LOL — the 14 adults and 4 juvenile human skeletons and ~35 six-foot snake skeletons in our Indiana Bones & the Theatre of Doom display this year were all deeply discounted bc I got them from an auction house. But I’m planning a Xmas skeleton display too…

I can’t stand mayo, and while I am white, I’ve never heard that there’s any association between white and “hating on” mayo. I just can’t stand the taste of it. It’s disgusting. Why does anyone else care how you or I feels about mayo? Does mayo need defenders?

Thank you!

It’s a column by Ross Douthat… of course he was expecting Vance to win. And of course he wrote a piece in advance to that effect. I have LOADS of issues with NYT, but there’s nothing actually concerning here.

I’m so sorry. It’s definitely a plausible cause (as I’m sure you know), and I wonder how many thousands of others are suffering from conditions they don’t know are linked to the attack.

He posted this a year ago and I will be indeed thinking of the many many lives he touched and made better while showing us how to make the most of our impermanent lives. And I will be holding my neurodiverse kids tighter today, as I reflect on my own impermanence.

Ha ha ha ha! Indeed! So there’s under the counter of an airport bathroom in Tanzania, the middle of a plane aisle, and a stranger’s room at a restaurant-inn in Mozambique, where the stranger walked in on me despite the staff telling me to use that room. Also various cars in Mozambique villages… 😂

Thank you! I rarely dip my toe into reporting on policy or legal doctrine, so this was an especially challenging piece too!

That’s specifically regarding his “support” of Israel. He can veto congressional votes for aid to Israel, though that can be overruled by a 2/3 majority. Meanwhile, with Columbia, I’m not sure what he can legally do except escalate w the National Guard—the opposite of helpful.

Please educate me. (That’s a serious request.) My understanding is that Biden is required to follow through on certain things by treaty which, if he doesn’t, can lead to impeachment. I’m not supporting what he’s doing. Am I wrong about that situation?
