Honestly, I enjoy the Real more than any of the other shitshows like the Talk or the View. So for the 2 times a year, I watch daytime TV, I just wanted to make my preferences known.

It’s a political necessity and the barest nod to equity. 30% of Maryland is black, and 65% of Maryland’s largest city, Baltimore, is black. Frankly, there should be more POC on the board.

She sang at the 2012 Olympics (sort of inexplicably) because she had the #1 song that summer and she’s British? The “It’s not about the money, money money, we don’t want your money, money, money, we just want to make the world dance, forget about the price tag.” I believe it’s called “Price Tag.” Yes, I am too lazy to…

Based on the fact alone that Steve Kazee “looks nothing like Channing Tatum” and he’s a Tony-award winning actor (for a musical, no less!) the only appropriate response is “praise be!”

I haven’t! Thank you for the recommendation. I’m naturally a “Debbie Downer” so I’m sure it won’t be too dark for me (and Olivia Coleman is Amaze-balls). Are they making a third season?

I have seen all of these and loved all of them SO much.

Yes, yes yes!!! Wanted to say that!

At least Land O’Lakes is doing something. Intel also pulled its support, but other companies that have and CONTINUE to give money or stand behind their donations to King include AT&T, Berkshire Hathaway, the American Bankers Association, Koch Industries (surprise, surprise), and Valero.

Obv Krackle, Mr. Goodbar, Hershey’s, Special Dark.

Lol. I was in Independence Hall the other week and I was singing “foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia!” and everyone was staring at me weirdly and IDGAF. 

Yeah, it really seems like the Kardashians don’t donate to charity, or at least not notably. Please correct me if I’m wrong. Even the Koch brothers support the arts and music.

Yeah. It seems like he’s counting people he dated, and I buy that he’s formally “dated” 6 women. Slept with way more.

Exactly. You put it extremely well. The music and book are what makes a musical. That’s why Elton John’s Aida isn’t confused with Verdi’s Aida. It’s why Amelie the movie was so popular, but Amelie the musical was a huge flop (and don’t get me started on Spongebob) or why Les Mis and Phantom were huge hits on Broadway…

Larson took some of the plot from Schulman, and spoiler alert, also “plagiarized” Puccini, I guess, because some of the show is based on La Boheme. Schulman didn’t (and couldn’t) take legal action because Larson didn’t use any of her material word-for-word. He incorporated some general plot points, and general plot…

I adore the bromance between Tan and Hasan.

Congrats on passing the bar! I know the time and effort that entails. The photo of your baby with your dogs is adorable.

Uh, no. Just throw them in the trash.

I haven’t had a child, but I was raped and in general skeptical of all men. What helped me some was remembering how wonderful my father and brother and partner are. You say your baby’s father is a wonderful person. Does that help you remember/confirm that not all men are horrible?

Why do so many people rip Kate Middle for her “old-looking” style? I dress the same and it’s classic and classy. Especially in her position, is she supposed to be trendy and risque?

I seriously think the rumor about Lindsey Graham becoming AG when Trump fires/Sessions “chooses” to leave is true, and then Haley will scoop up that SC Senate seat. Ugh.....
