Every single day, that man looks more and more like an android wearing a skin suit.

Think about how corrupt that place must be, same mayor forever, that changes, and everyone quits.

So, his family can only vote for Hillary over his dead body?

Well this just opens up a whole new world of obituary possibilities.

I can’t think of any good stories off the top of my head, but as someone who was 5-6 years older than the other freshmen when I started college, I feel you. After orientation, I overheard this conversation in the bathroom:

Unfortunately, some people respond to sweetness and light with a sort of avid viciousness. Full-on Vandemar-and-Croup style of “there’s something nice and pretty, I’d like to completely destroy it.”

A better idea: leave him out of the documentary entirely, but mention it just as a casual aside at one point. Work it in smoothly: “Slaveowners, like for example many of Ben Affleck’s ancestors, . . .”.

“Rita Ora” is the name I use to check into hotels when I don’t want anyone to bother me.

Where... where do your feet go?

I don't. :-(

I don’t know, most of these seem just to be the author explaining how they know the person they are writing about. Is that really a humblebrag? I mean, Michael Caine acted in Christopher Nolan’s movies, which were indeed blockbusters. Robin Wright is just saying how long she has known Zarif and then bragging on his…

I was excited to read this. Excited for the eye rolls and chuckles at the obvious humblebrags. I was seriously disappointed. It was context and sure maybe a splash of extra info turns into bragging. But I could not bring myself to eye roll at a single one.

To be fair though, some of these are just a way to establish context as to why the writer was chosen to profile the subject. I mean, if you are connected enough to write about someone fabulous, you are probably no slacker yourself. Which is not to say there’s no humblebrag going on....

I agree and also I think John Glenn cannot talk about his relation to other astronauts and the work that he did and they do without coming across as bragging. Because he was a fucking Astronaut and you basically cannot state you have been in space without sounding like you are claiming to be a kind of superhuman…

Maybe I don’t understand the definition of humblebrag, but several of these don’t seem to fit the bill. Like the gymnast/ballet one for instance.

John Glenn doesn’t humblebrag. He doesn’t need to. The man can regular-brag and none of us-not you, I or anyone else who hasn’t walked on the motherfucking moon-could say shit back to him.

Most of these just feel like the writer is explaining how they know the subject.

From hell's heart I slap at thee.
