Someone noted that rightwingers are always yelling “No participation trophies!” for losers in a game, but what are Confederate monuments but participation trophies?

She was good in the film Friends With Money. (2006, w Frances McDormand, Joan Cusack, Catherine Keener). She plays a housecleaner who likes to get stoned, she’s depressed her life is going nowhere, while her friends.. have money but problems too. Directed by Nicole Holofcener. Aniston was authentically good in…

Whoo. For a moment I thought you were implicating Meredith Viera in criminal skullduggery. Glad to know it’s just the bad Limey sorts. They’d sell their grannie’s panties for a quid, wot innit?

Pepperidge Farm remembers. With a leering prurience that at times feels unseemly.

“his decision to cast himself opposite 13-year-old love interest Brooke Shields in 1979's Wanda Nevada.”

The DM had a pic from 1963 I thought was striking.

TCM is really awesome that way- they will include an “Intermission” if that was part of the original theatrical release. They don’t truncate for TV. TCM is a real treasure and I couldn’t do without it. I have the news on in the background all day, but when the news is boring and dismal, TCM is an escape, even if…

OMG, yeah, eight kids, and this degenerate Sean Duffy had the nerve to go and bitch on Fox News how hard it is to raise 8 kids and maintain three houses on his $180,000 Congressional salary. (Which comes with a pension and a Platinum health-care plan for his whole stinkin’ family, for LIFE).

Perfect gift for one’s woo stoner niece who lives in Belgravia. 

Could it be they’re uncomfortable on purpose? Restaurants don’t want people to linger too long, they like turnover. It sounds odd but the topic comes up often in comments at Guardian restaurant reviews. A photo of the place, the topic of furnishings comes up. (Older people do not like stools!). And the idea that…

He also got into arguments pretty often with Kameelah, the African-American housemate. He’s a jackass and so is Rachel, awful. Seeing a pic of them together I think:

I hear you. I’m gay, so I think in the 90s I tried to stay out these weird hetero clashes in academia, because maybe they’re exhausting and unproductive. Because it gave tons of people their raison d’etre to even be in academia. Why would anyone want to solve things when conflict keeps them employed to teach the…

“Way back in the 90s I was told female is mildly offensive because it’s a biological and not social term.”

Was cooler when Oliver could show big examples of the drawings and illustrations, rather than a tiny slideshow with ads. Oh well, Get Out Media is always making things worse.

OT and just musing. I understand when women object to being called a “female” as a noun. As if, that’s the basis of what you are. I can see why that’s objectionable. As a noun, I get it.

“I mean, she did so well at sexualizing monetizing bisexuality at the start of her career...”

In the Daily Beast article, the Lake woman who was “Snake” says that Squeaky Fromme was not “fuck his brains out” at all. That she was quite solicitous of Spahn and nice to him, who was old and near blind, and the women helped clean the house, she says it wasn’t as bad as QT portrayed it. Still, she says it may not…

Helena says she met Margaret once (who was a friend of her uncle), thought she was “scary”. Margaret didn’t say hello, just “You’re getting better, aren’t you?”. Helena took it to mean her acting. Such a funny double-edged compliment, so Margaret.

Serious shit, no offense to you or youe tastes-

His son has indicated he intends to cock-tease publishers and interested readers forever, even as to whether these manuscripts actually exist, for as long as it’s in his financial interest to keep up his father’s rather overrated “mystique”. Yeah. he will drag this out.
