Mike Scully called in to Ben Schwartz's live stream viewing party, and to his credit he calls Homer vs. Dignity "a mess" and said that the entire plot is tonally off. He also said he wished the episode could be erased.

I feel like I deserve a wedgie for this, but aren't we all using it wrong? Shouldn't "boo-urns" be used when you're cheering on Burns? This is the Rainier Wolfcastle "That's the joke" thing ALL OVER AGAIN

I really wish Rowling had gone a different direction with Slytherin. Slughworth was a good start, but it'd be cool to see ambition and cunning not necessarily portrayed as GENOCIDAL RACIST WIZARDS

Wait, I went on a date with a GIRL?

Hozier! They're coming to Toronto in October and I am so excited. Definitely one of the best bands I've heard in the past year.

The mania can be extremely dangerous — quite often when you're depressed, you're barely able to get out of bed, let alone kill yourself. When you're manic, you're still unhappy, and the urge to do something is stronger. That's when you jump off a bridge.

It's always safe to assume everything in here is a Simpsons joke.

Hey, Mandy does good work!

The great thing about comparing Prince and MJ is, to me, they're doing totally different things. MJ is slick, controlled, and unbelievably fun. Prince is dirty, gritty, and unbelievably fun.

I went to college in the States, and I brought the DVD down with me.

Welp, I never realized that was Scudworth!

Caroline Framke is history's greatest monster!
