Of course, we did know what they meant, they just won't say it under oath because judges get mad at them when they do.

And yet every one of us who applied for or received grants from the government last year was expected to *instantly* know what these utter morons meant by "DEI" and "gender ideology" and stop doing whatever it was immediately.

A few years ago I started replacing every "we should" with "I should" and this really helps me to stay grounded.

One of the most depressing things about the war in Iran is how a bunch of grown ass men are acting like this is a fucking video game.

‘Dark, like our future’: Iranians describe scenes of catastrophe after Tehran’s oil depots bombed Residents report terror of smoke-filled city, from potentially toxic rain, air and water to food scarcity and difficulty of escape

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside."

Read every word.

More hockey coaches should dress like this.

Huh. Pretty sure I've never seen one of these before!

Any port in a storm

We've all dated this guy

I was gonna say

Did he? He was a miserable son of a bitch, so that would track.

Oh my god

The Nutcracker. I know, shut up. I hate what I hate.

SOME DAYS YOU WAKE AND IMMEDIATELY START TO WORRY. NOTHING IN PARTICULAR IS WRONG, IT’S JUST THE SUSPICION THAT FORCES ARE ALIGNING QUIETLY, AND THERE WILL BE TROUBLE.

WHAT A SHOCK WHEN THEY TELL YOU IT WON’T HURT AND YOU ALMOST TURN INSIDE OUT WHEN THEY BEGIN

IT CAN BE HELPFUL TO THINK OF THEM EATING THEIR FAVORITE FOODS AND OCCASIONALLY THROWING UP AND GETTING BITS STUCK IN THEIR NOSES

THERE IS A PERIOD WHEN IT IS CLEAR THAT YOU HAVE GONE WRONG, BUT YOU CONTINUE. SOMETIMES THERE IS A LUXURIOUS AMOUNT OF TIME BEFORE ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS.

There are so many of these and I love them all. They’re carved into stone benches all around the garden opposite the Walker Art Center.

my daughter said straight out this is why she wouldn't date anyone from her high school (town pop. 3,500) back in the day. "When you were five you cried in the hockey locker room because you were so mad you couldn't get your breezers off by yourself. I'm sorry, I can never take you seriously."

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first – putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.

Well, now you've done it

It really does come back to this on just about everything.

One really violent day as the solution to all problems, foreign and domestic.

Oh, I doubt it. What will come out is various commentators' assumptions as to what happened. What actually happens behind the scenes at large orchestras rarely if ever makes it to public view.

I’m not at all connected to that orchestra or the Boston scene, so not sure.

Boston Symphony Abruptly Ends Its Music Director’s Contract

Oh, wow

The female equivalent of the dude who just learned how to play two songs on acoustic guitar is the woman who just started adult ballet or tap lessons and wants you to go to her four hour long dance recital.

Her dance is 2 minutes long, 3 hours into it.

One minute of the Grain Belt Beer sign and a train crossing the Mississippi River in Minneapolis

My old front door!

Oooh, gorge!

Why is absolutely everything so stupid.

So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"
