Hahaha Jax telling anyone “it’s not about you” is a riot. Unless it’s Kristen, in which case...

Another story - This was a few years ago, I was probably 26-ish. I was at a concert alone, at a small venue in LA (the Echoplex), and the room was sparsely filled because I was seeing a band that wasn’t yet popular. The guy behind me, around 50/M, kept trying to start conversations with me while the openers performed.

I was in college and the hard drive of my fancy black MacBook gave out. I had saved a ton of money between graduation and college so I could buy it. My family isn’t poor, but I knew they wouldn’t have the discretionary budget on-hand to do anything about this, so I never told them.

Honestly, I’d pay $35/ticket for them to just live-stream a performance if that helped them keep their jobs. I’d probably pay more than that. This is just...so sad.

A friend from college had his entire asshole fall out during his friend’s wedding after taking three dicks at once earlier that week.

Working from home is not a reality for me, so if my company insists that we WFH, then what? Will IT be giving me 2 massive (free) screens to work off of? (Believe it or not, that set-up is necessary for my job), and will they be swinging by to install them? Are they going to buy me a desk and find space for it to

There were several damning parts of this email dump that stood out to me, and the most satisfying one was the missive from his own brother, which I’ve included below (quoted from this Vulture article), emphasis mine.

I don’t understand why it’s hidden if there’s no other Doodle for the day?

So was Big Little Lies...until it wasn’t.

We’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one because I was actually shocked by how bad she was. I watched E1 with friends and we were all really into the episode other than her performance. To be fair, she wasn’t in the episode a whole lot for E1, but wow, I’m genuinely surprised to hear others liked her

Lily is incredible at portraying the anxiety of someone who is quietly worried.

Wow, I didn’t realize that! Meanwhile, I was listening to Nsync today (don’t judge me, I’m a millennial and needed energy at work) and realized for the first time that in their prime, they put out a new album like every two years! 

Parasite: The Series, or perhaps it will be called Parasites, will air on Hulu. [Variety]

Honestly, yes. Behind Mariah (and Keke Wyatt - look her up), Christina Aguilera has one of the best vocals in the industry, she just seems to have poor idk, representation? Management? Creative control? She keeps chasing fads (dance, electronica, R&B) instead of leaning into music that suits her larger than life voice.

I...? Like, duh?

I didn’t see it that way, but maybe you’re right - I’ll have to rewatch.

The preference against men who have slept with other men is rooted in homophobia, in the same way that a preference against women of color is rooted in racism. Don’t tell me I’m using the term homophobia wrong (especially as a queer woman) - instead, do your research.

Very valid!

Yes, I see that point now. Thanks for engaging in a thoughtful manner!

I definitely see where you’re coming from, but (unpopular opinion) being bisexual is kind of irrelevant? If I am in a monogamous relationship with you, what does it really matter if I told you I’ve had sex with men or not? How does my being bisexual affect our relationship? I think where Carlton went wrong was delibera
