And I just realized yesterday that The Golden Girls is the only tv show I have seen so far that addresses—rather casually (for the 80's)— the fact that crossdressing men are largely straight cis males. I think that's interesting. Not to say there are no other shows that point this out, but I personally haven't seen…

Damn it. Make this a real thing, people!

I have a friend of a friend who, honest to God, tried brushing his girlfriend's teeth as a kind gesture.

I'm hoping in my lifetime. But...

ewww....

BTW "just kidding I'm White" is indeed a thing. I've heard it many times, and it's even been said to my face...

Tom Cruise is so amazingly thin skinned it's hilarious to me. He reminds me of a couple of old co-workers of mine doing a correspondence course for legal secretary which made them think they could threaten to sue any co-worker who ever said any bad words around them or offended them. I'm talking being offended because…

Time for people to learn more about Morgan Freeman:
