I guess that’s another good reason the member I worked for (years ago) always ordered from the Cannon HOB grill in the basement instead of making the trek to the Member Dining Room.

“...he’s not allowed to consume alcohol and caffeine, which puts some tight limits on his beverage choices... when other people are watching.” 

But how do you know it’s satanic without first communing with Satan?

Okay, granted. And all of those writers were long gone, anywhere from 3-10 years ago. You don’t know why they left, or what internal circumstances. It’s highly unusual for any company to discuss personnel matters in public, so neither of us know whether they left on their own or were asked to leave. So did other…

I’m sorry. What now?

Hi, Terry! Can I get an autograph?

I’m really looking forward to the nuanced take on his passing and legacy that Deadspin will post tomorrow. Oh wait. Shit.

Between this and Pompeo’s assertion that a European educated foreign affairs journalist pointed at Bangladesh instead of Ukraine on a blank map when challenged... I guess it seems that the idiocy in this administration is just trickling down more and more. Not that these people weren’t dumb previously, they just had…

They’re tired because everyone keeps trying to imitate Punk’d, without understanding what it was that made Punk’d fun. Which was, rich people messing with other rich people. Even then no one actually was hurt, or lost anything of value, or put in needless danger. So yeah, it was pretty cringy at times, but there was…

My daughter is still a bit too young for superhero movies generally, but I’m so glad that this movie and Wonder Woman exist (and soon to be Black Widow) so she doesn’t have to have a steady diet of Disney Princesses until her teenage years. Not that some of those aren’t pretty good, but variety’s important.

Oh, please. Don’t discount the very important fact that she hasn’t texted anyone to commit suicide since going to prison. Please also ignore the fact that she hasn’t had a phone.

Yeah, it is real and it is a problem. On one hand I understand fully why people want to do it, but it is also a blatant misuse of the immigration system and is a clear vector for human trafficking. Cutting off birth tourism (if applied equally!) is perhaps the only Trump immigration “reform” that I’m not going to get…

Your kid doesn’t have to even be famous. Just don’t bother to show up a few times when your kid and their family really need more than thoughts and prayers and see what happens. Then be upset and keep trying to talk about “what did we do?” It’s not what you DID, it’s what you actively DIDN’T do. Sorry, not sorry.

Song for the New Year. Rats and plague and riders on a white horse all somehow seem appropriate.

Yep. Good for him for sticking by his convictions.

Who the actual fuck puts raisins in potato salad?

This is true. But the burden is not on Grande to prove that she didn’t hear it, but on DOT to prove how she (or the other seven) did. You can’t prove a negative, and it’s the job of the accuser to present the evidence. All Grande actually has to do is sit back and refute motions while DOT twists himself into knots…

Also, any semblance is literally meaningless unless the “original” artist can prove that Ariana had actually heard the song in question. There’s a lot of copyright caselaw on this, and its pretty clear that simple similarities, even relatively extensive ones, aren’t enough to prove infringement unless the infringing…

Bingo. Much more Dunkirk. It’s a storytelling device, not a plot twist.

Puts a new spin on Electric Ladyland. Which could be both a Hendrix album and a battery-powered Fleshlight.
