I’m in the military, and I’ve lived in a lot of different places. I’ve never seen such a huge lack of affordable housing like I’ve seen in California. Hell, before I joined the military, I lived in a 2-bedroom apartment in Chicago, water and heating included, for $800 a month. I couldn’t find a studio for that in…

How’s that affordable housing and homeless population crisis working out for you guys?

Would have posted it if you hadn’t.

I really do have no idea if my taxes are accurate, I just tend to hope TurboTax knows what it’s doing.

Their cover of Meghan Trainor’s “No” was good, but I’m pretty sure that’s the only thing they’ve ever done that I actually liked.

Happy Chanukah?

Merry Christmas?

I always loved her roast of George Lucas.

Twitter doesn’t have enough Arab speakers to support policing doxxing in Arabic? Why the fuck not? Arabic is the sixth most spoken language in the world, with over 420 million speakers. California has the biggest Arab-American population of any state in the US, estimated at 715,000 people. Perhaps the Network of…

My parents did that when we were kids.

That or banning abortion. I know a lot of Trump voters who didn’t really like him but decided that the supreme court vacancy was more important than any other issue.

Mandatory reporters exist outside just the realm of children. I’m in the military and if I tell my supervisor that I was raped or abused, he’s legally obliged to report that.

Evergreen comment.

If he’s getting drug tested four times a month and has to pass to see the kids, I’d say he’s definitely not doing hard drugs, because the drug screenings would catch that fairly quickly. That’s if he’s complying with that part of the custody order, of course. But if he was just neglecting to make any visitation…

I used to work in a bookstore in the center of a major American city, and occasionally celebrities would visit to do book signing events. One was Cal Ripken, Jr., and he hung out a bit afterwards in our staff lounge, telling stories to our GM, who used to play baseball in college. One of our employees was partly deaf,…

Literally the only thing I don’t like about this season is that Greg left.

I’m okay with musicals starring people who aren’t extremely talented singers, per say. Hell, Debbie Reynolds was in Singing in the Rain, and she wasn’t a hugely talented singer or dancer, IMHO. She definitely couldn’t really keep up with Gene Kelly or Donald O’Connor, which you can see by how “Good Morning” was…

My dad basically grew up in an English boarding school in the 1960's, back when they could still beat you (I don’t think they do that anymore?). Basically, his parents divorced, and no one knew what to do with the kids, so off to boarding school they were shipped. He was miserable because he was beaten with a cane, so…

Too late, bro, had my kid in 2015.

Also, the maid and her family took care of her after Richard died, when Rory was gone and Emily and Lorelei weren’t on speaking terms. I think they got attached in Emily’s loneliness and lack of family, and sort of adopted each other.
