That whole Jaime/Brienne, lost-my-virginity-over-Christmas-break story line was so unnecessary and out of character. And it ended in the most outrageous way possible.

The problem is that we should have had like two-three seasons of Dany and Jon falling in love while the pressure-cooker that is the White Walkers and Cersei builds. Dany was always going to get to this place but the shortened timeframe cut her character development off at the knees.

I don’t think Dany’s a tyrant and I agree that the internet is super hyperbolic about her Mad King connection. I still think her good intentions - the ones about breaking chains and freeing people - are all there.

I’m creeped out by the teeth, but I agree; it’s not the only bad thing. It’s a piece of a whole amalgam of bad choices that make this Sonic look like an amateur police sketch of Sonic. It’s the same kind of feeling I get when I see pictures of dogs that look like humans.

“World’s kindest cheerleader” is a perfect analogy.

MC Skat Kat, ne Gavin Wilkinson, quit heroin eight years ago with the help of his third wife, Moonbeam, who is a doula and homeopathic soda maker. They live on their ranch in Topanga with their sons Sol, Xerxes, and Squanto and are completely off-grid and unvaccinated. Skat Kat just released his third folk album with…

I hate that I’m citing this, but she was always such a sweetie on American Idol (yes, I know it was her “role,” but it seemed really genuine). I love how even when she thought an audition was so heinous it rendered her into fits of laughter, she had the decency to laugh behind a binder or something. Like, Paula!…

This feels like a good place to say Happy Birthday to all my fellow Tauruses (mine was on Monday). I love articles that are clearly about me in particular, as this one clearly is. (I am Melania)

I agree that she seems a little uncomfortable around all the stick figures she’s friends/works with, but I think regardless of how James’ comment made her feel she should have come to Lisa about it. Even if the shorts comment didn’t deal a direct blow to her self-confidence (which I’m sure it did, it would for me),…

His Donny Gary songs are also pretty good (not as good as the MSL stuff but I love the way he warbles in these):

The first time I heard it I was in tears. Now I don’t really laugh at it so much as I do the lead-in: the set up Nick Wiger has to create to dupe Scott into letting him sing it one more time. I think since it only happens once a year, and has happened for like seven years running, it’s a treat. There’s a video of Nick…

I need to watch/listen to the interview to truly understand the context of Lisa’s joke, so I believe you could be right: that she’s just trying to uphold this image of the bar’s owners as jet-setting playboys. I still think that in any other real-world scenario, a restaurateur wouldn’t be dunking on her own business…

I think we’re conflating the word “ruining” with “eliminating the thrill of suspense.” Like if someone spoiled next week’s Game of Thrones for me, I’d be fucking pissed because I was robbed of the element of surprise or shock. I get excited by the unknown. I’d absolutely still watch the episode, though. I love the…

Exactly. I was in Mexico for the second episode of Game of Thrones and thus couldn’t watch it live. I was flying home the next day and consciously avoided all forms of social media (this is hard for me). I watched the episode the minute I walked into my apartment (at 2:45 am, thank you) just so I could go on with my…

Fat girl here commiserating with you. My mom also put me on WW when I was 10 or 11 (she tried to do it as gently as possible by “doing it with me” even though she’s always been a size 2) and all it did was weaponize the concept of food.

Take it from someone who was a fat kid all throughout childhood, lost 30 lbs in college, gained 40 lbs back, lost 30 lbs when she was 30, and then gained 40 lbs back again: being called “fat” hurts no matter what your age, weight, or self-confidence level may be. And it especially hurts to hear it from a child, since…

Yep. I’m in the same camp as the soon-to-be-father. I (single woman with boyfriend) have constantly felt since 11/9/16 that I don’t want to have children unless Donald Trump loses the next election and the wave of sentiment for his policies goes mostly away.

“errrrr....” Agreed. I also think it’s kinda dumb that they retire a character who dies in real life. I still think you can do a Garry Marshall or Alan Thicke impression without desecrating their memory if you give it a few months.
