Why didn’t I know about this? It’s one of the best things I’ve heard in a long time.

Oh, that makes sense. Maybe we do need a gender neutral way to be patronizing.

It doesn’t even make sense. Who “engages an individual” in the third person? Nobody’s offended by “you”.

Insurance commercials are easily the dumbest thing on television. Every last one of them.

Yes. I literally just say “that’s fucked up, man”. Practice it so it becomes a reflex.

I think you bring the sheet with you to the dinner party. It’s easier to carry than a curtain.

Honestly, that seems kind of predictable when you decide to put an old lady on the sideline.

But then, in a context where nothing much was known, these were actually imaginative and out of the box results.

I think about this all the time. In my field, computer science, it seems so easy to have major results 60 years ago. There was nothing. You could get stuff named after you, even for the most basic ideas.

Hey, Joan Vennochi: Ed Markey didn't "turn" Seth Moulton's tranpshobic comments into a human rights issue -- they *were* a human rights issue! Comments he never apologized for, by the way. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/09/01/o...
He could never get past the remarks he made after the 2024 presidential election, when he said, “I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.” There has to be a better way than that to debate the issue of transgender athletes. Markey skillfully turned Moulton’s words into a “human rights” issue, as he told the New York Times.

I checked the Tigers schedule, they’re in town. I looked at tickets and found out that I have a $277.50 non refundable credit from 2020 (Covid). So I grabbed the most expensive ticket just under that :)

I’m in Detroit to see Rush tonight, it’s really the last of my high school idol bands that I haven’t seen. My wife couldn’t make it, my high school band mate couldn’t make it, another friend had to bail at the last minute so I’m going alone.

The free stages are great. If you like it you can stay for an hour, if you don’t it doesn’t cost anything to walk away.

People that can’t accept a grandchild or a coworker changing their name are going to accept a new name for a 15,000 year old lake?

There’s a “USA Chicken Penzance” that always makes me laugh. I think it’s implied to be fried. So searching for actual “fried” in the name is undercounting.

This thread has some truly valuable research. Now I want to go give Nebraska Fried Chicken a try.

I had a mtn biking friend from Curaçao who spoke 5 languages at age 5. Mandarin ‘cause his parents were Chinese. Dutch ‘cause it was the official language. Spanish ‘cause they got Venezuelan kids TV. English ‘cause they learned it very early in school. And Papiamento ‘cause all the kids spoke it.
