Dowager Empress Cixi of China. She became an imperial concubine as a teenager, staged a coup at age 25, and then proceeded to effectively rule China behind a series of puppet-emperors through the Victorian Age. If that doesn’t deserve a TV show then I don’t know what.

This makes me happy I live in a giant apartment building. Good luck finding me here, Uber driver!
I like this imagining of Phillip and Elizabeth even better than Fred Armisen’s rendition.
“One really interesting thing about Ben Carson is that he was actually on the Titanic and the ship was going down, and he thought that was it! He was a dead man! But then God time travelled him into the future to save him. You’re probably like to present day? But nah I’m going to add a bunch of unnecessary details…
Black woman here.
Ha, nice! My husband finally told my mom I had PTSD from seeing her name on the caller ID 8 times a day and she was allowed to call ONCE a day to talk about wedding stuff and then she was cutoff, so use the call wisely. He said it in the same tone I would have, but somehow anything I say comes from a place of hysteria…
I’v fucking had it with these magazines and media oulets referring to black and latina women as “so and so’s baby mama” - it’s racist af! They don’t refer to Nichole Kidman as Tom’s Cruise’s “baby mama” or any white woman who has a child with any white man of any level of fame.
As opposed to whom? All of fucking California and Colorado? I believe they have a large number of yuppie atheists who believe that vaccines are “poison.”
I lived and worked in China for a total of four years. It’s true that you should not drink a the water without boiling it (I’ve done so in a pinch though). It’s true that regulation on some things is lax. But a lady, like my friend, who has lived in China for years, speaks Chinese fluently, has to be basically…
My FIL has told me I need to take cooking classes so his son doesn’t have to cook for me. Excuse me? I clean and run errands and do a million things that make his life easier but whatever! He also LIKES to cook and gets fucking nervous when he hears me clanging around in the kitchen so who gives a shit, right? It’s…
My husband planned our wedding- he was off work sick, I was working full-time - it made sense for us. The only “groomzilla” thing he did was insist on an enormous and spectacular bouquet for me. I am v short and thought it was too much ( very long and trailing). It was beautiful. Fast forward 12 happy years and 2 kids…
Everyone thinks I’m some sort of prima donna because my boyfriend does the grocery shopping and cooks all the meals (isn’t he put upon, the poor man!). The reason is that when I’m in charge of food, we eat ramen or microwaved veggie burgers every night, and he’s unwilling to eat that way.
This is the pic NBC News used for the story.
My groom is the same in a lot of ways. He has lots of ideas, but really doesn’t have an eye for logistics.
strike a similar chord to a man proclaiming that his emotional state makes him “the woman in the relationship.”
Yeah, I’m curious exactly what the groom’s thoughts about the bridesmaids’ dresses are. Like, if he’s concerned about the color or dress style or whatever, think that’s just as valid as the bride being concerned about the groomsmen’s suits. But if he’s getting weird about women’s bodies in dresses (like, men DO tend…
Like, nah dude, the bridesmaids don’t need your opinions about what we should wear. Go sit down somewhere.
I don’t understand the argument of why single people shouldn’t have houses. Sorry, I worked my ass off, I can afford it. I also employ local service people when I do renovations, yard maintenance, need repairs. I pay taxes but barely consume any city or county services. I contribute to my community, I contribute to my…
"Confused old man" reminds me of my 90-some year old grandpa who has expressed gems like "They're making all the police officers wear turbans now!" Fortunately my grandfather does not have his own newspaper column.
