There’s been an awesome Survivor Type one, it was done as a found footage thing.

The caviar sundae was an obvious troll but if The Takeout ever send you a black truffle make sure you do this with some of it.

The Onion covered this nearly 20 years ago: “Local community unmoved by murder of homely girl” or something very close to that.

Family got me tickets for my birthday, booked well in advance of it coming to town. On the night I was very, very sick but felt obliged to go as so much money had been spent. Pretty much all I knew about the show was that it was about cats and the song “Memory”. I was delirious and feverish and also, in retrospect,…

I think about this a lot, and also about the women whose art we’ll never see because a powerful man considered “do I want to fuck her” a necessary criteria for judging whether a woman deserved opportunity. 

Also weird in that in the book both Louis and Rachel are in their 30s. They’ve cast Rachel age appropriately with Amy Seimetz who’s in her mid 30s, but Clarke is 49 and looks it. Hollywood ageism striking again I guess, but at least Rachel isn’t being played by a 25 year old.

Definitely think there should be a word limit. 

Yes, people are telling me about Cookie Crisp now. I still don’t think it’s TOO weird that I didn’t automatically know that it existed.

People are! You learn something new every day! 

HAHAHAHAHA I would have totally eaten this as a child, and would still try it now. 

“these resemble breakfast cereal cookies” this confused me for a moment, I thought maybe it was some weirdo American thing where there’s a breakfast cereal that’s somehow made of little cookies or whatever. But then I googled and it’s cookies made out of breakfast cereal flakes. That’s okay, that’s normal, we have…

The single upside of the Kavanagh horror show* has been that in Dr Ford the Nice White Liberal Ladies now have a genuine avatar for their own feelings of distress and oppression under Trump and can stop projecting onto Melania.

With gamers used to the concept of factions and all the “Choose Your Side” advertising, I feel the game could have done a better job of telegraphing it truly does not matter for gameplay purposes whether the forts and houses and army camps you kill and loot your way through are Athenian or Spartan. You can kill every…

I only discovered it a few months ago and have already caught up.

I’m here for this.

I’d like to know who the first person to eat an artichoke was, and what their thought process was. 

OR imagine being a talented Yale law grad who knows you’ll never get a prestigious clerkship at all because you don’t meet the powerful men’s boner criteria in the first place. Can’t win. :/

I’ve made this comment on a previous Ask the Salty Waitress column, but this one felt less like asking a question and more like wanting to air a grievance.

For anyone who doesn’t know about it yet, the 70s Dinner Party (@70s_party) Twitter account is a very adequate spiritual successor to the Gallery of Regrettable Food.

And don’t forget earlier this year, when FOSTA-SESTA was passed under the veneer of rescuing sex trafficking victims (spoiler alert: it won’t and doesn’t), how sex workers warned that they were the canaries in the coalmine of free speech on the internet.
