I always look to Calgary television to keep up on what's current in slang.

Ingenious maybe. But I don't buy for a second that this was ingenuous. Disingenuous if anything.

And, the Serial parody. Anything with the women in it.

I'm sorry, I really don't like the way she sings. She may be proficient. To my ear she's not pleasing. Too much scooping and gulping.

Yes, this skit had a strange, Andrews Sisters-on-acid vibe, 40s moxie mixed with postmodern absurdism. I watched SNL this week because I like Amy Adams, and one thing was very clear to me: the women on the show rule.

I don't think this was an eye for an eye thing. I think it was a sick guy who killed his ex and felt he had nothing left to lose.

This confirms a lot of things I've suspected for years. I've let my gym membership lapse. Running or biking out in the fresh air, yoga in a lovely, sunlit studio—that's going to have to suffice for my fitness plan. One of these days I'll buy some weights, but I only go to the gym now on days when it's too foul to…

Yes, please.

How about it, Hillary?

Good lord. This is diet racism, yes, like neufchatel is diet cream cheese. Still loaded with calories.

Not crying. Would like a beer though. Which I guess is the point. Do people actually get emotional over this patently manipulative bullshit?

Are the good white people who are deleting racists and participating in demonstrations actually the same good white people who ask why people of color must make everything about race? Is it possible there are some differences among them? (I think if they're asking that question they truly don't get it. Perhaps…

Yes, but I still think the Ferguson protesters should have gotten it.

Remember Jezebel's freak-out posts about Amber Vinson because she took a plane!!!! What hysteria, what fear-mongering, what ignorance, what . . . you don't remember?

I'm assuming from the spelling of "apologise" that this all took place overseas. Does this really rate as being international news?

I am rooting for the protesters. They have forced a national discussion that needed to happen.

Scat people, because everybody knows Asians excel at vocalese.

I remember some humorless journalist said she shouldn't have gotten the Oscar nomination because she wasn't acting, but just being herself, and upon hearing this she responded, "I'm not like Hushpuppy, because she goes out with no pants on, and I wear my pants."

I don't particularly love Brian Williams, no. I also wonder why, the more interesting national new is (Ferguson, Supreme Court decision on pregnancy leave, etc.) the more irrelevant Jezebel's posts become.

Agreed. I'd be just as happy to see her keep her job with the congressman, where she could continue to do great damage.

I really appreciate the word "encheesened."
