idk man. But this does combine several things that I like.

Of course DHS shouldn’t just be defunded, it should be shut down immediately, completely and forever. #AbolishHomelandSecurity

(EDITED: WILLIE NELSON IS NOT DEAD, THIS WAS A HOAX. It turns out this was a hoax. I really hate celebrity death hoaxes, but I am in this case really glad to be wrong. Cf. http://ift.tt/1zVSF44 ) Damn. Willie Nelson was one of the top-to-bottom greatest living musical artists in the world. This is a tremendous loss.

Yo Las Vegas.

O.K., so, recipe ideas for using up lots of eggs? There are only so many waffles, omelettes and pies that I can make.

No truce with the FCC.

Oh yes it is “real chai.” The word “chai” means “tea,” and “masala chai” is just spiced tea. Etymology is not destiny, but anyone, including even the author of this article, will tell you that there is a huge range of variation in flavors and modes of preparation all throughout India and the Desi diaspora, which huge range of variation the Starbucks drink clearly falls into. You might think it is not very good chai, and I am inclined to agree with you, because more or less everything at Starbucks is way too sweet. But that is a different claim. #SorryHipsters

Just read a story in our student newspaper stating that an art project was going to be shipped to an international art program’s “hedquarters in the Azores Islands off the coast of Portugal.” Strictly speaking I guess you could say that’s an accurate description, in that if you set sail from Portugal and steer in the right direction, you will eventually reach the Azores. In much the same way that Guam is “off the coast of the United States,” or the Falklands/Malvinas are “off the coast of Great Britain.”
