don't have standing to comment on this package beyond noting that many of the people being discussed under the "part Asian American" heading here ... are not Americans?? www.vulture.com/article/the-...

As the non-swimming half of our household, I have started taking great pride in picking anti-beach reads. I brought Svetlana Alexievich's Secondhand Time to a cottage last summer and announced "there's been another death/assault/coup" every time F came out of the lake

my understanding of the discourse is that it's bad when VAR calls back an Egyptian goal for something that happened 70 yards from goal but it would have been good for this to get called back???
