It's called trypophobia, and is a very real thing ([www.popsci.com]). I don't have it, so I find it baffling, but I'm sure others feel that way about my claustrophobia.
But it is North America. So...
Oh man, Deadspin is blocked at work, but I so want to read that! Will have to remember tonight when I get home.
If she's a med student, the state medical board has no jurisdiction over her yet. The medical school administration, on the other hand, could and should definitely take action. #crosstalk
I turned 35 last week! So far I'm surviving... #crosstalk
It's awesome that HamNo replied to her! And that's really creepy that the username is an anagram of Andrea Peyser, so I think you are in fact right that it's her. #crosstalk
Yikes, that's awful. Hang in there, and stay safe.
This info released by the FBI would have actually been pretty interesting 6 months ago, but it's all in his his recently released biography. The FBI was scooped!
Welp, so long, and thanks for all the fish, I guess! #crosstalk
"I get indignent anger towards food products that sicken you...If you were starving and all you had was cheese you probably wouldn't die. Just saying." Sounded offended to me?
I love cheese, but hated mac & cheese as a kid! It was miserable, everyone's parents always tried to feed it to me when visiting friends. Blarg. I tried to force myself to eat it once to be polite, and promptly threw up.
What's funny is that I actually really like cheese, but have never liked it on a burger. I just don't feel they go together well. I think it's partially because I hate American cheese, so I have negative associations now with *any* cheese on a burger after suffering through gross American cheeseburgers as a kid.
So...because you have some food allergies Brian Moylan's not allowed to talk about it being a pain not to like cheese?? Jesus, it's not like he was complaining about having an itchy foot to a room full of double amputees.
ETA: And BTW I say that as someone who is allergic to shellfish, and has fairly severe gluten and soy intolerances that popped up in the last two years. And yet I managed to find this piece humorous and remain unoffended.
I'm guessing some poor intern who drew the short straw this morning, and must now spend the rest of the day (and night? and forever?) keeping up with the bannings. #crosstalk
This is adorable. And the look on the girls' faces who walked over together to hand the President the retrieved marshmallow was total awe and adoration! Was a cute contrast to the not-at-all intimidated and science-y kid who made the cannon (who was also pretty cool!).
For a moment there, I thought Gawker was hacked. And for that moment I thought it was the most brilliant, tongue-in-cheek, point-making hack ever! #crosstalk
Hm, interesting. The sour cream, polenta-analog, and egg certainly sounds like it could be good together. If it's herb cheese I could maaaaybe see it working. Blue cheese would just be ugh, though, I think. Intriguing, nevertheless.
Well this statement is also quite contradictory to the types of stories we've seen lately, "And we’ll reduce the pressure to churn out throwaway blog items" , so there's that. #crosstalk
I think in the case of the blonde police officer, it's that she has this monotone voice with little to no affect, and yet has a baby-face and cutsie haircut that is entirely out of whack with how we generally picture our teevee cops. #crosstalk
OK, I recognize an egg, and then some yogurt or sour cream (I'm leaning towards yogurt), and then some sort of fruit compote(?) or a pureed vegetable? And then what in holy hell is the scoop of crap in the middle?? It looks like mushed up and shaped bleu cheese. Or tofu. I have a feeling though you're going to tell me it's some kind of reconstituted meat product. Pate?
