@georgetakei NTA. Look at the guest list. Sisters and daughters. Blood relatives. This is a small family gathering. DIL shouldn't have even asked. Then there's the whole picky eater thing. I'm also a picky eater. If I was told that I wasn't invited to something small like this because they knew I wouldn't enjoy the food I'd thank them for thinking of me. DIL needs a reality check.

@Tupp_ed I never could get into the Chrestomanci books, but the rest of her books put Dianna Wynne Jones solidly in my top three favorite authors. Enchanted Glass, House of Many Ways, Hexwood, A Tale of Time City, The Homeward Bounders, Archer's Goon, so many amazing books! I wish she could have given us more.

@georgetakei As the article points out, and as known by those of us who have worked food service, the peeler is designed to be ambidextrous. For your safety, you should always cut away from yourself. A peeler is still a knife, and knife safety is extremely important in any kitchen.

@georgetakei We're not worse off, but we are far behind where we should be since the living embodiment of cancer that is the republican party keeps holding us back.

@georgetakei I'll pitch in. Does he have a donation page set up?

@georgetakei I never needed a permission slip to see a visiting author in school. Not even for Darren Shan, who's books are quite gory. The fact that such blatant racism is being allowed shows just how far Florida has fallen.

@georgetakei Both artists need to turn to their fans and say "Hey, this is between us. You all just sit down and 'ooo' like the audience at a rap battle like you're supposed to."

@georgetakei Minor note: The word 'lesson' at the end of the article really should be in quotes.

@georgetakei Ah, but vaccine microchips are Liberal zombie microchips. Musk's microchips are good old-fashioned monkey-killing microchips like god intended.

@georgetakei I disagree with her no snubs comment, but she is right about subjectivity. Many of the things I love didn't get the awards I feel they may have deserved, and many things I don't care for did. I have weird tastes though, so I can't blame them.
