That’s the one, thanks!

Awww that sounds terrible :( . You’re definitely not alone; my eldest sister throws a tantrum whenever something doesn’t go her way (she’s 36, I’m 28) and -what’s that wordwhere someone goes ‘I’m not being mean, you’re imagining it’? Lampshading? Well, that. Unfortunately I’m long term unemployed and live with my…

Funnily enough, I noticed the flowery prose, too - though my take away is quite different than Cillizza’s.

Slightly off topic but related to your ETA - Tamblyn has always had a remarkable way with words! I don’t know if she still does, but she used to write poetry, including one line that will probably be on my tombstone:

Absolutely we do! I dislike being overheard, so when I was in a public restroom once with three other guys, I couldn’t go. Then I realised that none of the other occupants were doing anything either. So I decided to break the tension by blowing a really loud (fake) raspberry. Let’s just say nothing cuts through…

Same! But with Irn Bru and strepsils/sudocrem.

Well, whenever I go to the movies I invariably experience a two hour long anxiety attack, two hours of nausea (if not outright vomiting), two hours of trying not to pass out as well as a side order of hours of guilt that I’m ruining a nice day out with my dad.

Max is short for Maxima, though, so they both have odd names.

More like Sandor Megan, amirite.

Being in a wheelchair absolutely shouldn’t have any bearing, because it’s not like she had heel spurs - and that’s the real disability.

I thought it was great, though no one told me Queen Elsa would be in it.

Back in high school I did a course on oration, where I was taught to use specific hand gestures to emphasise points or guide the audience. What Mr Trump does is very reminiscent in what I learned, but, as in everything, he lacks skill and artistry and, importantly, restraint. If he had taken such a course, I doubt he…

Michelle Dockery, of Downton Abbey fame.

I thought that was a Trump quote until I got to the end. Read it again in trump’s voice, see how similar they are. What is it about creepy old men and their speech patterns?

Unrelated to your point but I misread your first sentence as ‘senator Hachi’ and suddenly felt unworthy of this comment section.

I was just thinking, I don’t think that font counts as copyright infringement, but Disney should sue anyway because it’s tacky.

God damn you, that was brilliant.

If I may make an addendum? There’s a rumour going round that Tory MPs are urging Andrea Leadsom to run for Conservative leader. This is the woman who said that she was ‘chosen by God’ to be PM. Sweet Jesus.

Ansel Elgort will play yung JFK in the forthcoming drama Mayday 109.

Which is weird because I live in a very posh area of the UK and know a lot of members of the local aristocracy*. Every single one of them call their parents ‘mummy’ and ‘daddy’, even well into old age, even around strangers. It’s never ‘mother’ and ‘father’. That’s for us uppity poor people.
