See, I read Stan’s dinner table speech as less “rah rah America” and more a comment on current events. I would love it if they can weave that into this final season in a way that is context-appropriate and doesn’t overwhelm the telling of a good story. Also, it looks like Aderholt might be getting more screentime.…

I read this book a while back and it is well worth the time. I grew up in the midwest with a family history that mirrored a lot of what was in the books. They, and the TV show, were a constant presence in my childhood and doing a deep dive into the story behind the mythology felt like exorcising some personal demons…

*raises hand weakly* Not done over here! Got the flu a week ago then just diagnosed with pneumonia yesterday. Had to cancel a ski trip with my family and world’s cutest nephew. There better be a really jucier-than-normal political scandal this weekend to distract me from my self-pity.

But he probably will once he finds out that Obama did it and it’s popular.

Sure, why not add a misplaced modifier or two to the bubbling pot of insanity the world has become.

100% guaranteed she made a staffer give her their sneakers after the backlash.

How about this - any top you wear to go out is a going-out top. There. Sorted.

Not sure what else we have planned. The manicure is a good idea, though. I saw someone made “blackout” cupcakes and topped them with oreos in various stages of disassebly to look like the phases of the moon.

BTW, they had trouble finding Moon Pies in the store, even when they were in Georgia last week. Ended up ordering them on Amazon. Looks like a lot of them are nearly out of stock there too.

Ooh - what else are you going to eat? We’re going all-in on the theme.

My family’s farm is smack dab in the middle of the blackout zone, so it seemed like a good time to visit my parents - one of the only times Nebraska is the perfect place to be for something! Got my glasses a couple months ago and Dad is planning a party with Sun Chips and Moon Pies. Can’t wait - it’s supposed to be an…

I’ve seen this. Counterpoint: it’s terrible. And not fun.

How many women couldn’t get VC funding for things that are actually useful and maybe help people while this dude-bro was raking in the sweet startup cash?

Can we get that asteroid to turn around and give it another go?

I love learning languages, and I’ve made a point of picking languages in different families - German, French, Russian, and Arabic. There end up being a lot of similarities with neighboring languages - with my German I can understand some Dutch, with French I’m already close to understanding Spanish, and with Russian I…

Ladies of SNL, you know what you have to do.

Except it’s not being complied with, according to reports.

My boyfriend, a Syrian Muslim, was in the US legally awaiting a decision on his immigration case which was delayed and delayed and delayed with no info. Meanwhile for years he couldn’t see his young children living in Jordan. Finally when it became clear they never intended to process his case, he left and was able to…

Even if this is overturned by the courts on Monday, the damage is done. America is going to spend decades paying the consequences for this.
