Oh man, I play so much better solo after I’ve had a few drinks...like, the effect is noticeable. My friends have given me some side-eye after admitting it to them, but short of popping Xanax, it’s one of the only ways I can stay calm and collected when playing alone.

All aboard the Hot Take Express! *eyeroll* (not directed at you, obvs!)

Has anyone watched Versailles on Netflix? Is it worth it? I made it through the first episode, but after the “black dwarf baby offspring” plot, I just couldn’t.

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, it’s nice to see people - particularly legislators - vocally denouncing and turning away from their clearly corrupt (and insane) party. Buuuuut, I also feel like she ascribes to the Megyn Kelly School of Taking a Stand - in which one is only interested in justice and…

Ha! I sat my desk saying it over and over, trying to spell it out...I kinda hope someone overheard me, to be honest.

It’s probably my favorite scene in that whole movie because on the one hand, you’re super tense thinking they’re about to be found out, but on the other, it’s just so damned hilarious. Christopher Waltz’s insane giggle really made it, too!

I totally just posted that somewhere upthread before seeing this one...there are dozens of us! (and it makes me dislike that dude even more)

I’m annoyed by the fact that I can only read his name the way he sings it.

Also, I hear going around speaking atrocious Italian helps.

I was so sad when Howard left, if for no other reason than his voice filled me with giddy delight.

Definitely the fridge incident, because it deprived us of that Irish hottie, Iain.

Remember how she said that we would meet again, some sunny day?

Ahh you’re so right! I saw German Shepherd-like qualities and a Fallout reference and ran with it...somehow I missed the brain-dome and robo legs.

Dogmeat for president!

These are also the types of dudes who are used to being in absolute control of the organizations they run, and aren’t used to hearing “no” or getting any kind of pushback - because they can (usually) just can anyone they don’t like. Unfortunately for this administration, you can’t really just fire the public at large,…

Paging Ms. Lindsey Graham and Sen. John McCain! It’s time for your dog and pony show!

The sad thing is, Emma Watson’s were from a costume fitting - so that excuse doesn’t even fly this time around. But that doesn’t matter, because people will find some way to shame her over it anyway :|

God, I really hate that school with a passion. I worked in Evanston on Northwestern’s campus at a non-affiliated company for a year and a half, and hated those students with a passion I found disconcerting. Walking into traffic without looking (CONSTANTLY), clogging up the sidewalks and entrances to restaurants just…

Oh god, tell me the consulting firm was ZS...

I had a reversible Chicago Bulls Starter jacket in the 90s, as every self-respecting elementary schooler in the Chicagoland area did.
