This brought tears to my eyes as well. Whatever your opinion on Obama and politics, I just can’t imagine being able to look at this man and not admire and just LIKE him. He wasn’t a perfect president, he is probably far from a perfect person, but damn it- he’s cool and sweet.

Stop calling her a Jackie Kennedy wanna- be. She’s clearly a Carla Bruni knock-off.

We might all love her, but Michelle’s dress is a miss.

I think it’s more likely Louis fathered the girl on some poor woman, not the other way around, honestly.

I’m black and I have no clue who she is or why she expected anyone to read that cyan on white note of hers.

But they didn’t make it up? Look up the black nun of moret. RNot to say that it was true (I sincerely doubt it, if anything I would assume her being the daughter of the king would be more likely and also explain why she called the dauphin her brother or why she received a very generous from Louis XIV etc.) but it has…

You have a far more complete and nuanced knowledge of history that you have, and I thank you for putting such detail into your response. Unfortunately I’m only basing my comment on other works of literature that have included black servants, like Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell, which is why it didn’t strike me as…

So... um... I sorta fell into a Wikipedia rabbit hole while watching the show and the Queen’s baby is based in some kernel of truth:

Yes. Mortdecai made me very sad because I love Ewan McGregor. At least my Ewan did a good job in an otherwise horrible movie.

It’s like a CW show that takes itself too seriously (I’d love to see Megan Follows just dropped in there for no reason). I think it took me maybe 3 episodes to not find it boring - I kept watching bc I didn’t know what else to pick since a lot of the things on my list are “watch with husband” shows. 

AND still torturing Hillary as a feminazi bitch who deserved to be cheated on! Because what was she supposed to do? Leaving him makes her an unforgiving lesbian who doesn’t understand that men have ‘needs’, staying made her a weak woman who couldn’t make it on her own. It was beyond horrible.

And being impeached isn’t even a crime. It’s the Congressional equivalent of an indictment.

Basing a series around perjury and obstruction of justice seems to be a bit of a stretch. At least the OJ pre-trial and trial had some element of action. The Lewinsky scandal was a series of grand jury testimonies, and having…

I know he is a block of wood, but god damn, Henry Cavill...

An acquittal is a formal certification that the accused is free of the charge. Any more pedantry?

I always assumed a lot of celebs had twins because a lot of them did IVF back when they’d throw like 23 embryos at you in one month and see what stuck.

What’s the crime in the Lewinsky story? It’s not a crime to fuck a married man. Isn’t the lack of serious criminality in the situation basically why Bill wasn’t successfully impeached? Can anyone make a miniseries that’s essentially about allegations of perjury interesting?

Oh fuck everything. THIS IS FUCKING STUPID AND NOT A CRIME!!!!

There we go again.

I got on Twitter solely to follow him. I don’t know how many evenings I spent following whatever links he posted — and it was time very well spent. I’m kind of glad he’s gone so he isn’t here to see what that platform has become.

Hidden Figures was beyond fabulous, it was easily one of the best movies I’ve seen in a couple years. My entire theater burst into applause at the end. Please do yourselves a favor and go see it, and try to bring your little girls with you. It was so uplifting and empowering to see a movie about WOC’s important…
