“...Icke is, though, also someone who believes that our world is secretly controlled by a reptilian race, an army of enormous shape-shifting lizard people known as the Annunaki...”

When I lived in Los Angeles and had my own computer consulting company she was one of my clients.  She was one of the most wonderful and sweetest people I’ve ever met and the rest of her family was lovely too.  She will be missed sorely.

imgur has a nice collection of all(?) contestants.

Same!  Laughter, tears, and laughter through tears!  And the thing she ended with about Vincent and Theo Van Gogh slayed me and I think about it all the time.

Polyester is really hardwearing ...

Correct take. The 3 syllable rhyme is actually a pretty technical pattern, and not an easy approach. Not a fan of Nicki’s whole image and music, but she can spit. If people just see it as “head”, they probably don’t listen to hip hop more than casually.

The writers keep retconning her character’s backstory.

“Last, but not least, I want to thank me. I want to thank me for believing in me. I want to thank me for doing all this hard work. I want to thank me for having no days off. I want to thank me for never quitting . . . I want to thank me for just being me at all times. Snoop Dogg, you a bad motherf - - ker.”

He used this to encourage people to kill themselves.  He told them over and over that their group was persecuted and that back in the US there was a race war and the government were killing black people.

Mayor Moscone, Harvey Milk, Willie Brown — they were in the thrall of Jones as a political…

There’s a difference in just not including someone and actively excluding someone.
You’re right in that no, Rihanna is not going to have every ability, every fitness level, every body type, every nationality. And nobody expects her too. But to try to branch out, to spread it out and not just focus on one specific body…

“Good PR”

Babies are expensive. You might want to replace...

They aren’t “swingers” but they definitely go outside of the marriage. You may be on that side of the house with someone else and I may be over here with some other joker. That means to me that sexually they may be getting it in with others but they don’t gallivant around swinging because that is a specific thing. But…

“We’ve always wanted the queen.”

They do! I have been living for the Korean dramas and Mexican telenovelas.  You just have to know how to find it.. and once you tap in, the mighty eye of Sauron fixes on you and you get everything tossed at you.
