I don’t get why any of us are moving the goalposts with the “It could have been worse.” It should have never been held in the first place. That it was is an un-American abomination all by itself.

I want to see photos or video of the ultimate crowd size. Team trump is posting this one photo that makes the mall looks full and many say it’s photoshopped (I lean towards it being fake). There is next to no coverage of whether team trump is lying and I haven’t seen coverage of him talking about the crowd size, which…

The “Wellness” bullshit comes from DECADES of women being ignored by medical science. It comes from women who have been told that they’re “hysterical”. It comes from people who can’t afford healthcare. 

Oh hell yeah. That’s dangerous as hell (as is the weird connection of suffering and creativity). People who create utopian visions of life without medical choices really don’t remember, or care, about the millennia of suffering that preceded these choices. People weren’t happier before modern medicine—they were…

In terms of NCIS, yea, Harmon IS indeed that powerful. Both he and CBS know that the show will stop being #1 in the ratings as soon as Harmon leaves. 

Also, Jagger produced a child just a couple of years ago. He’s an old man, and I’m not using that term pejoratively- there is no way he’ll live to see that child grown to adulthood and maturity, so it’s selfish and short-sighted. Madonna’s kids, or at least the ones she gave birth to, are likely to have children of…

That’s totally the case. If farmers and agro-business didn’t depend heavily on unauthorized labor, we’d probably have some type of E-Verify set-up made mandatory years ago. As is, there’s little appetite among Republicans to “punish” Republican-voting businessmen for using such labor. 

“when I built the hotel down the road on Pennsylvania Avenue. I use a very strong E-Verify system.”

there are some laws that protect abortion in a few states *IF* Roe v. Wade is overturned - prior to Roe v. Wade the legality of abortion was determined by individual states. It’s really not a great situation but it’s better than nothing. The end goal, though, is a federal ban on abortion which would stop abortions…

“ Liberals are so determined to prove they are taking the moral high ground that they kept on denying that we were in a culture war whether they wanted to be or not.”

I, too, find it impossible to believe that the Queen “screamed” at Meghan or anyone else in the last 50 years. I don’t believe there’s much drama there at all, and if there were it would be a cold, icy stare and extremely uncomfortable silence type of drama, not a screaming type of drama. Archie is the Queen’s eighth…

My favorite part of this story is that he was being mobbed at Coachella and he begged for security instead of just removing his eight pounds of make-up, which would have made him unrecognizable.

I can only imagine what being in a room with Empress Maude (Matilda) and Eleanor of Aquitaine was like... 

I find it funny when people bitch about Thrones characters making really dumb decisions, because history is rife with people doing exactly that.

Came here to mention this, since it was someone in the comments here that turned me on to Trout Nation. I’d forgotten about it for a few weeks but now I’m excited that I’ll probably have a few chapters to catch up on tonight! The woman (James, not Trout) can’t write her way out of a paperbag and can only do cheap…

“Trevelyan” is also the maiden name of Christian Grey’s mother in “Fifty Shades.”

The only explanation I can come up with for EL James’s success is that millions of potential erotica-readers didn’t realize that the romance genre had moved beyond Barbara Cartland. There are so many better-written, hornier, more thoughtful books out there (shout out to An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole, which I…

There may be elements of a toxic work environment that we don’t know about. However, airing your grievances on social media is a bad idea. It made her look petty and entitled. Not to mention the fact that this may come back to bite her in the butt. There have been a ton of tv stars who thought they were destined for…

Ehhh...I don’t think anyone in Hollywood who gets paid $$$ would get patted on the back for scoffing at work. David Caruso, anyone?

I’m not sure how that’s an insult? Soft power in political science terms means using diplomacy and inter-personal relationships to build connections and get stuff done. Harry and Megan are incredibly charismatic and more popular with world-wide media than William and Kate while also not being burdened with full-time…
