Ken Watanabe! (swoon)

Oh. My. God. I am in a tizzy about this news. Bel Canto was a life-changing book. It absolutely unhinged me...I’m not sure I could stand to see it in film - what if they don’t do it right?! It’s so perfect! On the other hand, it’s so amazing, everyone should experience it! Julianne Moore!!

FULL DISCLOSURE: I spent at least an hour researching these bags on Amazon and then another 15 minutes trying to figure out if I knit one before I realized that these bags are trash. I am part of the problem. 

I don’t think the writers choose the headlines. Frida Garza’s Post was very subtle and nuanced in its evaluation of the situation, while the title is sort of inaccurate. 

These eyeballs brought to you by the makers of Oxycontin.

Maybe it’s because I’m now an old, but I just do not understand all of these kids and their face tattoos. They always look terrible. Am I missing something?

I thought this had been the stance ALL ALONG since Catholics are constantly preaching “life is sacred” when women want to have abortions.

This reminds me of when Justin Timberlake released a song called “Take Back the Night” and had no idea that the term had been around long before him and it had to do with sexual assault.

My SO works for a (very small, independent) record label. One of their artists is going to be releasing an album that has a song that’s got samples from (redacted) on it. There are fewer than six people who work for this label, and they somehow manage to have contacted the sampled artist in question to do what they…

I got super excited by the headline thinking it was a record company issue with Chapman having a new record out at the same time or something. Very disappoint. 

The Seth Meyers joke is pretty good, though, right?

Wait courgette and aubergine... aren’t those French terms, but used in England?  So... Markle is FRENCH!  I knew it.  

I’m confused. Is this not courgette?

I read the word courgette as “little corgi” — so I thought the evil British press was saying that Meghan literally wants to eat the Queen’s beloved dogs with her pasta! I mean, I knew the English tabloids were bad, but that would be going too far.

I wondered that, too, but I think they just translated it into the British courgette. I always get confused between aubergine and courgette and gherkin exactly what vegetable alternative name we’re talking about.

She is actually decent. Perhaps even good. Not great.

good god, she is a bad ass!!

Some of those people, it makes sense that he doesn’t recognize, because of his age. Like, Jaleel White has not been in the public eye for a while, and this kid probably wasn’t even born when Family Matters was on. Boy George, I guess his age could excuse him, but he’s got a pretty iconic look.
