I really hate to be “that guy,” but Simone Manual was the first black woman to win a swimming medal at the Olympics. Saying she’s the first African-American to win implies that she is the first black person from the US to do so, but she’s the first black woman from anywhere in the world. To me, that’s a much greater…

I seriously just kind of glanced at it and thought it must be a still from The Night Manager, which I’m only halfway through watching. That’s supposed to be real?

I go the opposite route - hands clasped behind the back. It actually makes me feel more balanced if I do want to take a closer look at the art. I can lean forward slightly, and my hands go up a bit to balance things out. It’s hard to explain, but the only time it didn’t work was at the fairies painting exhibit at the…

Just did the same thing. “Queen of the Night” is one of my absolute favorite go-to get rockin’ songs. I never understood why it wasn’t more popular. Of course, my second favorite rockin’ jam is “London Girls” by the Pogues, so maybe I’m just strange.

I would bet that your MILs have dry mouth. I have it (side effect of one of my meds), and when I drink tap water, all I can taste is metal with a soupçon of mud. Even filtered tap water tastes awful, so yeah - I either have to spring for bottled water (which I really hate doing) or add something to kill the metallic…

I always thought “fine” meant fucked up, insecure, neurotic and exhausted. I’m frequently fine.

Agreed.

Remember, the prosecutor also gets to strike people. So the ones that answer that question “bitches be lyin’” will also get struck. It’s supposed to lead to a more balanced jury, but it’s doubtful that it does. But the worst ones will be gone too.

Came here to say the same thing. That seems like just about the wokest thing you can do in the sports world (other than not raping).

Could someone please explain what a 3-3-5 triple play means?

Democrats will think he’s a douche bag for considering it, and Rethuglicans will think he’s a douche bag for turning it down. Not sure how he comes out a winner here, especially as it’s made clear that the BLM stuff came from his manager, not him.

All I can think of is the Tom Lehrer line: “it is a sobering thought... that when Mozart was my age, he’d been dead for three years.”

I think the three being considered are Kaine, Vilsack, and Cory Booker. Praying for BOOKER!!!!!!!!

I think she might be referring to the fact that another cop was acquitted of manslaughter in the Freddie Gray case. But who knows?

So what you’re saying is that black women are incapable of making choices for themselves? You know for sure that Leslie Jones actually didn’t want the role, that she felt she had no choice but to agree, and that’s why she did it? Try reading what Leslie Jones actually said about the situation.

Didn’t bother to read the article, did you? I think the best person to decide which roles Leslie Jones thinks are appropriate is Leslie Jones, and that fact that she was not only comfortable making the switch but actually defended it is proof of that. It also shows that the filmmaker was not thinking of…

The Leslie Jones role was originally written for Melissa McCarthy. Feig switched the roles because he wanted to showcase Leslie Jones more. She approved the switch.

He probably thought that she had broken up with Harris to be with him, see, and then this Tom guy just comes in from out of the casting office nowhere and scoops her up...

I kind of the think the Las Vegas Slots has an interesting ring to it...
