Hollywood itself is a spectacle, so it makes sense that the awards would be. They are public figures, like you said. The average person doesn’t care who the best dentist is or whatever.

The word she should have used is “trans exclusionary”. Or “cis-normative”. But anytime you use the correct terminology like that, someone pops off with some joke about “wokeness” and cracks wise about avocado toast, so I would probably have just said “transphobic” too, in her shoes.

I watched a highlights tape of award shows with my mom as a kid. The weird moments entertain me. Most of the show is not weird moments where Cher wears a crazy outfit or somebody falls or whatever though. Most of it's exactly what you said lol

I can’t imagine his health being up to snuff enough for political office.

Her steaks had extra sizzle.

There are factors that do influence the “utiles” (as an econ professor would call them) you get from a meal. The experience, the cooking technique, your mood while having it, etc. all can boost it. While I could serve you a standard supermarket steak in multiple locations, you might say one was better depending on how…

Oh that’s easy, she tells the server to go fuck themselves and walks out after paying with no tip.

The trick is, with every new “cut” there are associated reshoots which, potentially, add new cutscenes that can be added in to a later cut...

I enjoy the clothes and dude’s sometimes wear interesting stuff these days even. They’re all at home so meh who knows. I’ll probably check out Tina and Amy’s intro, stay a little, realize it’s stupid and do something else. Then look at the clothes better online tomorrow. 

I am bitter, so fuck those guys! Not Tina and Amy tho they’re amazing and I love them.

I think that calling these dumb parties transphobic is a little harsh. I think a better term is binary-centric. Just like when I told a very good friend in law school that he was being hetero-centric, he thought I was saying he was homophobic, which he wasn’t at all. I explained that not disliking queer people is one…

Why are they so addictive? My partner makes fun of me all the time for watching them. He’s like, you’re such a feminist, why do you watch these shows where women get murdered or abused?? Maybe it reinforces my belief that I made the right choices in my life because I’m not dead?? I don’t know!

K-dramas are amazing.  The romance

I think the deal (and that article is, as you note, unhelpful) is that they are sex reveals, not gender. The two are not the same, and we can’t know the gender.

The bigger tragedy is that Gaga’s dog walker had little to no health insurance.

As someone with an expense account and the need to occasionally entertain clients, I can say that I’ve probably had more than my fair share of excellent steaks.

I’m sure we did. A lot of the New Gods stuff sounds absolutely fucking nuts to people.

I suppose it might be more expensive for a BIGGER steak...if it’s $20 for a 8 oz filet, how much is the 12 oz filet, or porterhouse? What about those monstrous 36 oz cuts of prime rib?

You know this woman is a terrible tipper. Everything about her screams “five percent tipper”

Tipping? Her, a tipper? Highly unlikely.
