Would that make her Princess Anne-akin?

This is how I interpreted it. I don’t know what the writers’ intention of that scene was but I took her monologue to be about the entirety of her life.  Implied in her speech was the notion of being robbed. She worshipped her father and believed being thrust into a role he never thought he had to play shortened his…

i believe wilbur ordered the coffee but there isn’t enough room on the label for “some pig” so the computer shortened it.  calm down, everyone.

Mari Kondo has built an empire convincing people that they could be happier if they just get rid of nearly everything in their homes by emotionally recognizing the value of the item, thanking it, and letting it go on to some other life.

Under the guidance of the KonMari method, I and thousands of others submitted to the belief that happiness and a sense of mental clarity can be attained by having less and keeping only the items that “spark joy.”

Exactly. Your true friends are always going to be willing to support you, but true friendship means that support goes both ways. By asking first if your friend has the emotional bandwidth to listen to you at that moment, you’re showing that you understand it takes time and focus and energy to engage and you don’t want…

Triggered was surprisingly a well-written book. It was nuanced, and highly erudite, with some poignant, thought-provoking points— I’ve been informed that I’m actually reading the nutrition facts on the back of a salt shaker, my mistake.

*raises hand*  I do.  Usually with Oreos.  Hell, sometimes I drink straight from the jug because I get a craving.

Sexiest Man Alive isn’t about finding the actual most fuckable dude on the planet (if it were, Oscar Isaac would have it handily every year). It’s about who’s good looking, unthreatening, who’s been in the public spotlight, who PEOPLE’s readership likes, and who needs the career visibility from being designated as…

I would have more sympathy for the viewpoint that the “student” (she’s actually an alumna now) in question was looking for intellectually challenging books if the other Common Read books were actual Man Booker prize winners. But they’re not. We’re talking about stuff like Ready Player One here. The singling-out of…

This reminds me of when Nicholas Sparks said he doesn’t write romance novels and that he was actually the natural successor to Hemingway, Shakespeare, and Euripides. (I’m 100% serious about this.)

Look, this is why this shit is a big deal. YA novels aren’t some kind of frivolous bullshit that isn’t worth reading because they aren’t The Great American Novel. If you’re at a university to challenge yourself academically, the Common Read isn’t the only place you can do that, and telling everyone that you joined a…

Why are men so goddamn fragile all the damn time? Jesus, dudes, just order a drink if you enjoy it. It says nothing about how manly you are.

See HBO, you can end a story properly. :D

How awesome would it be for a game to have dice balanced differently depending on class or play-style?

“His grandfather wanted him to be named Beowulf. His parents instead chose Gardner Flint Minshew II, even though there is no Gardner Flint Minshew I.” Talk about burying the lede. I want more on this topic.

Depending on the number of guests I always try to add at least a dozen live frilled lizards who always crawl to the surface and try to escape while Grandpa is carving the bird.

*takes drag from clove cigarette” Oreo journalism...I haven’t heard that name in years. I have to say I agree with the take here--Oreo and KitKat are the best in the flavor game. Their scientists really know what they’re doing. (Though Oreo DID make a grave error with the Swedish Fish Oreos. Honestly what the fuck…

Doolittle isn’t just the very best of the Nationals. He’s the best of baseball. We need a thousand more players like him.

You forgot Sean Doolittle, who is the very best of the Nationals. Doo is the best. He had the guts to state publicly why he wasn’t going. And he and his wife walk the walk and talk the talk in community activism. They hosted Thanksgiving dinner for Syrian refugees and got the community involved, when he was with…
