ATTN: COUPLES
gadgetry:
How do you actually share a bed? Like, I got a queen-sized monster when we moved because I anticipated frequent joint occupation but… listen. I love Adam very much. Cuddling is way awesome until I want to actually go to sleep. And then I want absolutely NO ONE TOUCHING ME EVER
I usually turn away from my bedfellow when I sleep. Nothing personal, it’s just more comfortable for...

Me: did you know grant hill had to sit out the rest of the 2000 nba all star game after he lost a contact lens in the third quarter and didn't bring an extra to the stadium from the hotel
Jack: wow
Jack: grant hill
Jack: wow
Me: did you know that one very specific piece of basketball trivia
Jack: I had no clue
Me: grant hill metaphorically dropping the ball
Jack: yeah
Me: but probably also literally dropping it as a consequence

Me: The Duality of Grant Hill
Me: my thesis
Me: no too high school
Jack: He Drops The Ball IRL and Not IRL
Me: Duality and Dropping the Ball: Grant Hill and the 2000 NBA All-Star Game
Jack: The Ball-Dropping Duality Of Grant Hill
Me: or how I learned to stop worrying and bring my spare contacts to the stadium

We age a couple of our beers so technically they are lying around, heh. Also, we tend to prepare for moods. Sometimes one is in the mood for a dark porter and sometimes one is in the mood for a light citrus-y hefeweizen.

buying beer with the intention of not consuming all of it that day
unless you’re bringing something back from a brewery, what’s the point
do people just normally have regular beer lying around the house?
Sometimes I like the option to knock back a couple beers while I’m cooking dinner. For me, on an empty stomach, that qualifies as tipsy cooking. No injuries yet.

The Nation: Anti-Immigrant Rhetoric is Anti-Latino →
thenoobyorker:
This is a little heavier than what I normally post but Victoria Soto nails an aspect of this debate,
The immigration debate got very personal for Latinos in California in 1994 when Proposition 187 passed, denying undocumented persons basic social services such as a public education. The justification for Prop 187 was to curb financial waste, not negative feelings toward Latinos....

someone posted all the episodes on youtube and I’m almost done with series six, it’s far too easy a tv show for me to watch because it’s perfect for idle time (short, no plot, easy to pick up wherever) plus stephen fry is in it.

This lady was essentially the Rebecca Black of the 1930s. FFJ was an heiress with no musical experience, poor rhythm and an inability to sustain a note but a budget big enough for her to rent out Carnegie Hall and on a few occasions sell it out as she attempted a career as an operatic soprano. People paid to laugh at her and it’s even said her accompanying pianist...
