My spice stash rivals my yarn stash. Almost all of those are available readily in US stores. Maybe not the French Curry Powder, but Za'atar? Seriously?

I've heard this bullshit before. Along with "we'll be welcomed as liberators."

I got an email from my representative, who I really like, BTW, saying that he was calling on his colleagues to come back and vote on the war powers resolution.

Like, do they really think that will stop Trump? He won't give a fuck.

Killing a bunch of elementary school girls to distract from having raped a bunch of middle- and high-school girls is pretty fucking grim.

Someday, before I die I hope, Americans will come to realize that not choosing the lesser evil means the greater evil wins

When we first started watching it, I commented that Ford seemed really happy in the part. I agree that it’s some of the best work he’s done.

I am so sorry for your loss. He sounds like an extraordinary man and father.

Not only should "concomitant" be accepted for today's #NYTSpellingBee, but it would be a pangram. Grrrr.

The proper response is "Why are you parroting racist propaganda?"

You, sir, are not meeting the moment. ICE cannot be reformed. It is meant to be and is acting as an invasion force, an election interference mechanism, and an act of terrorism against American cities. No amount of "reform" is going to undo that.

I cancelled my @washingtonpost.com subscription a while ago, but since I paid by the year, I still have access until April. I admit I would still look at it. Now I won't even do that. Bye, bitch. Bezos took a great American institution and destroyed it, just like Trump is doing to the country.

And yet the Post keeps trying to convince me to resubscribe. This ain't the way to do that, Bezos.

Hatful of Hollow is one of the best albums of all time and I hate that Morrissey ruins that for me
