Genius, as per usual, Claire!

Just take the win for the day, and keep the energy going. It is an ongoing battle to fend off the hordes of crazies. Long game, my friend, long game.

Speak for yourself. DaBaby’s entire brand is toxic masculinity wrapped up in a Napoleon complex, bedazzled with diamonds. He ain’t fool me. 

Wait, what!? I LOVE Alolan forms, ESPECIALLY Vulpix/Ninetails! And Litten as the best starter? Nope.

I hesitate to call Meg naive, but I really cannot think of any other word for it. You carefully laid out perfectly logical reasons why she might have thought the monarchy would modernize through her union with Harry, but when you think of the dark turn the world took in 2016, Meghan’s travails in the British tabloids…

I do miss the heady heyday of our beloved Gawker. Jez, Lifehacker, Giz, The Root, and Kotaku are some of my faves, but yes, sometimes there is shoot from the hip clickbait. And it works!

“Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the N-word a photo of my child before I can share it with the people that love my child?” Markle asked. “You tell me how that makes sense and then I’ll play that game.”

You’d DARE go against your focus, disrespect superior FF soundtracks, and turn into a Cie’th? Be my guest.

Don’t flatter Madam Goop and Miss Don’t You Know Who I Am with being mentioned in the same sentence as Queen Lively or even being associated with a shade above mayonnaise. 

If I could get over my distaste for online multiplayer, and play XIV in solo mode, perhaps I would know. Just no desire at this point. I can give the soundtrack a bop though, since you suggested it!

But WHICH Final Fantasy soundtracks!? Anything past X-2 just does nothing for me.

A few thoughts as an erstwhile New Yorker:

Agreed. The Warner Discovery megamerger is going to cut all content that does not specifically pander to middle America, and it is already a sh*tshow. If their new CEO gets his way, it will be nothing but cheaply filmed Chip and Joanna all day, every day, instead of diverse, unique content that takes actual dollars to…

Do I smile every time I see a clip of Brown doing anything? Yes.

Not gonna lie, Barrett is far creepier than Gorsuch and Kavanope. I often think of the Yeerks from Animorphs possibly inhabiting the likes of Barrett, McConnell, and their ilk.

Oh. He drank the Koolade and now wants to sell it with that Hustler’s University BS. Color me not surprised, but very worried at the same time.

I am glad your sister got out in front of Tate and his BS with her kids. That is HUGE. I know my mom will call my brother out on this nonsense, and that he will kick and scream about how he, a young, straight, white male is the *real victim* in this equation.

Our father knows better than to even suggest anything to my brother, because my brother’s inner contrarian will just move in a vastly different and probably not even opposite direction. He knows that if he would have called him out on this Tate guy, that he would have doubled down on it even harder. My father is a…

I think those types ingest all that filth and nonsense *just* to get reactions at events like Christmas dinner like you describe. A few years ago, an uncle of mine went on a rant and said, “We conquered the natives, why allow them to have reservations or any land?” Like.....dude, what inhuman asshat has a bone to pick…

Me too, bb. At a loss as to how I would even begin to help.
