White paper, huh? What, are black and brown papers not good enough? Diversify your papers!

All bad plastic surgery on women is apparently done by the same surgeon, who happens to be a cat.

I'm disappointed the header image wasn't the NYT's article header image. A very cute photo of the study's dogs on, in, and next to an MRI machine.

The new season of Dancing With The Stars reportedly has Rick Perry, Ryan Lochte, and Vanilla Ice. Because Americans really want to see those three people. I feel even happier that I never watched any of it.

Maybe I can continue to watch the show in order to start a hate-watch thread here every Sunday if other people are still tuning in and want to vent. Eh, maybe not. Somebody else will have to do it.

Funny enough, the last one was Home Alone, because I think it was nostalgic to when I was a kid, and I sort of took Kevin's theme of being master of your fate and being a man of action again.

Hey, Ron Howard is not unattractive. He's a bit too carrot-colored for my taste, but he's not Trump.

For my reputation's sake, I retract anything positive I said about The Strain. This third season premier was long and boring. It felt like Cuse and Hogan had been tasked to write for new viewers; there was only about two minutes of propelling the plot forward, and even that was uninteresting. The dialogue was…

Well, I'm not hate-watching it, like some folks here with other shows; CaliCheese's Criminal Minds viewing experience, for example. If I hated the show, I would quit. I want to see how they'll end it, how it'll be different from the books, and I like elements, as I said, including the art direction. Though if this…

Yes.

No, it's not annoying like a Jonathan Franzen book (a great writer and I haven't yet read The Corrections). But it's actually a well done Southern gothic crime thriller with strong character work and dynamics. Ben Mendelsohn, the standout of S1, said in an interview that the writers created this wonderful Trojan…

It took me way to long to get that. I thought it was a quote or something. It's a sleepy Sunday; I don't need to have my brain on!

This is the fucking stupidest thing, ugh. We're supposed to be in the richest country in the world, in 2016, not in the 16th century holding religious tests. Over a song. So what if he didn't sing it? It's a song. Everybody bothered by this: Get a life! ETA: Oh, he didn't stand up for it. Which is even more idiotic to…

No, Big Satan. Soon to be another Breitbart tier.

Reminds me of when Charles Barkley said he's Republican because he dislikes taxes. Though don't think he's that this year.

Satan endorsing Hillary will get the young people interested. In fact, the Prince of Darkness should start endorsing in midterm elections.

I guess I'm more generous with the show because it does follow the books, and the bright colors, and sometimes GDT directs, and Setrakian played by David Bradley is entertaining. You know, you can find good stuff depending on how charitable you are. Some of the negative criticism, I think, is misplaced. Like how we…

Holy crap, The Strain is back. The third book was awful. The show is less awful, though, to be fair, they haven't gotten to the events of the book. But there are some good episodes and scenes, so I'm going to stick with this all the way to the end.

Jones quotes Friedman from the 50s, and then from like twenty years later up till the end of his life, and he became much more libertarian and conservative. Popper was interesting; he believed more in a social justice worldview that government could help in than the others; there's an interview before the end of his…

True Sadness, the latest album from the Avett Brothers. Very nice, especially when it leaves the bounds of their string folk/country to become grand Beatles-esque songs. Lovely, poignant, about one of the Brother's recent divorce.
