I was the right age for it, but I missed Whitney’s heyday because back then I was in the fundie religious world and her music was too sinful. By the time I started to emerge from that cocoon in the early to mid-aughts, her very 90s-sounding music just seemed cheezy. So, I was never a fan. But this review has me…

Precisely. Swap out “The Trump Administration” for “The Catholic Church” in the above, and the same still applies.

Under the religious logic, viable doesn’t mean what you think it means. They operate basically on the dichotomy of dead fetus or not dead fetus. Because miracles. So they will wait up until the very last possible moment, until the mother’s life is in imminent danger, before they act. That’s the only way they can…

Okay, so, here’s the thing: I get it. If your core, central belief on which you base your entire life holds that any kind of interference with a pregnancy is equivalent to murder, these policies make sense. What’s some suffering/discomfort compared to the literal life of another being and, potentially, your immortal…

Return to Me holds up. It is my main go-to movie when I’m feeling shitty about life and need a good, cathartic, chest-heaving cry. Minnie Driver’s “American” accent is terrible, but the widowers’ instant adoption of Bob is one of my favorite cinematic moments of all time. Also, Bonnie Hunt’s character putting her…

Miley Cyrus is, like, Justin Bieber-level douchecanoe.

For me, it’s the complete opposite. The alcoholism was present my entire childhood, but I had no idea. Dad went into treatment when I was 4, and I was told he was sober ever after. He wasn’t, but because I was so young and impressionable, I believed that he was. So, when others would recognize clear signs of him being…

omg, me too. my brain made that record scratch sound and then just stopped cold for a full minute.

Those are cult clothes.

Wait, what happened? Did they all quit? I know about the bullshit “stick to sports” edict, and that their editor got fired for pushing back, but that’s the last I heard.

Right?! lol.

oh my fucking god indeed. wtf.

Came to say this. There are always a few that can’t be trusted not to go too far with an entirely open bar, and some families need a bit of a check on the hard liquor. Open bar as to beer/wine/cider with cash bar as to the liquor is a perfectly acceptable compromise, imo. Aunt Carol can still have her standard two…

Entirely possible. All I was saying is that the tattoo is very bad, very small, and not at all clear in the photo - not at all something we can say is “CLEARLY” a Nazi tattoo (or “CLEARLY” anything at all one way or another). I’m aware there are lots of non-Nazi uses for that symbol, but I didn’t want to get into that…

Does she, though? Celtic crosses are often represented with equal sides. In all honesty, it’s so badly done and has aged so poorly (and is not shown clearly enough in the photo), that it might have even started out as a four-leaf clover. Here’s a screen-shot, so there’s no need to click on the fucking Daily Mail link.…

Yeah, I was going to say - who’s got eyes on Heidi Klum??? That’s the only celebrity costume I need to see.

I was thinking the same thing. Also, the dress/“gloves” appear to be pleather? latex? Looks like she’s going for a “sexy” Holly Golightly thing, which is puzzling.

Yeah, or at least looking the other way.
