I love fruitcake. It takes great both plain, with icing and with ice-cream. If it comes out too dry, you just soak in more booze. You can’t do that to edible flowers. That’s all I can contribute to this discussion.

Have you seen any gathering of two or more people in the UK?

perhaps if he had rapped his message?

I mean, it makes sense because everybody stopped doing drugs after the whole “Just Say No” thing in the Eighties so why wouldn’t it work again?

Can’t spell AMERICAN without N-R-A.

Roy Moore looks like the most disappointing cowboy-themed male stripper possible.

Is that woman ever gonna tell us what she was thinking?!

Jezebel got a shout out on Will and Grace tonight! About 9 minutes in, Tony (Anthony Ramos) asks Grace “It’s cool for a bakery to refuse to make a MAGA cake but not a gay cake?” and Grace replies “It’s a totally different situation. People on Jezebel have explained why. At length. Which is why I didn’t read it. It was…

That is coming very close to American levels of conspiracy crazy.

Ah but you see that’s why these utter fuckwits smart top blokes are better than us. Only a fool would look at the use of a Russian nerve agent against a Russian traitor to which Russia simply responded to by warning traitors in the UK where Russia has track record of murdering its foes without admitting to it and go…

Hey, at least he’s not getting everyone from Fox, Larry Kudlow’s from CNBC.

I’ve never seen the movie, but I read the books to my kid, and when he was just almost 3 he told me, “We should kill the Cat in the Hat.”

The Fish in The Cat in the Hat should be at the top of this list. I know, in the cartoon it is voiced by a guy but the book does not assign that fish a gender and I would argue it is the ultimate Lame Bitch.

We are set up to hate the fish, when all it does is point out that we don’t know that cat and he should not be…

“Visits from the black dog” are they pleasant, at least?

Russia’s is every other country’s Bad Idea Boyfriend. They’re sexy and boss and ride a big motorcycle and seem so much more wild and free than the squares and drips at NATO. It’s only when you’ve been left, tearstained and pregnant, at the outskirts of town while it roars off and shifty looking men in glowing trench…

Then she’s probably sageuk-oriented. LOTS to mine in that category, though not a ton of them that are mythological. Try “Tree With Deep Roots” for history, “Empress K” is enormously long but interesting... “Sungkyunkwan Scandal” is more k-drama-y in that it’s pure fiction.

So my girlfriend and I recently tried to watch Goblin. We’ve never attempted a Korean drama before, but we’ve been watching a couple of Korean cooking shows on youtube and decided to give it a try.

It was both so much better and so much worse than we could’ve imagined. Right off the bat, its a love story between a girl…

I can only speak to my experience working almost exclusively in Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) departments. The BIE is under the BIA, of course. One dynamic that the report from High Country News does not explicitly state is that in many cases, the administrators are non-Indigenous, with the rank and file being…

Hi Xiade! You’re correct, a discussion of privilege and oppression that solely focuses on race does miss out on other axes of privilege, like class, gender identity, accessibility needs, and sexual orientation. This is why it’s important to introduce the concept of intersectionality to these discussions. Basically,…

That would make a fascinating short story—famous person meeting fans in the afterlife. For the fans, this is heaven! For the person, it is hell.
