When you run into your 8th grade algebra crush at the bank.

It’s supposed to be their last Olympics, which means that they’re retiring or going pro or coaching or whatever it is you do, after you hang up your Olympic aspirations. Maybe once the pressure to perform as a pair on the ice is no longer a factor, they’ll realize how much they love each other and are meant to be…

Trump’s budget proposal for 2019 adds $7 trillion to the deficit and eliminates the Corporation for Public Broadcasting,

Man alive, this pair. What’s scuttlebutt on them, Canadian skating-world insiders? They’re like 28 and have been skating together for TWENTY YEARS. It’s clear from watching a few routines that their chemistry is off the charts, and yet they remain hella coy and INSIST they are not together, that they are just good…

Mortal Dictata: a call out

Mortal Dictata: a call out

I’ve had the same thoughts about all of this. I needed a nail file at my parent’s house recently and spied viagara in the bathroom drawer and it was way more information than I ever wanted about my parents sex life.

“It’s funny because he’s treating me like shit.” *sips coffee*

I’m enjoying reading this like it’s a circa 2005 LiveJournal blog post about a group of girlfriends going out to hate-watch The Worst Movie Night, Wine Required. So I’m torn between “why would you all do this to yourselves, I hope you got paid a bonus for risking your mental sanity” and “Can I come too, you guys seem…

Thanks for the group effort on this quite thorough article. No, really.

On the flipside of that, last year I bought some black loafer-style shoes from Zappo’s that were labeled as “leather upper”. Well, the very thin veneer of leather started peeling within a few weeks. I got on the Zappo’s live-chat customer service and asked if there was any possible way they could maybe exchange the…

I actually was able to figure this out.

It’s not an argument. It’s negging.

I feel embarrassed about even knowing this as it’s such a random dorky thing to know, but in the original Victor Hugo book Esmeralda is at least half white French (her mum is white with blonde hair and blue eyes and Esmeralda’s name is actually Agnes) and the Gypsies abducted her when she was a baby and her mum became…

Yes I think being targeted by nazi trolls should go under “accomplishments” or at least “extra curriculars”.

On the bright side Maddi, you now have an EXCELLENT and eye catching topic for all your college application letters.

Evidence Rule 404(b) is pretty clear that you can get in evidence of plan or modus operandi. Isn’t that Cosby’s (alleged) MO? Get them drugged then rape them. Nothing could be clearer evidence of MO. Then it devolves to a balancing test on whether the evidence is more probative than prejudicial. That seems easy to me.…

It would be highly prejudicial to make the jury aware of the breadth and extent of my actions, your honor.

Respectfully, I wonder if you understate the importance of the original. My parents watched it and I do think it sort of eased my coming-out process— at a time where I felt uncertain about how, for example, my dad might feel about me, I knew he liked these five gay men on his TV once a week. They were like a gay…
