1) Tilapia Loins is a good drag name.
2) biologically confusing
3) Kirkland Tilapia Loins is a good law firm name.

I have no idea how to describe it but all these guys use language in a very specific way that clearly says "we would steal your organs if we had 10 minutes and some spoons." cc: @iboudreau.bsky.social

If Fani Wills screws up the Trump prosecution because of corruption or sex, this country deserves what it gets. I hate Atlanta so much.

It’s weird to see people insist “there are only 7 Star Wars films: the OT, the prequels, and Rogue One” because, at the time, the prequels were more hated than any of the sequel trilogy.
People HATED Jar Jar, the acting, the effects, the dialogue, the story, all of it. Hated it.

I can see into my neighbor’s house during the day (their blinds are open and I sit facing our windows) and they have the TV on constantly from 730am to about 1am (they close the blinds at night but it’s clearly still a TV in there).
I just can’t imagine that need for noise.

Worth noting that this issue could well be related to the presence of a DOOR (a door plug has the same essential components as a door) and have nothing to do with the presence of a door PLUG. Also worth noting that largely the same physical and operational solutions apply to other manufacturers.

The headline here isn’t surprising given what we know about GOP bigotry, but the apparent crusade against sociology (?) is a weird flex. I know sociology suffers its share of barbs and can be a bit of a punch line, but … this is a state that is suing the NCAA over a football game.

Meanwhile, I could literally watch the Starbucks dummies wait for parking while I was in and out of my neighborhood coffee place--with better coffee--in 5 minutes. We really need to find a way to marginalize the "I spend more money for worse quality" crowd.

I hate it when companies sell out to fashion. Growing up, Swanndri made comfortable, robust farm clothes. You could do anything to a Swanndri. Now it’s a fashion brand, stuff that falls apart in 1/10th the time for 5x the cost of

Pre-pandemic: I have a late call. Ugh, I guess the kid is having PB&J or takeout for dinner.
Now: I have 30 minutes open. I'll just throw together a ropa vieja in the Instant Pot and it'll be ready while I'm in my meeting.

My office (that I never see) is near only to a suburban sandwich chain. That and fast food restaurants are the only places within about 5 minutes to get food.
And I have to use a car, which I have to get out of the parking deck. I literally cannot (safely) walk to food.
Why would I go there?

For example, it would simply never occur to one of them that, among dozens of others, one of the reason people refuse to return to the office (a propaganda term if ever there was one) is that OFFICES ARE SHITTY PLACES

I always thought the funniest scene in Star Wars was immediately after Vader killed Obi wan and he got trapped behind a sliding door.
Dude can literally pull starships out of the sky with his mind but he was bested by a door.
