Educating the future? New Jerseyan in exile. I mostly talk about beer, foreign policy, and on very rare occasions, parenting and gender.

There's a No Reservations episode on Newfoundland that goes into detail on how to prepare moose outdoors.

Even better, doubles as a cudgel to hit them harder. Nothing like creating a tome-sized book for everyone to find something to hate you for.

I go back to my comment of the other day, which was "hit 'em again".

I thought we left Kremlinology behind in '91. I know it's been a decade+ since I was in DC, but everyone knew that Politico/Axios were gossip sheets then. There was a reason it was in the free boxes next to the Examiner

There was one of those the other day, where someone was highlighting the fact that he was read in the White House. My thought was, "Yep, and he still sucks"

I would echo this, and usually by the time it has progressed to the point where it affects cognition, the physical symptoms are too obvious to ignore (like he wouldn't be able to stand straight)

Dude, you repost memes and comment on things using analysis that makes Chris Cilizza look like he works from CRS. There's not much you should be proud of, aside from the fact that you don't soil yourself in public on a regular basis.

Thirded. I hold a terminal MA and have spent the last fifteen years in academic advising and public speaking roles. It's rare that a day goes by where I don't flub part of my talk, or have to work through a slight stammer on certain words/phrases.

There is currently an ongoing knife-fight in various factions of childcare quacks whether having a bunch of colors or no colors at all is best for Baby, to which I reply: make sure the kid's loved, the rest sorts itself out.

One thought on a way out of our current morass. Journalists and politicians should be forced to state "My behavior on social media represents more than me shitposting with my friends," about 100 times before they hit sent/post

When something like this pops up, it reminds me of having a discussion with my wife where she had students surprised that they might have to wear jeans rather than leggings at an Irish University

I just asked him whether the voices in his head worked in a particular order or by random assignment, which was probably a bit childish of me, but seemed deserved

I mean, I'd alter "batshit fucking insane" to something more like "situationally insane about particular things," but I married a Wisconsinite, so ymmv.

It's super great that people with scant medical and cognitive training are doing diagnostics via the magic picture box. This shit was embarrassing when Bill Frost did it in 2006, why is it any less embarrassing in High Def?

Oh, for a world where words still mean things. People do realize that Sundowning isn't the act of becoming a sundown town, or getting tired after dark, it's an actual medical term, with clinical definitions, right. This is like saying, "I'm British, and by British, I mean that I like Doctor Who."
