I’m so looking forward to whatever deeply personal nightmare Ted Danson cooks up for him

I always scroll past the tweets. I always hated the sound of trumps voice, but now I can’t even read his repulsive words. The man is toxic.

I live in part of Canada that sees average January highs of -10°C (14°F) with average lows of -20°C (-4°F) before accounting for wind chill. We average 13 days per year with a windchill below -40°C/°F and 39 days per year with a windchill below -30°C (-22°F.) You would need to layer quite a bit with a $100 winter…

I think Bey is too invested in maintaining her image to let down her walls and really get into a roll like that.

I think you are right. It will kill us all. Though I like to think of it as “male fragility” rather than toxic masculinity.

Sweet lord in heaven. I teach in college and this isn’t even in the Top 20 of things I can be bothered to care about. Sit however you want in class. I’m happy you’re there (and I mean that in a non-sarcastic way). Do I get annoyed when students are clearly on their phone or surfing the internet? Maybe a little. But I r…

Oh, man, this hits me where I live. This was my coming-of-age, during the hey day of this kind of retailing (high school & college in the late 90s/early 00s), and there’s still a weird sort of internal pull toward Vicki’s (gawd) and Abercrombie when I’m at the mall, despite the fact that I never felt comfortable in…

But what use or artfulness is offered by criticism that demands a movie or book or television show be another movie or book or television show entirely?

Yet another Old here too. I am in the widowhood phase that you describe. Single personhood can be pretty lonely, but after a while you get used to it and when your married friends are fighting, you are thankful that at least you don’t have to deal with that anymore. I recently tried a dating site and then abandoned it…

This isn’t about them having sex or not having sex. It’s about them getting to talk about not having sex.

So they hired and paid Benedict Cumberbatch money, only to saddle him with an unrecognizable American accent, thus rubbing him of his defining, Cumberbatch-iest quality: his low rumbling voice. It’s like when Robots hired Ewan Macgregor as the lead, then made him have an American accent. I’ll never understand doing…

Michigan made me proud and I’m happy to know that I don’t have to hate my neighbors and coworkers as much anymore. For the most part we elected a lot of great women yesterday and also passed several great proposals! Yeah for a blue mitten!

I always saw Ursula as a BBW. However it is a fact that Ursula’s appearance was inspired by American actor and drag queen, Glenn “Divine” Milstead. Had to google the person, but he’s actually white.

Like a Sabbath Goy?

I would add that for women especially, this insecure overachieving extends far beyond work. We do the same thing with relationships and with raising children. A lot of women do way too much emotional labor (and actual labor) for their significant others, out of fear of losing them. And when we have kids, we overwork…

“But the kind of insecurity that drives you to overachieve is like constant self-punishment, and if you keep moving your own goalposts, you’ll drive yourself insane.”

[Stefon voice] This Trump tweet has everything: unsubstantiated praise, alternative facts, hyperbole, racism, insulting a huge swathe of the population when they’re down, human marriage counseling (it’s like that thing of when you take a person with tiny hands and tell him not to admit when he’s wrong even when he…

I don’t think he likes Irina that way either.

The problem with being with addicts is that frequently situations are cast in a “save me from drowning” kind if way. You won’t save an addict. You might get pulled into the water with them. But you’re never going to pull them out - and that’s not on you. For your own self-preservation, you need to love them from afar,…
