Well shit, when you put it that way…

His buddy Alex Jones had to apologize to yogurt yesterday. Not the best day in the history of deranged lunatics.

I've kind of come down on the side of "They may have something on him, but they weren't developing him as an asset" - at least, not in the way we understand it from pop culture. As in, whether it's genuine kompromat or just that they own a lot of his debt, there's probably something there, but no one would look at…

Who gets the profits from that merch? Isn't it illegal to do campaign fundraising on government property?

Envious that you got to see him. He was the only singer of the Seattle scene who could have stood on a stage with Plant and Mercury and not been embarrassed. Truly one of the greatest rock vocalists ever.

Aw, thank you for the suggestion! I was rarely ever able to tolerate being indoors when under your magical influence - I always felt that trees were my friends and that furniture was out to get me. So I don't know that that would work. But I really do appreciate the thought.

I was thinking about seeing this at Hot Docs, but it's FOUR hours long. I really need to be able to be in my pyjamas for something that long these days.

I thought it did. When she said she was sixteen, the camera was on Liz's face and she looked pretty stricken (well, as stricken as professional assassin Elizabeth Jennings ever looks). I think it was that as much as compassion for Philip that's making her want to go home.

St. Viateur bagels are amazing. And seconded on going up Mont Royal. On Sundays in the summer the crowd there used to be really interesting - I assume it still is - but you do have to have a tolerance for drum circles and LARPing.

And, I noticed, was upvoted by someone who used to use this thread as his own personal therapy session (quite literally) which struck me as being particularly malicious and hypocritical.

Dictator for life Erdogan had some of his hired goons beat up Kurdish protesters… in DC.

And the other thing is that supposedly this particular leak was because Trump refuses to allow anyone to tell him he's wrong. If staffers had just said after the fact "Mr President, you shouldn't do that" he'd ignore them (after screaming at them).

It's about getting Garland off the bench so they can put a conservative in his place. Assuming Trump ever gets around to appointing one, since he seems singularly uninterested in that part of the job.

It's an interesting point, and if one of the guys in the room hadn't been Kislyak and other people in the room hadn't been Russian 'journalists' it would hold more weight, I think. But if Kislyak really is the master of spycraft he's rumoured to be, he probably has experience separating verbal wheat from chaff. And…

Boothe was ill and couldn't start shooting on schedule, I think was the story. I didn't know that's why Milch had kept Tolliver around so long, though - that's pretty lovely of him.

Almost no one in the 1985 series was as I'd pictured them in my head, but almost all of them still made sense. It was like "This isn't MY Marilla, but it's a plausible Marilla" and that's really all one can ask of an adaptation.

Austen's brother was "given away" to a childless family in the way Frank is, and apparently was a dutiful son to both sets of parents, so her breezing over the situation is probably rooted in her own experience, not to mention that Austen is much less sentimental than Montgomery. LMM has some things in common with…

I don't know what the ratings have been like, but having lived through the Megan Follows series: that was an EVENT. On the DVD for Bridget Jones's Diary, the director talks about how Pride and Prejudice had "stopped the nation" - I feel like that's what Anne of Green Gables was for Canada; a non-hockey TV presentation…

For a long time I was sure Cape Breton was heaven on earth. (Then I lived in Lake Louise for a year, and fell for it so hard I've never completely recovered.) But Cape Breton is goddamn gorgeous, and the people - in the Maritimes generally - are wonderful.

Do I have to give up my citizenship if I admit Nanaimo Bars are too sweet for my taste?
