You jest, but I can assure you that alligator is delicious.

My cousin got acupuncture treatments for alpha gal a couple of months ago. She went out for a steak after her last session and wound up in the hospital.

My representative, who is generally a pretty progressive guy, is on this list. A local journalist asked about his vote, and the statement from his office was that the congressman is waiting for a classified briefing on the Iran strikes to help determine whether the president broke the law.

I know that we live in a world where we expect not only a 24-hour news cycle, but 24-hour resolutions to all issues. Having a solid argument and proper evidence for impeachment is the sort of thing that moves more slowly than we would like.

I was raised in the Assemblies of God, and I'm fairly sure that I knew an age-appropriate definition of adultery by kindergarten. Something along the lines of "breaking your marriage vows by being in a romantic relationship with another person."

I definitely knew the actual definition of abortion by kindergarten because my church had fucked-up priorities.

Yes! Diablo for everyone!

I'll be listening to Nirvana and playing Symphony of the Night in my room. You're welcome to come down the hall to hang out any time.

This is the answer.

My cat is 18, and she has become extraordinarily picky in the past year. The only thing she will eat reliably is Churu. She gets her medicine mixed in it twice a day, which means that now she wakes me up at 5 a.m. daily to beg for her breakfast.

This is exactly as reasonable as any recipe review I've ever read. Which is why I stopped reading recipe reviews.

I don't necessarily buy him as a serious actor. Mad Men was so well written that I think almost anyone could have been an effective Don Draper. My opinion is that he pulled off about 90% of that role based on his looks. (I think it worked overall because there were so many very talented actors surrounding him.)

That said, I love him as a comedic actor. His SNL appearances are delightful, and I'm always pleasantly surprised when he shows up in comedy shows and films.

I think a lot of comedians are this way, and it makes sense. Most of us have a "work persona" that is not exactly the same as what we would consider our "real" personality.

For a more genuine version Will Ferrell, and just a hell of a story of friendship and overcoming challenges, I heartily recommend the documentary Will & Harper.

Which honestly seems to be an overwhelming majority of people.

Tech companies took a pretty good predictive text mechanism and called it "intelligent" when it obviously isn't. People believed the hype, so greedy capitalists went all in on a cheaper alternative to their human workers. They deserve to lose business over their stupid mistakes.
