If you’re going to go full bonkers on your kid’s name, that’s your prerogative. If you do that, my position is this: Maybe make sure the name you choose has a “mainstream” fallback. Either make it able to be shortened into a more common name (Contessina becomes Tess, for example), or give them a common middle name.…

A friend of mine had a daughter last month. Ethel Hazel Agatha LastName.

Yeah but if they acknowledged that they’d also have to acknowledge their shitty, dead marriage is a shitty, dead marriage.

I cannot imagine packing another human’s suitcase aside from a child or an ill person. I would never assume my husband’s day-to-underwear ratio.

According to the former showrunner Sapochnik, Daemon can’t get it up because he knows deep down that it’s fucked up to use Rhaenyra as a means to get back at his brother. He mentions this in the little behind the scenes aftershow bit. The director also mentions that he has trouble because he wasn’t in control of the…

Exactly. The power dynamic makes this workplace sexual harassment, plain and simple. They obviously like each other and wanted each other...but I just kept thinking “Rhaenyra, you’re going to get him killed!”

There’s also the “ethically fraught” situation constituted by Rhaenyra’s sexual advances towards someone who is essentially a subordinate under her direct control, and who would not (reasonably) be able to refuse her if she were to press the point, given her power to have him dismissed (or killed) on a whim.

Yes, the brothel scene was pretty hot and we all feel weird about it today.

Or that Lea Michele may have even requested more body-conscious costumes - this is also a possibility. And not unusual.

As a former hot person*, this is very very true. A lot of the dudes who used to try to “get” me would generally only be interested in me existing by their side as a pretty ornament without a thought in my head and being a fuckdoll at night. 

I completely agree, and it hurts men too because they don’t really ever know what they want.

Cooking bigger batches of things (which does make it more economical if it doesn’t get wasted) tends to result in eating the same meal for a week at a time. If you deviate and cook something else before those are finished, you now have two dishes to finish that you hope you don’t forget about.

Cooking for one is fucking expensive and wasteful.

Now this was a clickbait headline if ever there was one. After reading her actual comments, there’s no there there.

I would listen to this podcast mentioned in the article.  i’m swamped in podcasts but Bjork curating deep cuts from her archives and chirping arcanely about them is something I apparently need to hear. 

I believe he means that one of the kids likes to wear long trench coats and dark-sider stuff like combat boots. Probably longer hair, maybe dyed. Listens to like, Marilyn Manson ish music, though I doubt one of these kids would be so pedestrian. They probably have access to all kinds of underground garage and punk…

This is absolutely vile.

NY Post is a cesspit - it’s basically NYC’s answer to the Daily Mail or the Sun. Their journalists are mean, awful people (in my personal experience as a PR professional) who write ugly, bigoted stories. I’m not surprised the comments section is similarly awful.

We just need to let white girls do their goofy shit in peace. The hyperfixation on white women as the height of sexual desirability means their tastes and interests are often policed.

Just google it to see the pics.
