I mean, I live all the way in California (as far from New York as you can get in and still be in America) and even in the 80's and 90's he was generally seen as a bad guy. Even Sesame Street read him for filth. Let’s face it, even the baseline description of ‘Rich Real Estate Tycoon’ has an air of villainy about it.

Honestly, the wording IS a little confusing. He refers to it as a ‘slightly inappropriate transgression’, which SOUNDS like cheating, but he doesn’t actually say that it is, just that they were talking. So it’s unclear whether the talking was ‘inappropriate’ just because he was airing out the dirty laundry of his

“but when you’re making a dance movie her choices were to have Ziegler play both the character and the character when she dances, have Ziegler play only the character when she dances, or to have somebody who doesn’t dance like Ziegler.”

Or not have the character be autistic. There are so many other backstories as to

The biggest con of all is convincing someone named SIA to date someone names SHIA...seriously, wtf?”

But if they’re really enforcing the mask policy, shouldn’t they be kicking people tf out of the park when they remove their mask on a ride instead of just covering the picture or refusing to sell the picture? Somebody without a mask screaming on a ride is an incredible contagion risk.

“My sister and her family went to Disney World the week before Thanksgiving (with about 10-15 other people in my BIL’s family)“

My sister and brother-in-law went literally the same time. Was there some kind of crazy discount going on or something that so many people went RIGHT BEFORE Thanksgiving?

I don’t know about television commercials, but the billboard ads were all over downtown San Francisco.

Oh, no, I 100% agree! That was my point, too - that she was likely even *more* out of touch than many Boomers.

At almost 90 years old, is she even technically a boomer? She was already 50 when most Boomers were starting families.

‘Folklore’ is, in my opinion at least, a really solid album. They can snark about Taylor ‘discovering’ a really obvious process, but I think that her doing so really did help her artistic output.

I’m in decent shape and have a reasonably good diet. My undoing in the bathroom department is pretty definitely because of coffee.

I’m kind of impressed that he even has the ability to plan when to use the bathroom. I’m a good twenty years younger than him and friends - I know this is TMI but I gotta go when I gotta go, schedule be damned. And I definitely need more than ten minutes throughout the day.

I had been thinking that even after all his screw-ups, if he had just let a second round of stimulus checks go through in October, the bastard would probably have won easily. It would have been the easiest, most half-ass measure ever, and he still didn't do it.

As much as I’m happy to see her get so prolific, my first introduction to Anna Akana will forever be my favorite:

Wino Forever!

But they could never remake Teen Witch because it’s impossible to TOP THAT!

“evangelical leaders and parents also worried about covert indoctrination into the occult from children’s entertainment, such as the popular cartoon He-Man.”

As a small child in a conservative Central Valley town, I remember this specifically, and it was the reason my mom got rid of all my Masters of the Universe

In an effort to clear my good name; this terrible costume was one of my early efforts in what turned into a life-long side career of creature and puppet-making. I made THIS creature costume last year for a Halloween variety show here in San Francisco. I’ve made progress!

Uuummm- ‘Alien’ came out in 1976. ‘Aliens’ (the sequel) came out in 1986. ‘Alien’ didn’t even HAVE an Alien Queen in it. By 1986, seeing it on video fairly soon after it left the theatre was definitely a probability. 

When I was 9 years old, I decided that I wanted to be the alien queen from ‘Aliens’ (Don’t ask me how a nine-year-old managed to see aliens when it came out, I literally don’t remember the circumstances. Although I do remember that I distinctly had the goal of watching it out of spite, because I was so angry that it
