Yeah, I was honestly assuming that would be the one they picked—and then Miranda could have been co-nominated with Opetaia Foa'i, which would also have been nice.

I did end up rewatching The Artist once, but it's not exactly a go-to.

We were all furious at Trump for calling Meryl Streep overrated, and I support people being furious at Trump for anything and everything he does, but considering that the world's collective response to her nomination seems to have been "Oh, for fuck's sake, really?" I kind of wonder if he didn't have a point.

I'd really love it to at least take home Best Adapted Screenplay, for exactly the reasons this article mentioned. I remember reading the short story years ago, and the screenplay really is genius at using the specific structural tropes of film to produce the same effect that Chiang did by using the tropes of…

I do recall being assigned to read it in high school, though.

I'm fascinated by the idea of using whole calf heads (or other animal heads) in recipes, but I can never quite picture it—like, at what point in cooking do you remove the hair, and how?

My mom swears that pig ears are delicious if you can get past the fact that they, you know, look like pig ears. She had them at some kind of hipster restaurant in the South.

I keep telling myself that I don't understand people who want to play the same romance over and over again. And then I keep banging Alistair, Merrill and Dorian every time I go near a Dragon Age game. It's pathological.

My femShep halfheartedly romanced Kaidan in ME1, but the minute Garrus became an option, she kicked Kaidan's ass to the space curb and hopped right on that.

Instead of Little Boots, he's Little Gloves.

Oh, and they're throwing fits now about all the "godless liberals suddenly being experts on theology" when it comes to refugees. Then they try to divert the subject to abortion, like a more religious "BUT EMAILS!"

"I'm not Kellyanne Conway," Kellyanne Conway said.
