I came down to the comments as soon as I read that part to also say thanks. I haven’t even read this Shade Court — one of the biggest highlights of my week — yet because I was so happy about this exclusion that I couldn’t wait to make this comment. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one relieved by this. And now I can…

It’s not really strategic in my mind. It’s more like when your cats nudge something fragile to the edge of the shelf, and then you don’t notice, so they wait until you’re in the shower to knock it down so you don’t have a chance to save it.

I dunno. Sometimes I think he does in fact have a queue of this shit ready to go. Like he composes them in Notes or something, and then he just sits back and waits for it to be time to post them. Or for his minders to look away from him just long enough for him to send them.

Chaffetz recently put forward a proposal (bill? Resolution?) to sell off a shit ton of public land (state and federal, if I recall correctly) to private parties. Even if your state didn’t want to sell, it would have been forced to do so. Conservationists flipped out, but he didn’t care. People who didn’t want their…

As far as the owner refusing to sell the sixth property goes, I like to think that they are not selling solely and specifically to piss him off.

Definitely not the only one. And I know why I get sad: Decades of hearing that I will some day want kids. Nope. This has been my position since I was, like, four years old. I’m even hitting perimenopause, and that’s when I’ve been told I will most regret not having kids when I was younger because my biological clock…

There was some class I took in college (can’t remember which one) that taught us that progress is a pendulum. Every time you make steps forward, it will swing back even harder and set you back even further. We’re in that process right now. But the important thing is that after the backswing, once we recover and…

She reminds me of everyone I have ever known with an eating disorder. The hair, the skin, the posture, the batshit she spews like a machine gun — it all points to an undernourished body and brain to me.

And it’s all directed by Tarsem, which is a sentence that should be interpreted as “OH MY GOD IT IS FUCKING GORGEOUS. I have no idea what’s going on, but it is absolutely stunning to look at.” His involvement is the sole reason I’m watching it, although I’m a few episodes behind because of other things in my queue…

I’m planning on getting it on Presidents’ Day. It’s either that or Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.

“Worth” and “makes” are not the same thing. Sony can claim she’s worth forty million or even five billion dollars, but as long as she’s stuck in this bullshit contract, she’s definitely not making that money.

I’m wondering if he’s claiming a cut of the donations she’s received for her court case against him. I am honestly expecting this to be the case.

An epic shit ton about him. She, ahem, does not like him very much. To put it mildly. She must be absolutely *thrilled* (no sarcasm here. I sincerely mean this) that Dumbledore’s Army has been coopted and used in pretty much every single protest against the administration.

The only person my brain can see as Melania is Ana Gasteyer. I don’t know why, but that’s who I keep coming back to here.

One of the big factors here is the whole soul thing. Hodor (autocorrects wants this to say “honor,” and, well, not arguing there) has one. Bannon sucks them out of other people.

This is the part I was confused by: Only one drink each? Amateurs.

Waaaaay back when, the only people allowed to read even Bibles were the priests. They didn’t want the common folk to get Ideas and form their own beliefs based on their own interpretations. Priests read the Bible and told everyone what it said, and everyone believed them, period. And then King James had a new version…

I’m convinced that they are scheduling this months away solely to give us something to live for through these dark, dark days.

My then-five-year-old nephew ended up in the hospital with a very, *very* serious injury (think right on the edge of organ failure. A Lifeflight rode to a major medical university 150 miles away was involved) when my appropriately-aged cousin took him out for a ride on an ATV and left the kidlet unattended for…

I used to make a point of going to a movie during the Super Bowl. In the early ‘90s, it was the Spike & Mike All Sick & Twisted Festival of Animation because it happened to be playing here that particular weekend. Fun times.
