... a righteous Wikipedia entry as “that little cover band who first agreed to play for a state party in honor of a dictator, and then after being publicly mocked for it and probably threatened with loss of revenue for insulting the person by whom they make their living, stood up & refused to play because of…

A poster above in this same thread posted the link you’re looking for.

And now she’s not. This is the link to her letter about backing out:

I couldn’t agree more. Speculating on her circumstances, of course, but knowing what any major, chronic illness can do to a person who’s essentially a freelancer, it’s certainly possible.

And thanks for the ungrey. So happy this sub exists.

Wow, to go from performing a story like The Color Purple to the inauguration of That Man? The disconnect is strong there. I understand she’s had MS for years, and no money and no health insurance for most of that, so I guess I can understand the allure in the face of what must be a mountain of medical debt? They have g…

It works! My Indiana in-laws are all working class auto workers, and they all lock-step vote Republican, over and over again, and then wonder why their lives aren’t getting any better, why their unions can’t get them anything against the corporations, and why their insurance and retirement stinks. But you can’t make…

I have a small key ring with a safety pin so I can pin it inside the waistband, or I use a RooSport magnetic pocket so I have a place to tuck my phone, as well. The shoelace pockets in other comments are a neat idea, too, if you need more than a key.

So...why can’t we have Nolan North as Nathan Drake? He IS the voice and attitude (and the moves, come to think of it), he can act, he’s funny as hell, he’s fit and good-looking in a perfectly conventional way, and he doesn’t look particularly old or young. Why would we need to cast another interchangeable anonydude…

Or a cash register, not that any of these TV women would be caught dead doing that.

Yeah, my husband and I do the hands-fanning-eyes thing when we’re faking being upset. Because that’s not how real people cry, everyone on TV!

I know it’s wrong, but watching women with tons of eye makeup and long claw nails try to wipe away tears without going full raccoon or putting an eye out always makes me snicker.

Wouldn’t just about any lettuce qualify? An entire bag of salad mix is maybe 40-50 calories, and that is a lot of lettuce to eat at one time, let alone as a snack.

Thank you for this! Be advised that the House.gov site that tells you your representative hasn’t been updated for the new Congress. Still, the office number for our old rep went to the office for the new one, so it’s worth trying the number anyway.

Why not? Look at our never-ending habit of voting for incumbents, no matter what they do (or don’t do). Marco Rubio is back in the Senate for my state, for Pete’s sake. Rubio! That loser didn’t even attend Congress last year and couldn’t win his own state as a presidential candidate, but when it comes to voting the…

Totally agree, but I wish she wouldn’t let her boyfriend off as a great guy for just driving away and saying nothing. Good men remain complicit in the acts of bad ones when they refuse to speak up to their fellow craptastic men. He doesn’t have to yell or get in a fight, but he does need to speak out. We can’t do this…

Oh my, yes. If my mother had died at 60, I would have been...27ish? I can’t  imagine losing my mom now, let alone at that age. At least she has Gary.

I’m using that. It’s so perfect.

If you haven’t the Great British Bake Off masterclass episodes currently streaming on PBS (but not for much longer), Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry baking together is a delight to behold.

Based on things she’s said since the election, I think she just wanted a winner. She does not care in the least about....well, anything, I think. She seems utterly without conscience. But she is over the moon that “her guy won.” She can’t stop saying it. And her winner was a guy everyone was saying couldn’t win. She’s…
