Sure, but why did Israelis come to occupy it in the first place? They didn’t choose Palestine to move to because the neighbors were friendly to them or because the land itself was plentiful with resources. The matter is more complicated than a war over a mutually deemed sacred place to be sure, but you can’t remove…

Huh. I don’t see what you see here at all. Jen looks younger than she does today for sure (because Time), but she doesn’t look the kind of young that could have gotten her a gig as a high schooler on a CW show. She doesn’t even look like someone who could pass as someone fresh out of college. She looks like what…

Same. I also just worry in general that having less masked people around might mean that they people who need them will be less like to wear them and that makes me feel weird about not wearing one even though I’ve been vaxxed since Jan. That said, I was at an outdoor mall last weekend and was pleasantly surprised by…

I don’t think the credibility of the threat matters. It matters that he was her boss and either believed that he could or wanted to her to believe that he could. Luckily, she was aware of her own worth and took the matter up the chain of command and they listened to her. The fact that it turned out okay doesn’t…

You do realize neither of us know what constituted a pensive silence right? We don’t have tape, just a written account and we have no idea what constitutes “a pensive silence” to the interviewer. We could literally be talking about 2-3 minutes of someone taking time to think in order to be careful with their words. …

I doubt any guy who settles down with someone too young to rent a car was after her because she’s still ovulating. It’s fine to marry people who aren’t in your exact age bracket, but it’s unlikely that a man without kids suddenly hits 60 and is not only finally into kids but chose someone that young because they…

Governor Whitmer probably isn’t the best example as she does have round the clock protection, it’s just paid for by the state of Michigan instead of the Fed. I do agree though that there are tons of members of Congress who go without government funded security whose death or injury would be more of a problem than one…

I don’t see anything he said as evidence that he doesn’t think about it. If anything I thought it was evidence that he *does.* He sounded like someone who is well aware that he’s stepped in shit before because of his own loose tongue and ignorance, and is concerned that he might be doing it again. That’s a completely…

I think it remains to be seen that Bethany is a piece of shit. He made a joke that was pretty shitty given how seriously he should have taken Depp’s threat of violence against Heard (but would have been kind of funny if the situation had been less serious), but by itself it’s hard to tell if it was a moment of really…

Memorizing lines in the persona of a fictional character about fictional people is a situation where there are zero practical or emotional stakes. That’s not really analogous to speaking honestly about someone who was a friend and professional collaborator for almost 20 years. If he says this is hard for him I see…

This all day. I hate nude lips. For a lot of folks (myself included!), it completely washes them out.  You don’t need to go dark, but let’s put away the lipsticks that could be mistaken for someone else’s shade of concealer.

I don’t think the movie had much to do with it because the press attention on them was already nearing its peak before Gigli was released and everyone saw how terrible it was. I think their star power as a couple has as much to do with the celebrity gossip landscape of the time as it did about either of them as…

*rushes off to google this glorious piece of news*

You’re mistaken. There’s never been a history of the Princess Consort title being used in the U.K. The wives of Kings get to be Queens because Queen is considered a lesser title.

“I think the cowl thing doesn’t translate well, maybe it needs a helmet.”

Had it been my call I would have, but her hygienist just whisked her away to the treatment room where she was to take her mask off anyway. Thankfully the waiting room was empty.  We gave her a new mask to wear out, though she didn’t use it properly.

We had a patient in our dental office come in with a mesh mask a few weeks ago. You could just tell she was itching to talk to us about it. She gleefully told us how breathable it was and that “no one specified what mask you had to wear!” and that she has to wear surgical masks all day at work and nobody is going to…

It’s interesting how different vax experiences are for everyone. Mine didn’t hurt or bleed (I never bleed after shots though, the bandaid I get afterward is strictly decorative) and the only side effect I had was minor soreness around the injection site after the first shot. Second shot was completely side effect…

Right? The terms of their contracts with their labels are pretty alarming (and are often signed when the aspiring idols are 12-14 years old), to the point the Korean government had to step in a few years ago to curb some of the more exploitative practices in the industry.

“As another example, isn’t most of K-pop manufactured (and micromanaged to a disturbing degree)? I won’t pretend to know the scene that well, but given how popular some of the bands seem to be, I’d assume that it makes bank.”
