Drink gin, like a proper alcoholic.

They also get police escorts to Pride events so they can safely yell slurs through their bullhorns. It’s fucked. 

That’s amazing. I love seeing shitheels like that embarrassed and defeated. 

I find that they all too often are itching to show their true colors . . . . at least to their white coworkers.

It’s definitely a “He doesn’t have anger issues yet but I’m going to make sure he does” kind of name.

I was very small, but I vaguely remember seeing a picture of Reagan during my early childhood, thinking his face looked like a flesh-colored version of the California Raisins and being disturbed by that revelation. Other than that, I remember very little.

Agree on all counts. There are very few in the community that I like these days. Plus since I’m not a fan of the super-airbrushed, full beat anymore (on my own face—I adore it on other people), there’s not much use I can get out of most of the tutorials they offer other than watching and being like “That’s really…

Awesome article! I’m definitely looking forward to this series.

He was BIG in Atlanta when I was a kid and even at age 7 I was smart enough to be disgusted by him...which isn’t saying much considering any sane, rational person would feel the same. 

they’re going to cajole someone into giving away the secret to Aunt Linda’s potato salad so they can steal it and claim it as their own.

I’m with you on preferences as far as adaptations. (If you’re wondering who I consider to be the definitive Marple, it’s Joan Hickson.) Either way, I’m definitely team Jeremy Brett because he did such a good job humanizing Sherlock in a way many adaptations don’t—though some of the later episodes where you can tell…

Whenever I have to use pictures of Stone Mountain for work (which is surprisingly often), I always find a shot that doesn’t include the relief. 

Snellville

Shit I might need one, myself. 

Right? I’m not especially surprised at this turn of events, but I still feel the need to make the following crystal clear:

Yeah, Captain Hastings has pretty heavy Bertie Wooster vibes in the Suchet adaptation. If memory serves, Hastings is also supposed to be considerably younger than Poirot (I think he’s around 30 when he makes his first appearance) and although I like the actor who plays him in the Suchet version, I think the fact that…

I think it’s because they see Hastings as a comical character and they want their adaptation to be super gritty and srs business. I’m bummed that they don’t use Miss Lemon or George, either. But yes, the Nero Wolfe mysteries is GREAT and remains pretty close to the source material in terms of characterization and even…

Poirot chasing a suspect and going up and down ladders after them just seemed wrong

Oh I adore the way that it looks on other people, but when I started emulating it on my own face, it really warped my perception of myself after doing it every day for a few years.

It’s good that you recognize that you have different goals/approaches when it comes to exercise. Good luck with your new running plan! :)
