Dogs immediately take to Tom Hardy and I think dogs have good instincts on who is boyfriend material, so I am firmly Team Boyfriend.

last year i was walking my dogs downtown and i was looking down and talking to the one for a second and i bumped into a dude and i looked up and said OMG you look just like riz ahmed! and he said ...cause i am? [both parties smile, end of interaction]

Would love to clarify here that Riz is def hot, def the star of this video, and is not up for debate!! Just Tom. 

I bet he doesn’t listen to music.

“I am so proud of Taylor”, says Kim, snidely, while her husband heads to the White House to fangirl over Trump and continue to make them both look preeeety bad. Also seemingly snide is the use of the word “maneuvering” and the implication it gives. Tending to be used in situations that are considered manipulative, and…

A giant meteor.

The Beastie Boys.

He’s more discount Linkin Park?

Cis hetero Christian white men who are also pretty old...

But stripping birthright citizenship IS on their agenda, as is going after naturalized citizens. She still has plenty to lose by speaking out and I cannot commend her enough for it.

A casual acquaintance stated that he didn’t like that NYRB had forced the esteemed editor Ian Buruma of his lofty pedestal, because he doesn’t like censorship. I pointed out that isn’t censorship, that is a private business holding an employee accountable for shoddy work, (and likely also for his subsequent appalling…

Guys seriously, can we just for ONCE, give props to Taylor when she does something right? You don’t have to crown her Queen of Jezebel, but legit, this was a good thing she did. Today I’m thinking of all her LBGT fans who must be feeling real fucking awesome about their fave sticking up for them politically in this…

One (and I know it’s hard to pick just one) of this most infuriating aspects of the hearing was the way he was so fucking self assured that this was his right to be on SCOTUS.  Nobody has a right to be a Supreme Court judge! 

The positive that comes out of publishing an essay by Ghomeshi is that it reminds the reader that men like this still don’t really believe that they didn’t do anything wrong - it was just a ‘misinterpretation’ of sorts. To publish the push back letters was the correct response.  It also reminds all women that they do…

Exactly. It was Kavanaugh’s job to make the case for why he deserved to be confirmed, not the other way around (not to mention that most states specify that credible victim testimony can be enough for a jury to convict someone of sexual assault). Ford’s testimony was part of a totality of factors that should have been…

I’m glad there are no whispers about a Hirono presidential run, because it seems to allow her freer rein to say what we are all thinking without giving a shit about the consequences. She’s beloved in Hawaii and can remain their senator as long as she wants and she knows it. I love that she isn’t afraid to pull any…

I really admire Senator Hirono. Keep up the good work!

It seems unlikely that the act was anything other than intentional - she clearly didn’t think that the chunks were going to distribute through the dough the same as having melted chocolate and then mixed it in. However, she probably didn’t know exactly how much they would incorporate with the surrounding dough and…

I highly recommend Connie Willis’s fabulous novel, Bellwether! You will love it; it’s about exactly this kind of thing.
