The cynic in me says they are having as many babies as possible to make fer-damn-sure Harry and his future possibly mixed race children never get on the throne. Or they could just want a shit-ton of bebes. We’ll probably never know. Until 20 years down the line the BBC makes an understated, high-budget, beautifully…

It’s the noise that’s the problem. You don’t want to put things on silent in case there’s a real emergency, but waking up every five minutes to see someone texted you some inconsequential bullshit is infuriating.

Very much this. There is only one other person still in my life who knew her and that person lives in another country. We got together this year for the first time in a long time and it was such a relief be able to physically reassure myself that that part of my life wasn’t some really strange fever dream.

It’s a nice thought. Unfortunately, we didn’t go to high school together, and lived on different sides of the country growing up.

My best friend was murdered 10 years ago this year. I decided to look up her family, maybe get back in touch with them, or at least send a card. They are all dead. Her grandma and her mom had cancer, her brother killed himself and I think her dad just got old. It is the weirdest, most surreal feeling. It feels like…

For a hot second I thought this was going to be a movie about Bass Reeves and was super excited. I mean, this looks good too, but I’m putting in my vote for Chadwick Boseman’s next icon to be Bass Reeves. I’d watch the shit out of that movie.

Do people without some level of anxiety wake up from a dead sleep, in a panic, obsessing about all the interactions they had the previous day? I’m not being snarky, I’m honestly curious. The first couple paragraphs did not sound like what I have been led to believe are normal patterns of behavior.

Ah, yes. What great advice. Just stop thinking about it. I did have anxiety, but I guess that’ll be better now. /s/

I’m trying to figure out whether it is a blessing or a curse to have so much footage, both cinematic and candid home videos, of a loved one. My initial reaction is to be very jealous of his family for having so much access to him still, but then I’m sort of grateful that I don’t have to deal with that all that time.…

I think the hardest part about this is when they don’t play ball. I’ve tried negotiating a few things that have just fallen flat. No rejection, no counter-offers, just blank confused stares. And this was for stuff like cars and fees. Things that, to my knowledge, are expected to be negotiated. Any tips for next steps…

Oh my god, yes. Paris is the best.

Is she an endearing character? I’ve always thought she was written as one of those people that you don’t hate, but you’re never really sure why. She’s always compared to her mother who, while still insufferable at times, worked so hard at everything. Lorelei put her money where her mouth is in terms of independence…

Yeah, I figured that one out pretty quick.

So nomads aren’t Middle Eastern? I’ve got some bad news about the majority of Arabs for ya buddy...

Yeah, I mostly just redbox or Netflix the low-key dramas. They’re great but the big screen is only really necessary when there are big fun special effects and/or I’m really bored and not low on cash.

Damn. Just checked my copy. You’re right. Megan Follows has just screwed up everything in my head. Excuse me while I go have a mild existential crisis.

Is anyone else a little weirded out that they aged down Anne and Gilbert? Like, dude’s supposed to be sixteen at the beginning of the book. She’s fourteen. It’s just very the opposite of what is normally done and its really messing with my head. I guess they’re going to try and milk the childhood aspect of the story…

It’s coauthored by both parents. That apostrophe is correct. Plural possessive brah.

Lauren Willig’s Pink Carnation book are pretty rad, though they are very tame. They are about contemporary spies to the Scarlet Pimpernel. Extremely well written, tight plotted, and then there’s sex, sort of novels. I had actually forgotten they were romance novels and recommended them to my mom. Which was awkward. As…

I think one of the more frustrating things about this is that Economists have pretty much determined that there is no point in finishing the pipeline because there are too many pipelines and not enough oil coming out of the Bakken fields. Literally these people are doing this out of fucking spite at this point. Well…
