    Genetic diversity is a damnable thing. Listen to your body. Mine gets "hot" when I drink (I suspect it's general inflammation when my liver is working overtime to break everything …

    Still waiting for January and my morning ritual of juicing a small grapefruit into an 8oz ice-filled mason jar. It's a damn shame we haven't figured out how to coerce citrus like w…

    The way I read it:they inserted the manager as a litmus test AGAINST aggression / toxic culture. Kind of like when a psychology test is given, the __thing__ they're trying to measu…

    If you haven't done yourself the favor already, read the referenced story, Borges' "Funes the Memorious". It, like most of his work, is a pearl of simplicity and haunting implicati…
