If you didn't grow up with servants, and I suspect you did not, if you ever get promoted to management you NEED to take yourself out to fancy restaurants to practice being waited on, because it is a skill and if you've had no practice you'll be clumsy.

There's also a part of rebuilding myself that is just practicing being waited on. I want them to bring the Pappadams hot out of the fryer with all the chutneys that make me feel like a Maharajah. Sunday night I'll take myself out to the poshest place in town and let them serve me.

think I'm going to take myself out for proper Indian tomorrow night: Pappadams and Lamb Vindaloo. Trying to treat myself like a crying child and hoping it makes me feel something again.

In Wisconsin today he explicitly said it would be anti-democratic for him to quit when so many had voted for him. I think that's exactly right, and don't think he'll be moveable if he views those as the stakes.

Biden is great at this grinning Dad bullying, he used it to great effect against Bernie in 2020. Doesn't work against Trump because Trump actually makes him angry.

me in college in the 90's learning in painful detail about all the fucked-up stuff in our Vietnam campaigns: Wow that's fucked up, I'm sure glad Colin Powell and the Army seem to have learned from this mess so we won't do it again. 9/11:

Yes! We ALREADY recapitulated all the mistakes of Vietnam in Iraq and Afghanistan, and I had to watch it happen while no one listened to me! The good news is Joe Biden seems to have learned from the experience! The bad news is no one else seems to have learned!

no, we built those in rural areas and told farmers they couldn't return to their villages. they then had a choice between disobeying and risking death and swelling the ranks of those fleeing to the cities.

Only Lindsay Ellis could have gotten me to watch an hour and forty-one minutes on the Beatles, where I learned a lot I hadn't known, because as a card-carrying member of Gen X I am required to hate the dead band that was shoved down our throats growing up.

I'm actually quite bullish on Starmer, because like Biden he doesn't seem to be an ideologue of any stripe, which is already a step up from Blair and Brown.

We’ve all watched the GOP drag rapists, criminals, florid wackos, and brain-dead white supremacists to electoral victory over and over again. Perhaps the Democrats can summon up some of that energy to save our democracy and our lives.

120': FULL TIME EXTRA TIME, unlike today's earlier game this match, while tense, was instead marked by two teams struggling to create scoring opportunities. Portugal 0 - 0 France, and it'll be settled with a penalty shoot-out!

126': Carvajal is sent off with a second yellow card, as somehow we're still playing in the sixth of three added minutes. The ref finally ends it once the free kick is taken! FULL TIME! Spain 2 - 1 Germany, let's hope the second quarterfinal, between Portugal and France, lives up!

It’s important to defeat Republicans so thoroughly they have to tear the party down and rebuild it. It’s good to have two (or more) viable parties, but neither of them can be violent, eliminationist, authoritarian cults of personality.

I remember the printing press one, I forget what it's called, him showing up, looking the place over, and saying something to the effect of "go ahead, but I'm holding you personally responsible for keeping this firmly in the bounds of the cult, the canny and the cane."
