This appears to be somewhere between a parody like The Spoils..., or the very serious, stylish A Single Man. Either way, when it streams (which it will) I will be watching it in bed, on a rainy day, eating pizza and drinking wine while my eyes roll around in my head at the pretentiousness.

I don’t remember giving them the rights to my life story ::takes drag of cigarette; swills bourbon; stares out window at the falling rain::

Ted Cruz, a practicing “Christian”

I’m glad they spoke out. The police statement was pretty ridiculous.

I’m sorry.

Seriously, he’s hateable in the show, so it’s like a win win. you get to hate watch terrence whilst basking in cookie and mariah (and courtney love!)

You should watch it for Cookie alone, King DB Howard is just a side dish to her steak au poivre.

There was a time when the CEO of McDonald’s made about ten times as much as one of his lowest tier employees, and he thought it was a travesty of justice. Not 100,000 times as much, but 10 times as much. He felt ashamed because the board offered him so much money for doing so very little. He felt ashamed at making…

I have called in for being “too tired” so many times. I call it “sick”, but it’s really that the moment I opened my eyes I knew I couldn’t pull myself out of bed earlier than noon.

lololololol k, thanks for sharing the criteria one must meet in order to merit the privilege of you listening to what they have to say. esp in a workplace context, bc we all know you can just selectively pay attention there. trust, as someone well-versed in workplace sexism, this definitely isn’t some misogynistic…

Especially the fetal tissue mill part.

ladies when will you just finally learn that every single part of you is offensive and disgusting

Leave it to Naomi to end up being part of the problem. In Terri Gross’s recent conversation with a vocal coach and a linguist, the latter rightly pointed out that posh English men have been frying the fuck out of their words forever and no one seems to mind. First time that occurred to me.

Huh, it’s almost like code-switching is an actual phenomenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-swit…

Women! You’re leaking, aging, hairy, overweight, and everything hurts. And your children’s clothes are filthy. And your voice is wrong. For God’s sake, sort yourself out!

I was so glad that they treated it like the bullshit gender bias issue that it is. You know who has peak vocal fry? IRA FUCKING GLASS. SIT DOWN, SIR.
