Case of beers in a backpack for Beerfest in college. Being way too stoned seeing Pineapple Express with friends in summer of '08. Opening night of The Force Awakens.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Our four year old found a whoopie cushion at the store and insisted we buy it, in case you were wondering what my weekend plans are

The annual motion smoothing discourse that emerges at Thanksgiving because people are watching TV at their parents’ is one of my favorite annual discourses

Never could I have imagined nearly 15 years, when I bought the first iteration of the iPad, that my future four year old son would be telling his “night night.”

One Battle After Another truly is one battle after another. They even say it in the film. They say "it'll be one battle after another". And you know what? They're right!

ACA open enrollment has begun, which means people are starting to make decisions about their coverage based on out-of-pocket premiums that are double on average what they would be if enhanced tax credits were extended.

So there was a week in 2000 where the PlayStation 2, Linkin Park’s “Hybrid Theory,” and The Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask all released? This must have been the peak of millennial childhood culture

This is about to be the same experience for millions of Americans. An experience health policy experts have seen coming for months and an experience that so many Republican legislators have simply said they “don’t believe” will manifest. It won’t be a matter of belief soon
Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

To be in the club you have to have and demonstrate skill to be in the club.

If you cheat, no one with the skills, who put in the work will respect you or your output.

You cannot cheat your way in.

This is not unfair. This is you being a coward and getting caught.

Write/Draw/Act your own work.

As an old-timer that genuinely enjoys the art of debate, I really dislike the trend of debaters constantly interrupting their opponents un-checked. Props to @abigailspanberger.com for keeping her composure tonight in the only gubernatorial debate in Virginia this year.

The false idea that Democrats, in pushing to reverse Medicaid and ACA cuts, are advocating for an expansion of health care for undocumented immigrants is maybe the biggest health policy distortion since the supposed "death panels" in Obamacare.

I’m not usually one to boycott, because it’s so rare for one to successfully maintain momentum and actually send a message, but I’m going to go ahead and not purchase any EA games from here on out given their new private equity deal with human rights abusers and the Kushners.

The word “doomscrolling” has never felt more appropriate that these past several weeks. It just. doesn’t. stop.
