I had a professor who did that. He said that if they really needed a response they'd email again. There's a part of me that hates the idea and another part that's really attracted to it.

I once sat next to an older woman on an overseas flight. 10 minutes after takeoff she pulled out her normal duffel bag, took a dog out, and quickly put him on her lap under a blanket. I was the lookout for flight attendants for the next 8 hours.

Lord Farquaad was aspirational for these people. It all makes sense now.

My friend was over last summer with her dog. We're put in the yard and the dog's chasing bees. He ran past a pot, circled back, and stared at a flower for a second...before biting it off and swallowing it.

It seems we all want to bite pretty things.

All of that plus: they'd never catch lightning in a bottle again. And there's been 21 years of imagining how great more sesaons would have been–even if they told a good story it'd be disappointing.

A ginger tabby kitten sitting in the corner of a couch. Her front paws are stretched up into the corner where the couch arm and back cushions meet. Her head is up and her eyes are alert. She is ready to read Kristi Noem for filth.

Sit down so Trinket can tell you her many thoughts about the accursed Kristi Noem.

Pets are such assholes. I'd give almost anything for them but godsdamn they're the worst.

Would be amazing if we could get some non-Minnesotan neighbors plugged in here. Minnesotans have majorly overextended themselves paying their neighbor's rents and we know there is more capacity to chip in from outside the state.

North and south of Seattle. In my area a dad was pulled from his car and taken while his 2-year old was in the backseat. The mother's boss picked up the kid because his mom was afraid to get her. Another man was kidnapped from the parking lot of a shop.

Fair. But if Jennifer Aniston referenced me at any point I'd be so annoying about dropping that info into the most random of conversations.

Was listening to something yesterday reflecting on capitalism. They said that capitalism isn't primarily about accruing wealth but about power, control, and ownership.

There's got to be someone on that train who would do a Strangers on the Train with you. Especially when they know why those dudes are your target.

It definitely feels like one of the "let's reject that premise, mkay thanks" situations to me.

One of my great loves broke, was repaired, and has been returned to my loving embrace.

Never take for granted the power of a good pepper grinder. Especially when it's also pretty.

Isaac Chotiner is our modern day psychostasia. No one knows whether they are pure until after the interview.

3 of the 5 things I did in Vancouver today involved food. This is the proper way to do a day trip.

Okay, I know this one is real because I was in the room for people talking about GWB this way.
