Does anyone subscribe to NYT Cooking? I'm curious about this eclair cake recipe:

“And here’s the kicker: Cool Professors don’t actually eliminate authority, they merely hide it. By rejecting the outward signs of hierarchy, by wrapping themselves in the garb of student-like informality, they create classrooms where power is no longer visible or accountable. Your professor may theatrically proclaim that the chairs in the classroom are arranged in a circle because everyone is equal, because the professor is just another voice, which is an actual experience I’ve lived through myself. But no one is fooled by those theatrics; everyone, professor or student, knows who ultimately still carries the red pen.”

you know, one could argue that hunter biden is in some ways the ideal democratic foil to trump in that he’s a privileged failson who has a ton of rizz whose dirty laundry is obsessively plastered over every vaguely conservative-leaning media outlet in the country and who still manages to land on his feet. and like…..what could the republicans go after him for that they haven’t already? Post his massive hog everywhere??

I'm assuming this is about the big law summer student who allegedly bit a dozen coworkers before being fired

If a girl bit me at work as a joke I would fight her. I would bite her back, I would break skin

Me: Exercise does not cause weight loss. This is a fact that has been demonstrated so robustly in research that even doctors, who hate and fear evidence, are grudgingly starting to admit this.

Someone reading that post: Cool, but have you considered that exercise leads to weight loss?

Me: I am going to eat you

I’ve been told my entire life not to take showers or baths during thunderstorms because lightening can travel through the plumbing and you know what? I don’t care anymore. If God decides to kill me in that ridiculous manner, it’ll be a hell of a way to go. Going to take the risk. Fuck it.

It's taken six months to get here, but I'm officially stressed about my boyfriend's move to Tennessee (which is happening Friday). I'm just kind of sad and tired.

Anyway, I'm going to visit like a week after he arrives and I refuse to bring more than a carry on so I think I'm going to buy some clothes there and have a little Tennessee wardrobe. Any tips on stores where I can get reasonably priced clothes?

Confession: The letter “t” key on my laptop has been broken since 2024. From what my research tells me, they can’t fix individual keys on that model, and my laptop is no longer under a warranty, but it seems foolish to fork out over $900 for a new computer, so instead I’ve trained my brain to hit ctrl+v every time I want to hit “t.”

But sometimes I have to copy-paste something else besides “t,” which means I need a readily available place to copy the “t” from.

My first thought was to search “tiger” on Google, but if you can’t type the letter “t,” you just get search results about Bob Iger.

I realized words that end with “t” are easier for Google to autocomplete, so the first one I thought of was “crypt.” But wouldn’t you know, googling “cryp” takes to you to cryptocurrency results, and I REALLY don’t want my algorithm thinking I google that multiple times per week.

Then I remembered a cool place I went in London, called Cafe in the Crypt. It’s exactly what it sounds like and located below St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church. When I type in “Cafe in Cryp,” Google does indeed autocomplete it effectively! So I either keep that search result open in a tab or Google it every day.

So, that being said, if anyone works for St. Martin-in-the-Fields Church’s marketing department and has been utterly flummoxed by an IP address from Virginia that has googled their cafe hundreds of times over the past 6 months�� that wasn’t a bot, that was me.

I am the Spiders Georg of Cafe in the Crypt.

Anyway, it’s a pretty cool place to check out if you’re ever in London. Just maybe not cool enough to Google it on a daily basis for months straight.

I found it. It was just buried deeper in my hamper

I got the drunkest I’ve been in a long time last night and the big thing I’m unsure about is where my outfit from last night went. I woke up in pajamas but my outfit isn’t in the laundry hamper or seemingly anywhere else…

Everyone warns you agaist going to the supermarket hungry, but nobody tells you about the dangers of going there too full: I do not want any of these things, for I will never require any food again at all!
