Gen X never tried to divvy itself up into various tranches to turn on each other.

whatever, nevermind
We've been taking care of ourselves since elementary school. No fucking gold stars. No pats on the head. We subsist on eyerolls alone.
When the nuclear winter comes we'll eat that damn irradiated candy bar, light a cigarette, and turn up the boom box. Fuck it.
We made songs about nuclear apocalypse IN GERMAN rise to the top of the charts. You can't touch us.

Truly amazing how those who spent 5 years studiously avoiding reading Trump's tweets claim to be such experts on @neeratanden's.
Tanden scrapped with both Republicans and some lefties, but yeah, it seems that some who were happy to throw punches for their camp don't like to be even elbowed, if the person with sharp elbows is a woman, and a woman of color:
As for @JoeManchinWV, he's doing this to display his Blue Dog heterodoxy, but honestly, does anyone think Tanden's tweets matter one iota to his constituents? It's the most inside-the-Beltway posturing ever.

Admission time: I didn't know dishwashers have a drain trap to clean out and, after 10 years, I just did that and it was horrifying.

Also white vinegar is a magical elixir for all things cleaning.
Glad to see that even among my middle-aged peers I'm not alone. So here are two links to get you on your way. bobvila.com/articles/how-t…
I'm a "rise the shit out of dishes before they go in washer" person, which is the only reason that this thing still works and we haven't died of some kind of cross contamination.

Anyway, if you haven't done this, go and do it.

The group chat recrimination is going to be seriously epic
How big would this group chat need to be to avoid being fingered?

My wife can't fly alone with our kids is a helluva spin

The kids are 10 and 12. Heidi's Goldman Sachs executive. It's a 2.5 hour flight. I think she can handle it.

Also you're supposed to quarantine for 10 days when you come back from abroad. He'd do that for an overnight?
also
"Wanting to be a good dad"

you'd think that the way to do that would be to set an example by pulling out all the stops to help Texans. Nope.

Alden to strip more newspapers for parts.
A big, maybe even the biggest, reason we're in this hyper-partisan, post-truth, conspiracy reality is because of the destruction and underfunding of legit reporting media, up and down the food chain.
Hopefully this is good for the @baltimoresun. (Not a lot of detail out there yet.) As with every place, that place needs good local media. baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz…

I feel like #TexasFreeze folks could use some tips from people used to extreme cold. No better source on that than dog sledder @BlairBraverman. Here's her thread
put on layers of down/wool/anything to create pockets of air and pile everyone into one bed.

and make sure to pee. don't waste body heat on a full bladder.
If you're just miserable but know you'll be ok, please check on any elderly or disabled neighbors.
