Nice of him to try to set POC against each other, even though that was NOT YOUR POINT.

Every time I see his smug face I have to go find the clip of Jon Stewart schooling him on Crossfire, where Carlson dismisses Stewart’s legitimate arguments by laughing and saying, ‘You should teach at a journalism school,” and Stewart fires back, lightning-fast, “You should GO to one.” Watching the smile freeze and…

He’s also very skilled at the art of listening and engaging. I can’t imagine he cares about everything that comes out of his guests’ mouths but damn if he doesn’t convince you he does. He’s also great at drawing people out and getting them to sound interesting - the ideal host.

Craig Ferguson would be an ideal replacement. Or Graham Norton.

The Doctor Who panel has, in the past, been held in Hall H, the biggest venue. So yeah, a fair few fans.

Who needs to fear Sharia law? We have our own religiously intolerant mandates masquerading as law already. They’re just citing a different prophet to justify these.

I have not found the baking soda to make the eggs particularly easy to peel - maybe I’m just getting more lucky with my eggs. Nigella Lawson advocates a match thrown in the water because the sulphur keeps the white from leaking or something? I assume the baking soda works the same way.

I use the Martha Stewart method for boiling: eggs in cold water, then once the water comes to a boil, turn off the heat but leave the pot on, clap a lid on it and leave it to sit for 7 minutes. Then shock the eggs in ice water.

I started watching the Massachusetts episode on Netflix the day after he died, and was in tears by the end. The part where he spoke to the recovery group about his own addiction and what he would tell his then-nine-year-old daughter shattered me.

You mean Mark Brendana-quits?

Same! I actually did watch the first season and it was so bad I stopped. I, too, rediscovered the series on Netflix and now it’s my go-to if I’m having a terrible day. This show actually makes my day better. Also, I have had a stupid crush on Adam Scott since Party Down.

And him trying to drag the lectern up to the judge’s bench, because all the reporters’ microphones were attached to it?

True. But I’ve a feeling mom and dad had more than a passing hand in creating that entitlement.

Jaysus, pump the brakes. It’s a figure of speech. And the ‘monster’ I was referring to was the entire situation: messed-up son, eviction notices, legal battle, media frenzy, all-around embarrassment. But if outrage suits you better, go ahead. I’m sure people have called him worse.

NPR’s story yesterday noted that he also has a suit pending against Best Buy, where he used to work, because they fired him when he refused to work Saturdays. Also, he noted in court that he shouldn’t have been expected to know that he should have been paying rent, or doing dishes, or helping maintain the house just…

yeah, I didn’t want to think that, because I’ve had a bit of a crush on him for awhile, but the mansplaining was enraging. I’m really disappointed.

Thank you! That was my first thought upon reading his excuses. So, you ask her boyfriend whether you were racist toward her, and then you tell her it’s her fault because she didn’t speak up immediately, get in your face and confront you in the moment? Is it her responsibility to make you so uncomfortable you employ a…

...and those broken lightbulbs.

It seems people go crazier these days when they’re fueled by desperation and racism.

I do that when I shred important documents. Make it good and wet so no one will try to put 1-inch shreds of my bank statements together when they’re covered in raw chicken goo.
