Not supporting the joke, but I don’t know where you’re coming from AT ALL. He literally mentioned that there are black gay people and that if Black history month was moved to July they would get to celebrate for two months straight. (If anything was funny it was comparing Pride month in June to BHM in February.)

I appreciated that aspect. But you know with the control that Cruise has over projects, he probably appreciated it too.

OK - I’ll give you rounding 7.5 to 8. That is correct. Besides, all reasonable people should recognize that a “Ni-” in the middle is functionally equivalent to a full “Nick”. To not count it would be needlessly pedantic.

Except, given the current points in their careers (granted, all very different) I don’t think any of them would give a flying fuck. Clooney’s untouchable, Dernmore recently much the same, and Sheen? There’s really nothing worse then the Tiger Blood years. Though you could be right and the producers just flat out misjud…

I’d prefer a road to nowhere.

Even better - take your 8 year-old with you to watch it.

This article says nothing more than “A New York Times/Sienna poll shows Joe Biden with a 14-point lead over President Trump.” Is that a false message? Are they supposed to add warnings every time they mention an actual fact? Or, you know, just make up other facts? Sure, you’re concerned, but save your concern for…

Check the linked article: “I wasn’t scared because in this type of situation, you need to do anything but be scared,” she said. “It shouldn’t be like this and it’s wrong.”

So how old is your Mom? I remember everyone calling it Penney’s so well that I checked. Turns out that until 1971 it was Penney’s. Not til ‘71 did the go over to JCPenney. Huh.

Evil you say? Those fuckers have put me in the hospital twice.

I dropped in to maybe read the lede - and stayed for the whole thing. A wonderful story about a horrible person! Thanks Emily. And remember - good enough is good enough.

Bottle blonde? Well, I never!

I respectfully disagree... about the bad part. A Simple Favor is a good-good movie.

Mr. Torchinsky, I see your source of confusion...“Assuming she’s working with actual human beings” and “he was telling me how the salesmen were all huddled up in a group”

Following the intense twitter blowback Andy Beshear of Independence KS said, “Cool it dudes. It’s that Bozo from Kentucky you want.”

“It also rebalanced my energy, which was gravely off from the stress of caregiving,”

There is and I did it when my fingers still wanted to put in two spaces. I just don’t see why Word doesn’t make that the default.

Exactly. Somehow there’s a difference between a forehead zit and one just off the areola? And don’t you think a nude tuned up only on the face would be a little weird?

Thanks for the suggestions. Many of these I might not have found on my own.
