Normally I couldn’t give a monkey’s about the royals at all, but her family is the perfect fairy story/pantomime/Roald Dahl cast of grotesques.

One of my friends married a Brit and lived there for a decade. She’s now been back in the States for nearly 5 yrs. She still does exclamatory “That’s Brilliant!”s, “Par-don?” and the like and her Brit-ey accent has picked up a few Aussie sounding words.

I am only exposed to Brits 40 hours a week and it is incredibly hard to resist some of it rubbing off, *especially* the “DID you?”/“IS it?”/“IS she?”/“IS he?” chirpy auto-response. I can only imagine what it’s like for MM being aroumd them, and only them, 24/7. Give the girl a break!

Any minute now the NRA is going to release a statement denouncing the police for violating his 2nd and 4th amendment rights...any minute.

Wait, they never sent the suspected drugs for testing?

Her conventional attractiveness isn’t going to do anything for the role since it's going to have to be hidden under a ton of makeup and prosthetics. Johannson has yet to carry any movie to great success that didn’t have a gimmick to it that makes it unclear if her presence was the draw. From what I’ve read about this…

I have a number of issues with Scar Jo playing this character. One is with the fact cisgender actors often play transgendered characters and the other is with the fact the trans man Scar Jo is playing was fat in real life. It feels doubly insulting to cast a cisgender, thin actress in this part.

Hey, at least we SEE some aliens in the Federation.

Look I LOVE Star Trek, warts and all, and some decisions are definitely rooted in the shows budget, but none of the Aliens are really all that Alien.

Eddington got something to say about the UFP (another reason why DS9 is best trek)

My uncle has an MBA and a doctorate in “leadership.” As anyone who has had a conversation with the man can attest, one thing is true: if the MBAs don’t kill us, they’ll get us to kill ourselves if only to be spared hearing them talk more. 

I have no idea who Sameer Deen is but I bet he’s an MBA suckass who doesn’t know anything about his actual product.

Remember when The Onion came in print?

The average career length is irrelevant when you’re talking about a 14-year veteran who is arguably the best player in the league at the most important position in sports. (On a team that has only amplified his relative importance, I might add).

Because Star Trek is wholly invested in a weird sort of cosmic Manifest Destiny, where the viewpoints of humans are dominant and slowly but surely, crush all opposition?

A fundraiser has been started to cover funeral expenses.

Especially when they were apparently very well-established douchebags with a history of disrespecting public land.

Should have stuck to the rivers and the lakes that they used to

Really? I think they sound like a bunch of fuckin assholes who trespass to get instagram pics and are too arrogant to understand the dangers involved with waterfalls etc.
