Okay #foodsky ... when did light brown sugar become such a thing? When I was growing up, there was only DARK brown sugar. Now it seems hard to find.

Grocers, I want the DARK brown sugar.

We're failing by not offering them a better choice for making a difference. The more we ostracize them the more radical they become. We're failing by not loving them but...I'm not sure I'm up to the task.
Loving your enemy is way harder than hate.

Bones and I, chatting about some folks' views on alien life.

Me: It all goes back that "God's image" thing.

Bones: Pretty limited view of God.

Me: It doesn't even include women. We were created from a man's rib.

Bones: Yep. Women are just the McRib of the universe.

Me: THANKS, BABE

I'm looking for some good history podcasts on the 16th century (and by "good" I mean as not made up as possible but also interesting). Specific interests: Ottoman Empire, #pirates, barbary coast #history #historians #podcasts
