@janecoaston I never went in for the Ewok criticism because the part where one tries to pull his dead friend up always gets me

Anyway—a perfect example of the issue with the current state of reading is addressed by Fran Lebowitz in conversation with Toni Morrison—people use fiction as a mirror to see themselves instead of using it as a doorway, or a window, as a way out.

@robinsonishyde Their business model seems to be “we can trick ‘em with the bag fees once and America’s birthrate is still high enough to produce more rubes”

The problem was Spirit was not a budget airline, they were just cheap. Constant delays, long layovers, and their bag and hidden fees often made a ticket with them more expensive than American or Delta once added all up. They had a bad reputation and they did little to fix it.

Budget airlines are essential. Spirit Airlines shutdown will have a tremendous impact on people throughout the country. Everyone cannot afford Delta, American, or United.

Sometimes I get dismayed by the state of the world. But then I see something that restores my faith in humanity. This street sign is one of those things. Sky point to Detective Lenny Briscoe.

A roundtable to discuss the character note of Pete Campbell’s well-established wokeness…is it, as some have suggested, a blue blooded mayflower American aristocratic loftiness over what’s perceived as the lower vulgarity of racism?

@theashleyray The movie is about two buddies splitting the car for Door Dash deliveries so they can get twice as many offers. The first pick-up location is a ghost kitchen that doesn't get the order right, so they're determined to deliver truly authentic White Castle.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 is a little frictionless and high on its own supply of member berry juice, but tbh i was just happy to see my friends Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt together again

@NoahGarfinkel Think about the foods they had when they were similarly high! It was decades ago so it was probably potato based but still

Best case scenario for marijuana: A commercial makes you laugh for 15 minutes and Taco Bell hits twice as hard. Worst case scenario: Your heart feels like it’s going to explode as you panic about your parents’ inevitable death. Anyway, I have some nearly every day.

University leadership and consultants know that in the public's mind "low-enrollment" = "worthless." It's a much easier sell to say "we are cutting low-enrollment programs" than it is to say "we're killing good programs because we burnt money on other dumb non-educational stuff."

I touched on this when I wrote about the recent skulduggery at UChicago: often the programs put on the chopping block aren't losing much (or any) money. They're sacrificial lambs that get the axe in order to compensate for financial mismanagement in other areas of the university.
