Boo, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that.

Excellent cat, excellent laptop stickers

Yes. One of the reasons I annotate only minimally is out of fear that future readers will judge me. 😂

I figured, that part wasn't about your post it was more me needing to state it for the record.

Wow, mine was born in 1897 (89 when I was born) and people have a hard enough time with that.

I don't think he wants family-inclusive housing for the sake of inclusion, but he absolutely has to know his workforce is made up of a lot of folks with young families and this isn't going to help retain them.

And that is as close as I'm comfortable coming to sounding like I'm defending him. 😂

You're correct, the town is literally surrounded by vineyards.

I mean, quite probably, he's a dork

Ffs

Holy shit that looks amazing

Welp, see you all in a few hours I guess.

This is also one of my favorite genres, and I tend to date fellow neurodivergent weirdos (complimentary) with good stories.

I don't remember most of my kid logic, but maybe @damnslippy.slippy.me has stories?

The thing about having a much older sibling is that they quickly disabuse you of kid logic, but then if you're lucky they teach you something cool to make up for it. Like negative numbers or drawing and quartering.

An ex of mine believed that you couldn't eat pasta if you had already eaten antipasto because you'd end up with some kind of particle/anti-particle annihilation situation in your stomach.

My partner firmly believed he was inoculated against chicken pox because he had already had goose bumps.

Today that sounds like some kind of fringe antivax position, but no, just kid logic.

Same. When I went to see Chess last week I was like yes, right, this is what it is to feel alive.

And it's not even one of my favorite musicals, there's just something about theater.

I may or may not have forgotten that article club was this evening.

Thanks! I forgot that was a thing. 😂

I don't do podcasts either (can't focus on them for some reason) but I make an exception for The Runthrough as well.

Casa Comida maybe? I was mostly too young to remember their food, I mostly remember Juanitos.

Meanwhile, they were both big into sushi in the 80s and I don't remember ever not knowing what it was.

(Apologies to humanity for being five years old and briefly deciding it would be a great idea to eat all my tuna rolls on hotdog buns drowned in soy sauce, that was unforgivable)

Yeah, I definitely think it was primarily a lack of exposure.

Honestly I don't think there was a single Korean restaurant in our immediate area until after I graduated from college.

Thanks for taking us there because exposing them to Thai food did cause them to try it again and eventually come around.

Which meant I got to eat a lot of good Thai food as a teenager.

Yup. A lovely person. /s

What movie?

Professor Trash Wheel is objectively the best, I do not say this simply because she is my most local trash wheel and has cool glasses.

Mogul Penske’s sneak leak Jay Penske — son of billionaire racing mogul Roger and owner of Web sites Deadline, Movieline and Hollywood Life — was busted with his brother Mark during a wild Nantucket night during which the me…

I'm sorry/ you're welcome.

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, so glad This Accident of Being Lost came across my desk for processing when I still worked in a library.

Aw, mine was also Labyrinth and Geocities! But I was twelve or thirteen, which meant I spent all of high school neck deep in fanfic.

My sister went to school with that son. And agreed, it feels very not good.

At least he hasn't been arrested for peeing on a stranger's shoes recently. 🫠
