salty pretzel sheath to bring out its flavor

The Weinstein interview is fascinating on so many levels but one thing I'm thinking about, given his protestations of innocence, is... has anyone stepped forward to defend him? Woody Allen has plenty of defenders, but I haven't heard of anyone who knew him claiming that Weinstein didn't rape anyone
