Does this shirt make my thymus look too small?

The circle of life.

A glut of fresh peaches this summer then? I’m good with that. I only eat them fresh seasonally as it is.

I still prefer the eastern peaches.

It’s a perfect example of why I quit playing it maybe a year or so ago.

It’s not a logic puzzle or a word game per se. It’s an exercise in trying to guess how one particular man’s mind works. A man whose name I don’t know and who is unimportant to me.

This drives that home.

Love that kitchen!

Mines called Paprika and it was either free or had a one time cost. I’ve had it for years. It converts web based recipes perfectly and downloads a photo.

I had a bunch of bookmarked recipes but I’ve since downloaded them into this app.

Love it. I’ve thought about picking up that ballade again. It’s been years since I’ve had it in my fingers.

No, no. Spaghetti in chili is heresy.

I think there’s a good chance Don Jr throws his hat in the ring.

Could Vance and Rubio really run against him? (Assuming Trump sr is alive).

What says you? (About the possibility of it happening I mean, I’m pretty sure I know what we all think of Uday and Qusay Trump)

He was a DUI hire.

Though I was raised mostly in the yellow region, I was raised by parents from green areas and that's my inheritance.

I just finished rereading Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia.

I’ll be in Barcelona twice this fall, both for scientific conferences.

@bernard Wasn't it Citizens United (the irony and sarcasm can't be lost on many) that declared corporations are people and can give whatever they want to candidates?

Not quite. There are still campaign law limits that cap the amount any person (corporate or natural) can give to a candidate. But they can spend an unlimited amount supporting that candidate via their own messaging or other efforts.

Fun indeed.

Always been a big fan of his.

Wow that’s big news.

THat's really cool.

I made it 3m52s in and stated feeling queasy and didn't want to risk another minute.

Coincidentally (or maybe not), Matt Yglesias' column today is about how Ken Martin sucks and needs to be replaced. His job is raising funds for the party and right now the RNC has 15x the cash on hand of the DNC, and the DNC has more debt than cash.
