orrrr five more kids to start their own doomed and noble house...! hehehe

On the one hand, good for him. On the other, he seems completely unprepared for the rapidly approaching day when the Wet Bandits get out of prison.

I mean he did have pretty crap parents.

Can we somehow keep both Zahri and Behrad in the team after everything’s resolved, please?

I actually feel embarrassed I didn't recognize her (I wasn't looking at the opening credits roll call) after spending years crushing on her during "Leverage"

Walk is already a big reach

The GoFundMe for this thing was created in December. Their goal is ten grand. They've raised $190.

To geek out a bit: the linguistic principle at play here is Grice’s maxim of quantity, which says that we try to be as informative as we possibly can, and give as much information as is needed, and no more. If I have five apples in a bag, and you ask me how many apples I have, and I say “three,” I have not said…

Don’t forget that if people are simply ghosting you, there is a chance your workplace’s morale is so low that workers feel no need to respect you. Basically, the manager reaped what they sowed.

In the pantheon of monsters, the Wendigo isn’t nearly as well-represented on screen as the vampire or the werewolf.

So they are saying that they have cut staffing levels to the point they cannot cover any absences? I call that poor management.

I do not believe that NCAA gymnastics uniform rules permit anything other than the traditional one-piece leotard with brief-style…

Timothee Chavalet

Even if she just eased up a bit. Some of the snark is so strident that I find myself feeling defensive of people I’ve never even heard of before. When it’s not funny it’s just kind of mean. 

I thinkNatalie Portman’s outfit, which includes a cape embroidered with the names of snubbed women directors, deserves more than an “it’s fine” brush off. 

A genuine plea: can we put Joan on the serious-topics beat (her piece on the California fires was moving and beautiful) and take her off the pop-culture-snark? Because it’s not where her talents lie. Half her snark is incomprehensible, and the other half is just wrong.
