I can tell when my mowing deck belt breaks because the mower goes twice as fast. Or at least it feels twice as fast - maybe 4 mph versus 2 mph. (It’s a 40 yo Craftsman). Anyway, my point is, any yokel can do 150 mph on a mower without the blades a mowin’, because it’s not a mower unless you are cutting grass. Let’s…

Well, downforce in mowing is hugely important.  For one, high top speed is nothing when you have a yard full of trees you need to mow around -- and downforce gets you cornering speed. Plus, if you go with ground effects, the suction effect lifts the grass firmly so you get a much nicer finish to your cut.  It’s a…

Just make sure it has a spoiler. Wouldn’t want that high-speed lift.

The weird thing about making movies is that they are expensive to make and the people who front the money for them expect to get the money back. Ideally with some extra money on top! That’s one of the reasons why some actors are paid more than others. They draw an audience to the box office! There’s a good chance that…

What she’s not being is calcualted.  She is saying what she thinks: she doesn’t give a fuck.  How much more clear can she make it, aside from actually saying, “I don’t give a fuck.”  This is her.  

Why does she have to defend herself for getting roles? The people who cast should be catching flack more than her. If she thinks the role is right for her and it helps develop her craft - why wouldn’t she take it?

Gawd that gif will NEVER EVER EVER get old.

Can she come and interview some of our politicians in the US? She takes zero shit. That was a delight to watch. 

Exactly! Like, no, dude, obviously you don’t need to remember every word precisely for it to be true that someone said that thing to you.

My fave was:

I’ve often wondered if you have ever paused to reflect on why you sometimes have such a reflex to get so personal and frankly, bitchy, when women take you on? Have you ever stopped and wondered about that?

Tom and Nicole split in 2001, when Scarlett Johansson was 17. Ew all the way around. 

let it all out dg, we’re here for ya.

My wife makes her own mayo- it’s a simple recipe, you can customize it with your seasoning variations, and it tastes a lot better than store-bought.

I still have not tried Kewpie somehow. I really need to get some.

Yeah, homemade ketchup is typically pretty bad. One restaurant near my house tried to push their special brand of awful on people for a while. Eventually they would keep some Heinz around if you asked. They finally abandoned the idea a year or so ago.

ICE existed before 2003 as the INS, Immigration and Naturalization Service.  This is not a new problem; however, their cruelty has increased as they have been allowed free reign.

Friendly reminder that ICE was established in 2003. The Simpsons is almost twice as old as this “bonafide law enforcement agency.” It is not good, it is not necessary, and we functioned without it for 227 years. Abolish ICE.

I also was thrown off by the “father of 5" thing —- like does he know having kids doesn’t effect HIS body?

Not surprising that Don Jr. is an idiot at weightlifting, too.
