Some of the halal cart meals I’ve had in NYC were tastier and more satisfying than some of the expensive business dinners I’ve had there.

These sorts of assholes gladly cut off their noses to spite their faces. That’s the GOP base in a nutshell.

When you don’t have enough money to feed your kids, you probably don’t have the bandwidth to run for, win the election, and serve on the schoolboard.

I suspect that they want the poor families to leave the district, which will still cause them to lose funding, but these classist (and possibly racist—I haven’t looked at the district’s demos) assholes would STILL lose money. But they don’t care: I have no doubt that they’d rather shrink the funding pool if it meant…

I mean, I still remember Camryn Manheim’s “This is for all the fat girls!” award acceptance speech and that was...(checks Google) 1998. Over twenty years ago, and that shit would still be making headlines. Fat actors getting parts is still treated like a big deal, despite most of our country being fat themselves. It’s…

Right? She’s playing the game (tennis as well as the sports media), as she should: however she wants.

The IOC is made up of well-connected, self-serving grifters and really ought to be abolished. Poor neighborhoods razed for sports buildings that never the reuse the IOC tries to sell, renters kicked out of apartments so landlords can cash in on the wealthy tourists.

TBF, teaching is not a living wage job in a bunch of places and hasn’t been for at least 15, 20 years.

I actually thought it might end up being Linda (being invested in humanity seeing as her half-angel son is mortal), God going and once again subverting Lucifer’s, Michael’s, and Amenadil’s expectations on his way out.

I still find it kind of amazing that after all the stuff that has come out with Going Clear and Leah Remini’s series that some authority somewhere hasn’t had enough evidence to really go after them. (Only “kind of” because we all know money talks and Scientology has resources.)

Boston, in its great wisdom, has a school board committee appointed by the mayor. (With a few expections, Massachusetts state and town governance is surprisingly backward, opaque, and non-democratic.)

It’s been beyond distressing to see so many people just say “fuck it” with the masks and distancing when we STILL have lots of people who can’t get the vaccine—particularly young kids, who with school letting out soon for summer, will be out in the world even more and still susceptible to catching and transmitting it…

It’s funny, I really didn’t like sushi the first two times I tried it, but then some switch flipped in my brain and it’s been one of my favorites since.

When did Rogan turn into Dan Hedaya?

I somehow missed “Under a Rock” because, I too, am often under a rock, but now I need to go watch them all because what a delightful premise.

It’s always interesting to see celebs who have to be glammed up and perfectly groomed all the time on PR tours and red carpets looking like normal people.

Unpretentious people who are secure in themselves and interested in others, as Tig seems to be, are generally hot in my book.

The food-in-schools thing is really more about money, though: not funding schools enough to support full-service cafs to prepare whole food on-prem, and awarding money to the big food service manufacturers.

I’ve been wondering about this too, and the only thing I can think of is that it’s a carry-over from back when tan = money to go to the tropics on vacation.

Hey, moms need movies, too!
