Gotcha. I’m not American so I don’t know all the ins and outs of the system. But even watching from the other side of the world this has been a fucking chilling day. 

For a second when I read that it was Pence who gave the order for the National Guard I wondered whether they’d done it but kept it tightly under wraps given the situation. It was nice to think about, for that second. 

Or they try to spin it as “Precious White Woman Murdered In Cold Blood By Left Wing Thugs”. :/

It never left in Australia. :3

BAN HIS ACCOUNT, TWITTER. FOR FUCK’S SAKE. 

The woman who was shot didn’t look in good shape. :/

A big factor in this kind of performative parenting is the degree of exposure the kid gets nowadays thanks to internet and social media, even if the parent doesn’t name them or blurs their face etc. The exposure, embarrassment and shaming factor isn’t comparable to even just ten years ago, or what most parents would

Back in the mid 2000s a studio remade “I Spit On Your Grave” and it was actually good, and if I had to watch one of them again I’d watch it over the original. There was a gross pointless sequel starring different protagonist and then a third film going back to Jennifer. It had been a while at this point since there

The youth of today will never know the auditory horror of getting a digit wrong when dialling a business number and calling the fax machine line by mistake and getting that PHWWWEEEBBBRRRAAAJJJJRRRRTTTT in your ear. 

That gift is just *chefs kiss*

Narrator: He did not.

But here’s a thought - try and make it music the person is remotely interested in. Argh this was such a cringe day. XD

Haha very kind of you. But my social intelligence at this stage of my life was basically non existent so I did not recognise this was not a smart thing to do, and when even my friends were like “don’t do it” I did not heed their warnings and wore the subsequent mortification.

(Last time this was done heaps of people posted about shitty gifts they’d received, not that they’d given, which is interesting too but not the same thing. Read the header, this is about personal embarrassment today, people!)

I haven’t seen it yet obviously so I’m giving Teague as a performer and the show runners the benefit of the doubt, for now. On the strength of his performance in “It” I think I can see him playing someone who projects such an impression of alienation, awkwardness and hostility that his peers respond by shunning him.

Lamb is pretty ubiquitous here in Australia. I had no idea it’s not so much of a thing in the US until I started reading American food websites. 

I have a massive soft spot for this too. The terrible CGI. The performances. The final shot being that freeze frame of the survivor dumping joyfully in the air.

An Under the Dome adaptation could have been so good. I loved the book, it was the first of his in a run of a few that I really liked. The end game sequence with the firestorm wiping out nearly everyone haunted me for ages, especially the description of all the animals in town trying to flee, smashing into the dome

Well we do know that Chell is fat and adopted. /s

As far as Harold not being fat goes, in a practical sense I guess it means Owen Teague didn’t have to quickly gain weight then quickly lose it and I’m always happy when actors don’t have to do stuff to their bodies like that.
