Beyond a certain point, not be drunk anymore. I likes me some drink, but if I get past "pleasantly tipsy" it's no longer fun. And I start forgetting things, which I REALLY don't like.

I'm from the Boston area. Dunkin' Donuts sucks. Their donuts taste like nasty chemicals and their coffee tastes like stale cigarette ashes.

in political comms, waking up to something like "she was a parttime yoga instructor who also runs a facebook group of 163 people who like old movies, but recent events have caused her to mobilize against you" is the equivalent of being woken up on a flight by the sound of someone starting a chainsaw

Hi, I'm a steep narrow shot in the woods with a big rock in it, that my ski helmet did its job against. Bought a new helmet that day, same model because I knew it worked.

Then-President of Zimbabwe Robert Mugabe visited my university campus once. I was riding my bike around the back of the Campus Center and saw an important-looking Black man being escorted to a limo by several obvious security men, who kept a close eye on me as I rode by. Then realized who it was.

The end of indoor public smoking being socially acceptable is up there with same-sex marriage and the end of the Cold War as one of the most awesome societal changes of my lifetime. "non-smoking sections" in restaurants and airplanes were a fucking joke.

Hey Megyn Kelly, 14-year-old Eloise would like a word: “If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good… because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.” Sound up! 🔥🔊 1/2

Warning to the feds: if Trump sends soldiers to NYC, we have very varied sandwich options at our disposal. You will encounter a fusillade of bahm mi, BEC, gyro, chop cheese, BLT, doubles, lox bagel, croque-madame, torta and döner. Hell, half a Katz’s pastrami on rye could wipe out a couple of guys.

No, that’s monophonic. Monogamy is when a market has only one customer.

I didn't actually meet Noam Chomsky, but I sat next to his son in junior high English class and went to his house once when we were doing a project together. (Didn't really know who his dad was at the time.)

The thing that most upsets me about the murder of the CEO of United Healthcare is not that he was murdered, or that people are celebrating it, but that it could have been the catalyst for some real reform of our terrible healthcare system. But that ain't happening in the next four years.

So, what obvious thing am I missing here? I have 4 replies to my intro post, which show up in my notifications, but when I click the word balloon icon with a 4 next to it, they don't show up, it just gives me the prompt to reply myself. Same on everyone else's posts; I can't see any replies.
