I have Asperger’s syndrome. I’m also an actor (amateur theatre so far; TV/film one day hopefully). This may be an unpopular opinion, but I honestly don’t mind neurotypical actors portraying autistic characters - as long as they do it accurately and sensitively. See: Keir Gilchrist in Atypical. That’s the gold standard…

If only to see drunk Leah destroy her. Andy Cohen would bring Dorinda back to give her the Tinsley treatment, which Ivanka will actually deserve.

Thank you for your response, I appreciate your position. I do want to point out though, that childcare is not the same thing. If we start providing free child care so people can work or go to school, that won’t retroactively refund years of childcare payments to a random group. And if women (primarily) aren’t bound to…

Yes, the money is gone either way, but had we known when we paid for our three kids to go to college that they could have taken out loans that would be forgiven later, we would have insisted upon them doing so. Then we could have put that money toward our retirement, a nicer house, vacations, and all sorts of other…

Gadzooks forever. Platform Mary Janes and Platform brown suede sneakers were purchased there (along with novelty stickers from the glass case up front)

Ahh I knew this! Thanks for reminding me, that’s what I get for blogging on like... 0 hours sleep. I’m fixing now!

I think this has been, in retrospect, a really interesting case study on what it the purpose of oratory skill in political leaders. I completely agree that while it has been regarded with too much weight at times, these speeches kind of made me realize how much it matters that those leaders can inspire and make their…

“Socialism” and far-left rhetoric in general had already been rejected BY democrats in the democratic primary. But for some reason (idiots running the party who live in coastal bubbles and think they only have to pay attention to voters in major cities) we’re still having this conversation. The article above is…

She added: “We need to not ever use the word ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again... we lost good members because of that.”

Shit on Orange County all you want, but we gave you Katie Porter again, so you’re welcome.

The Republican party is alive and well in all 50 states and will continue to be so long as there are people who place more importance on their own finances than on the wellbeing of human beings they consider “others.”

“... which is why she was able to train herself to be a lawyer without going to law school, she’s doing the, you know, the, the president Lincoln apprenticeship program for lawyers, which is actually a really difficult thing to do.”

I have seen so many warped framings and warped takes on this today.

Thank you! The AV Club went with “Shonda Rhimes’ reason for leaving ABC for Netflix was just the right amount of petty” which isn’t right either; she did earn billions for them, and had to call around herself to sort a minor employee benefit, and then to have the exec speak to her that way... it’s beyond belief.

As someone who has worked in environments like Disney/ABC, I can definitely understand it. What people don’t understand is that working in that kind of corporate environment is basically like having to endure thousands of papercuts every day, only to shut up and do it the next. At some point, you get so sick and tired…

Below please find my response to a commenter over at TheRoot who co-signed up with the exec that implied she has enough cashish to purchase her own passes.

I loved how very scary and dark Dahl’s work was. The girl in the painting from The Witches will always haunt me. I still have all my paperbacks from when I was a kid. The Twits has to be my favorite.

Hey so the main writer on this series, Alexander Woo, is Chinese American.  That should be acknowledged somewhere in this article.  The question should be why can’t Woo do this alone w/out these white guys.

Yeah, it does make you a bad person. So much for body positivity. I guess it only goes in one direction. God forbid someone’s body changes in the other direction. Thanks for proving it’s only “body positivity” if you’re overweight and stay overweight.

I would like to confirm that you are a bad person.
