I had a friend who used to say that the Catholic Church’s go-to line was “No, no, no, no, yes like we have always said.”

This. It’s Dolly fucking Parton. Show up, know the lyrics, and give Parton the respect and honour she deserves.

“King, nor Dolly have publicly commented on the concert but the latter is a woman known for her tolerance, so, I’m sure she gets it.”

If they remove Johnson, no one will take the job. But that’s the point.

Imagine bagging the greatest gymnast in history and still feeling so small that you need to play power games about who chased whom. Ban men from podcasts. 

Piece published on NPR yesterday about this.  Women trying to make due with inadequate support from Crisis Pregnancy Centers

The salespeople always leave out a bowl of Werther’s Original, and they know that every grandchild is “Just the cutest little dickens I’ve ever seen!”

Yeah it’s one of those things where it’s a reasonable discussion to have, and even people who generally seem to fit into the ideal (especially women) still struggle with... but a young, relatively thin, attractive person is never really going to be the one who should be leading that conversation.

Wasn’t a big fan of his TDS tenure for a lot of reasons, but whenever his name comes up I always take the opportunity to recommend his book. It’s just outstanding on every level. Especially the audio version, which if nothing else, helps with the various accents and pronunciations. It’s funny and quite moving in…

He did get saddled with the 2016-2020 years, which lasted about five centuries. I don’t blame him for not wanting to deal with another Trump candidacy where the satire is real and there’s nothing you can say to mock it that won’t eventually come out of a Republican’s mouth.

Why is everyone so weird about this one?

I do believe she won or co-won a Grammy for her work on the utterly-stellar When Love Takes Over by David Guetta. It’s a powerhouse of a song and Rowland’s vocals make it a powerhouse. It was insanely popular in 2009 (seriously, you couldn’t go into a bar in Spain, France or Italy without hearing it blaring). It…

Admittedly, the Prettiest Prius ever is a very low bar, but yeah, I actually dig the looks of this thing.

I totally agree. Disney is a corporation run by a board, and their job is to make money for the stockholders. That’s it. It isn’t to make people HAPPY at the park, unless that increases their bottom line, and people being unhappy isn’t having any real impact now. (Will it down the line? That’s debatable. Personally I…

I grew up watching Will & Grace and he was always a hilarious scene stealer. When you heard his trademark, “well, well, well…” almost always followed by a blistering takedown of Karen Walker (“I thought I smelled gin and regret” is a favorite), you knew you were in for a treat. No matter how silly or absurd things got…

Most of those execs look like they just heard Orson Welles The War of the Worlds the week prior on their radios.
(it was a google tablet disguised as radio, but the intern was scared out of their mind and used some really good macaroni art).

Interesting. I found his outsider’s perspective refreshing, especially considering most other late night show hosts are American.

First of all, websites like giving users opportunities to engage, since it gives them a reason to keep coming back. (Case in point, you’re a frequent commenter here, and so am I.)

I’d make a joke about them being sat at the kids’ table, but legally I don’t think Andy is allowed at the kids’ table.
