pour one out for The Toast. It's only been two months but I miss it so much.

"…even by Chico's standards" is my favorite sentence I've read today.

NPR and The Atlantic both have a strangely right-wing commenting base. It's the weirdest and I will never understand it.

There was a couple weeks to a month where I would immediately click any time I saw a Newswire with Spiderman in the headline. So good.

So unbelievably common. There was a guy that used to come in and print out page after page of very, very young-looking Asian mail-order bride ads. He had to come up to the desk to pick up and pay for his print-outs and he had no shame or anything. Creep.

"The complexion of the crowd reflects Trump's base, which, according to polls, is white and male. They dress in all-camouflage, or all red,
white, and blue, or—because they are meeting a billionaire–all suits,
gowns, and formalwear."

I went to high school with a girl who's now an overnight breaking news reader for FN. While I wouldn't call her a sociopath, I would call her insincere and just smart enough to get by. Also, her FN makeover makes her look 15 years older than she is.

Agreed. I think Jay came out of this season the best of the tertiary characters.

There's always been a write-in line on the ballots I've used. Which I often use when Repubs are running unopposed.

This is true, if my facebook feed is any indication. My primmest, prissiest BYU roommate is very supportive of Gary Johnson. Same woman who got angry at us for watching Spiderman 2 because it was rated PG13.

You're joking but NBC brought Seacrest to Rio. He's hosting the late night coverage as though it's MTV Spring Break in 1995. I take this as an act of aggression against our good nation from NBC.

Your mom and I should talk. I hate Matt Lauer so much, the smug bastard with his uninteresting Fun Facts.

yeah, what did happen to him? I found him so dreamy when I was a middle schooler.

Yeah, just reading Corey Haim's Wikipedia bio is depressing enough. That poor kid spent his life trying to bury the abuse he experienced.

True. I especially love the regional accents.

Nadiya is just LOVELY and her eyebrows are super on point.

absolutely scrummy!

Lol, true on both counts. I enjoyed the holiday version, short as it was. And one of the bakers ended up commenting here a few times, which was kind of fun!

YES. Jeff Foxworthy was a baffling choice for host. I feel like the holiday bake off was at least moving in a better direction - Nia V and her husband were at least inoffensive and occasionally funny.
