  1. He’s worse than Scientology.
  2. Uh oh.
  3. Like, oh sure, he went to Harvard.
  4. You watched too much Red Dawn as a kid.
  5. Whatever. All those Republican pussies will be there.
  6. See edits to the reality of their perception. Sure, I agree wholeheartedly that racial bias is the primary lens through which MAGA nation views these protests. But if TV coverage shows beaten protesters who are white like them, the reaction is most likely not outrage, but "Good, crack some lib skulls while you're at it!"
  7. No clue. Maybe the amount of fat from that much melted cheese and toppings don't sit well with me.
  8. I wish I could eat pizza like I did before my 40s. I still love a good pizza, but often end up feeling like shit after two slices. It's not the gluten, because I consume a fair amount of that in other foods and have no problem. And I regularly consume cheese, melted in tomato/meat mixtures and otherwise.
  9. Come at the same time.
  10. Haven't seen a thread yet. This one is getting a lot of hype heading into its release. 81% rating on Rotten Tomatoes so far. Winner of the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. I read the short story in Stephen King's If It Bleeds a few years ago. I remember enjoying it, and it had a kind of heavy "each human life is its own universe" type theme. But I don't recall the makings of a feature film. Still, some of King's works from his short story/novella collections have been solid to outstanding films (e.g., Stand By Me, Children of the Corn, Shawshank Redemption). Will probably check it out in the theater.
  11. Throw in some ball gargling while you’re at it.
  12. Similar situation. My wife’s primary symptom of perimenopause is horrible sleeping patterns. Supplements, exercise, and a healthy diet are helping very little. I feel bad for her, until I’m sound asleep before 9pm.
  13. My wife already makes fun of how I have the sleeping habits of an octogenarian.
  14. I wake up at 4:08 a.m. Mostly out of necessity, because I often have morning kid duty that requires getting my son to school by 6:50 for band rehearsal. And even before I had to get up quite that early, I’ve always taken the laboring oar with morning school transport, and I’ve always psychologically preferred a pre-dawn workout when the gym is quiet and I don’t have to worry about an unexpected work or other matter getting in the way of a later-scheduled workout.
  15. Yep. I include cinnamon in a daily protein/greens/fiber smoothie. Ginger and turmeric are also in the mix.
  16. Perfect weather on this trip that makes the return to the Texas heat suck even harder.
  17. Take my campaign donation.
  18. Beautiful week here. Yesterday included a hike on the Little Si trail, a visit to the Space Needle (the line wasn’t bad and the wife has never been), a walk through the Chihuly Garden, and one of the best sushi experiences of my life at Shiro.
  19. Anyone else surprised that Nicole is up after midnight?
  20. Those of you who’ve ever negged Nicole have to be pretty fucking worried right now.
