Annotated Twitter: Gluten-Free Since Before The Advent Of Rob Lowe

Waiting for dystopian DirecTV Rob Lowe that is actually much more awesome than the "original."

You know, come to think of it, now that we finally got FiOS, I don't think I've seen a Rob Lowe DirecTV ad. Which, if true, is strange: I don't really need to be pitched DirecTV if we already have DirecTV, right? Or did they just trade him for that horse lady who apparently dates Derek Jeter? Oh, that's probably it. [Googling] Ah, yes, they did retire Rob Lowe. I've officially spent way too much time pondering this.

Mr. Baby, Too's first tweet; fortunately the ability to swipe and sync up a Twitter account is not something the pediatrician concerns himself with.

Pretty sure baby's first word is "cheers!"

The power of talking to your baby.

Call me old fashioned, but I don't know how I feel about children's services that purposely misspell words or overuse the letter "K."
— Bridge + Tunnel Club (@batclub) March 19, 2015
As someone who feels squeamish at the sight of too many "Ks" maybe I'm the wrong audience, but I would have thought that a pre-K program would be more attuned to conventional spelling.

Bill de Blasio is mayor because 282,344 people out of 8 million-plus citizens voted in a primary, or 6.6% of NYC's 4.3m registered voters.

Those who claim a mandate are usually overcompensating for something.

That the age range for this potty book is 4-8 years should be disturbing to everyone: http://t.co/WeiaVLOACe

One night I happened to notice that bit of information on the back cover. Weird.

There's nothing funny here; please quit your smizing.

I see you smirking.

Faster Fogeyism: Suddenly laptops seem august and stately, like a full set of encyclopedias; fuck the mobile display.

Of course I eventually broke down and figured out how to make the site "friendly"; looks like shit sometimes, but whatever the fuck ever.

Has it occurred to anyone that people on their mobile devices are just killing time in the first place?

In other words, three full days of griping.

Why is laundry detergent labeled gluten-free?
— Bridge + Tunnel Club (@batclub) March 29, 2015
Alright, Cecil Adams style, I'm going to get to the bottom of this. By way of background, I started by dutifully trying to collapse a box of laundry detergent, in order to recycle it, because that's the kind of law-abider I am. The dregs of the laundry detergent of course got everywhere, and since Mr. Baby, Too has a real penchant for white powder he discovers on the floor, I took a look at the box and found that gluten-free label. Raised eyebrows ensued. So apparently certain gluten sensitivities (not celiac, which is actually eating gluten) may be exacerbated by stuff with gluten.
