I feel oppressed and with a sense of impending doom also.

Yeah, Marcela Valladolid. She’s on that show The Kitchen that shows on Saturday mornings, or as my husband calls it, “Zakarian and four idiots.”

He just got married, and Richard and Chetna made the cakes! Except for the centerpiece, which Ian made. It was ... baked Alaska. Good on ya, mate!

Yes, Paul Hollywood had an affair with Marcela.

They are doing another US series, but Mary is judging it this time with an american male judge! Paul clearly cannot be trusted again...

Paul is connected with BBC though, and not only do they say he’s loyal to the BBC, he’s got a few shows lined up with them. leaving bbc for channel 4 could put those shows in danger.

That was terrible. The contestants just didn’t get it, they were so hell bent on winning and that host was incredibly bad.

They run those crappy seasonal knockoffs on the Food Network a couple times a year, and they are a weak, pale substitution for the delightfulness that is GBBO. I watch them anyway, but I don’t feel, like, good about it.

Didn't the holiday version have Nia Vardalos as host? Because the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Christmas baking is C-list Greek celebrities.

Italian filmmaker Spaghetto

that a responding police officer was also injured when another officer’s gun accidentally discharged.

A tiny, cynical part of my soul imagines that this will somehow be spun into a book followed by a movie, but even if it is, I’m good with it.

“I am a foremost civil rights activist”

Awwww, you're so full of shit.

Ah yes, the old “The only valid way of demonstrating is the way I deem is valid!” argument. Cool story bro.

Yea I kinda doubt you are “foremost a civil rights activist” if you're trying to downplay the discrimination LGBT folk have dealt with in this country.

What in the world does “I am a foremost civil rights activist” mean?

So you want professional sports players to take flags onto the field and burn them during the anthem?

The first thing civil rights activists don't do is compare atrocities among the oppressed.

I’m loaded up on athleisure because guilt-free pajamas in public is my jam.
