1: Press on nails exist. In fact, they’re extremely popular now, as the technology behind them has improved so much that they are actually incredible. Pre-pandemic, I was someone who got long acrylics every 2 weeks like clock work, but I now just plop on some press ons when I want to look put together. I don’t think

Off the top of my head, in the Marvel cinematic universe, Angela Bassett plays Queen Ramonda, Michelle Pfeiffer plays Janet van Dyne, Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Rene Russo played Frigga... maybe Hayek meant being hired in a lead actor role as a 50-something lady?

The trend is actually shifting the other way. A lot of the bakeries and catering places around here won’t do it, and I haven’t really seen a wedding with a pretty cake that tasted like shit in years.

Which kinda doubles down on the “looks good on TV” thing. The whole shift in home baking towards the technical and

Sounds like you misplaced your glasses. Or you are being an ageist and sexist jerk. Hopefully it’s the former but safe money is on the latter. 

Food safety is one issue — I’ve seen enough episodes of shows where a judge has refused to eat something because it’s undercooked.

Although not as cringe inducing as Paul Hollywood’s handshake, or his general belief that he’s the main character, Prue’s catchphrase jars every time. Particularly as Channel 4 market themselves as progressive, inclusive and aimed at a younger audience. It seems strange that no one in production has had a word 

Anecdotal science is the very best science.

Oh yeah? Well, my neighbor’s brother-in-law’s friend in Mexico took the vaccine and now has the strength of ten men and a mane of luxurious blonde hair. Case closed!

The Mormon Belt is also home to all the supplement and oil companies.

The podcast The Dream gets into this a bit, and into the overlap between prosperity gospel and MLM schemes. It’s a great listen, at least the first season about MLMs. The second about the “wellness” industry didn’t grab me as much.

The reveal that the Rustralian cult leader is simply getting people to hallucinate to suggestions is pretty underwhelming. But that’s not as ridiculous as if she was actually conjuring up the dead themselves.

On a private note I have to give a lot of credit to this show regarding suicide and drug reaction. I had NO

You mean the men in power could have eliminated rape all this time and they're just now getting started on it?

And Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out and arresting them”

Aaaaaahhhhh...I can watch it forever. Like a drink of cool water on a hot and racist day.

Oh she’s a rightwinger 100% and none of this should be surprising. Poster girl for Jesus is Love and #boymom bossbabe. 

One of my neighbors has this stupid yard sign from this stupid org in their front yard and every time I walk by it I want to set fire to it

I’m personally not too terribly excited about the marriage drama (of...well, any of them), and much prefer when The Crown focuses on the Queen’s diplomatic roles, among other things.

I’m sadly sure that most people caring for a parent who is slipping into dementia can probably relate.  Which makes it all the sadder.  I’ve watched a couple of friends go through that, and I wouldn’t wish it in on anyone.
