I wish people would stop asking, "What did you expect?" Or "Why are you surprised?" in regards to the Epstein files. We have a right to be outraged and pissed off.

I'm sorry, is the Rick Steves website recommending that I eat a leek by itself as a part of my Wales trip?

FYI, if you make less than 67K USD a year or are disabled, you can get your taxes done for free by VITA volunteers. The IRS works with them to ensure they know what they're doing. You can find your nearest one here: freetaxassistance.for.irs.gov/s/sit…

All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good.

Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output.
Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity.
Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

Watching Michael Sheen cook on Food Fight Club and skipping the Jamie Oliver bits and...is chili a different thing in the UK than it is in the US? Because I wouldn't call what he makes at the beginning chili. Wouldn't put porcini mushrooms in a chili either. Or serve it over brown rice.

Watched Wolfen (1981) today. Visually gorgeous movie. Not sure about its overall perspective. Also Albert Finney and Diane Venora had friendly chemistry, but not romantic. Wish they'd kept it that way.

Watched #GrizzlyMan yesterday and I think Timothy Treadwell's attitude is just another flavor of "I should keep a big cat/chimp as a pet, it won't hurt me if it knows me." At least he knew bears belonged in the wild and not his house.

I actually love hearing other languages. There are so many of them and they’re beautiful. Getting mad about it is a skill issue. And to be clear, that skill is empathy.
