Has a Masonite backing and it’s assembled using heavy-duty staples. Wondering why anyone would go to the trouble—the work on the mirror is well done.

Vintage pub sign for Traveller’s Rest Ales and Stout, supposedly from a pub in West Cork. @beerfoodtravel.bsky.social , have you ever heard of them?

Yes:
1) there's too many doctorates in job market.
2) it shouldn't be the top schools that have to cut back.

Nicotine is the long-time (hundreds-of -years heritage), quick-fix, DIY response to adult ADHD and depression.

Wondering: why is there no Irish Burning Man festival?

Term was coined in 1975 book “Beyond Boredom and Anxiety” by the Hungarian-American psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihály. Spouse and I have run a flow-friendly household for years. The neighbor’s cat is our biggest fan.

11 years of The Apprentice sealed the deal for a lot of people.

That’s going to be puckerish.

Is this your pils malt beer? No concerns about DMS not getting boiled off?

A few years ago, Ms. LuPone was cool enough to invite my undergrad class (who was taking tour of the Lincoln Center) to sit in while she rehearsed. I have nothing but nice things to say about her.

That's the Cliff notes explanation of one of Kress and Van Leeuwen's theories of multimodal discourse. They were offering advice to people who sought the highest possible levels of engagement from an audience. Good literature was not the goal.
