there's only one LD - larry david.

They do! I haven't been in a while but that's my favorite! She was in the first play I saw there, before her daughter was famous. That deli is as old as I am.

Yes, what is happening?? TV used to be much more diverse. And movies too, even. Today we would never get a movie like The Bodyguard, with a black female star and a white romantic lead working for HER. It's impossible to see that these days. What is happening?

Tokenism is infuriating, but many show producers don't include people of color at ALL because that's how their real life works. Not because POC are not THERE in the area where they grew up in, but because they don't even exist to them. So of course they think, why include them on my show? If I have ONE single black…

"Just be sure to insist on loyal, kind, loving and emotionally dependable people, and NEVER be hesitant to break things off with those who aren't."

That was the greatest thing about her as a kid: she believed in the intelligence of her audience. It was so irritating being constantly talked down to by seemingly every adult in existence, and she was such a breath of fresh air.

ERIN I JUST HAVE TO SAY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE AGAIN ANY TIME SOON. I CANNOT LOSE ALL OF YOU THIS QUICKLY NO.

*cough* Just sayin...

Just gonna leave this here...

I would definitely move anywhere Lorrie Moore asked me to, she is my hero.

Hear hear. Exactly how I feel. I'm not even sure what I would say makes a "great attorney." I'm competent and can think on my feet, but I don't think it comes as naturally to me as it may to other people. I have to work really hard at it.

100% agreed. You're right, def not a football issue but an NFL issue. I guess in my head the two are synonymous but they're really not, the NFL just has shit in a stranglehold. College football has its own set of issues because of the NCAA so you're totally right, HS football is all we have! Blurgh.

Just popping in to say that I've been watching the pre-game coverage and I am really tired of the announcers and sideline reporters discussing how all this Ray Rice stuff is a "distraction" from football and can the Ravens "overcome" said distraction. I don't like that choice of words. Football is a distraction from…

I'm getting so tired of the "Real men do X" thing. "Real men" hit women. "Real men" rape women. "Real men" make excuses for other real men hitting and raping women. "Real men" also (and overwhelmingly) don't hit women, don't rape women, and condemn men who do. They're all "real men." That is the damn problem. I don't…

If God lent me this penis, it's gonna be pretty wrecked when he gets it back.

Honestly, after hearing this story, I don't want to hear anyone argue that school is not like prison now and days.

A) What the fuck. You can practically see him stamping his feet via text message.

You'd think the whole "pending replies" thing would have gotten rid of the porn/torture/offensive GIFs. Is there any plan in place to deal with this in a more substantive way? Because I'm real sick of this shit.

I love how many of those are directed at Charlie, lol. "Goddamnit, Charlie!"

It could have turned out pretty inspirational and heart-warming .... alas.
