Bravo. My pet peeve is "orientated." Why is "oriented" not enough?

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

"ILLEGAL BALL HANDLING..." 😏

Andrew D Thaler @drandrewthaler.bsky.social · 2d

Can we get a 6-part prestige drama about Curtis Sliwa's career as a professional eater. Dude came in 3rd in Nathan's Famous Hotdog Eating, holds a record for most pickles, was DQed from a matzah ball eating contest for illegal ball handling, and the mob kicked him from a meatball contest.

Driving my route last night, I saw 3 adults in inflatable chicken costumes. Blessed!

And it's okay to love an author but not every book! Seriously! I will always reach for Scalzi and many others, but I will have opinions!

Now you're fighting an argument I never made.

But you're obviously having fun, so go ahead ... Just not on my timeline.

Mm-hmm. Okay. Whatever you say, dear.

"Epidemiology" studies disease occurrence/cause in *populations.* That inflammatory response to processed foods gets its own Epidemiology research says MANY MANY MANY people suffer the condition. I choose to trust the findings, and base my behavior accordingly.

If "correlation" means "lived experience that is validated by peer-reviewed research naming the conditions and cures," I'll take it.

I've been to Europe and the food over there, care for its quality and preparation, gives "food purity" an entirely different meaning. Also: a diet of processed foods can create painful inflammatory conditions. Ask around among your disabled friends and family.

YES THIS. If you are one of the "all is lost" people please feel free not to say so in the comments of my posts, it'll save me the two seconds it takes to "hide for everyone" your comments. All is not lost. All is never lost. I prefer not to have you infecting others with your doomerism in my space.

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

Don't say the second when you mean the first.

True observation. I got back from Greece on the 22nd, hopped from 76 & sunny to 56 and raining ... But oh, those autumn colors!
