An opening came up when we stopped hating Adam Levine.

Hiddleston has a double first from Cambridge, so I’m going to make the somewhat classist assumption he said “I don’t conflate the two” and the reporter didn’t even know “conflate” was a word.

If I remember the psychological analysis of this story, the Beast represents the heroine’s sexual desires, which at first terrify her. When she learns to accept and enjoy sexual passion, the Beast symbolically transforms into a Prince. So basically, not about a creepy kidnapper, but about a young woman learning to…

Starting an (even consensual) sexual relationship with your employee? Shady af. Being manipulative when she tries to break off the relationship? Doubling down on the shadiness. It may not be rape, but it’s probably sexual harassment and possibly hostile work environment.

TFW someone stars a comment you don’t even remember making. You go, 2015 me! Right on!

Hey, I’m still waiting for the rubles I supposedly earned by joining that big 1982 march in New York against nuclear proliferation. Vlad, I’ll settle for kopeks on the dollar at this point!

I am not really able to form a coherent response to this yet. But if anyone touches my father-in-law’s headstone, I am going to come looking.

Would love to see that, because for chrissakes, DNA is DNA.

So, guy who punched and kicked a woman in her face walks away clean while guy who kicked her car faces jail time? Seems legit.

WRT Demi’s DNA results, is it a little weird they can break European descent into a bunch of subregions (Iberian Peninsula, Scandinavia), but then just “Africa”? Is it because of the small amount of her DNA from that continent? Or...?

A speedy self-correction on the shade vs. read distinction. Shade court must be making a difference!

So basically, if you stole that money, nobody should be able to ask for any of it back? It’s your private wealth now and no one should be able to confiscate it?

Rep. Barbara Lee speaks for me, so it was pretty much 500 people bathing her in adulation and begging her to save us.

AND JUST LIKE THAT I LOVE PEOPLE AGAIN.

Downtown is 1000 percent more lively than it was when I moved here 30 years ago and you could have rolled a bowling ball down the sidewalk at 17th and Broadway at 5 p.m. without hitting anyone. I wouldn’t want to go back to ghost town days.

You also make a persuasive argument. Basically, I can remember when that building was an Emporium, and gorgeous. What Sears did to it was a crime against architecture.

Well, you make a compelling case.

You’ve got to admit, though, T.O.’s off-the-field issues didn’t exactly tank his career.

I am not a labor lawyer, but this sounds so so so illegal.
