So someone had both the just announced best actress (opened) card in their hand, and the best film card, and handed off the wrong one? Beatty and Dunaway wouldn’t have noticed anything on the front of the card, most likely, but presumably there is a card wrangler whose only job is (was) to hand off the cards.

But it’s supposed to be a sealed envelope. Did no one notice? Beatty must have done this before.

That was my first thought, but there’s the whole “sealed envelope” thing, and bringing everyone up on stage. Someone’s gonna be in trouble (but Kimmel will never host again no matter what).

Hah ha, oh yes, because the American automotive industry was such a paragon of quality manufacturing before it had to compete and then align with Japanese products.

Oh, I think she *knows* IDEA is federal law, she just doesn’t believe it should be, and thinks states should have the right not to implement it. She is a blight upon humanity as it stands, never mind her potential to destroy public education.

She does not look *anything* like I expected her to.

Is that who it was? I did a superficial googling but could not find out. Search terms of “inauguration,” “prayer,” and “flaccid cheetoh” er “trump” resulted in finding out there were a record number of prayers during this ceremony.

I am pretty sure he just told Melania to get her Slovenian contacts to order an assassination on the guy who just said to Trump “it just started to rain.” After all, we now know the skies cleared and the sun’s golden rays alit upon the orange cheeto as he took the stage.

Fucking hell, YES! I got suckered into it when my cousin posted it on FB. She ended up called me a stuck-up bitch when I responded. That thing read as “me, me, me, and more me!” and then those poor furrin’ women who must need the white woman’s help. But apparently there’s nothing to complain about in ‘Merica, nope.

She…

The Students for Life were the first group we encountered on our way to the March today. They were marching down Constitution east of 14th St around noon (which was not part of the march route and before the start of it—presumably they had some kind of permit for doing this?). Their banner advocated defunding Planned…

Yes, going to have to check out Shriekback’s new stuff. Meanwhile, just queued up No Rest for the Wicked. I feel like such an old fogey to say that there’s no longer the breadth and depth of sound that was available in the 80s. Of course, Thatcher was certainly god’s gift to UK music. I think I’m going to need a…

This song was the first thing that came to mind for me upon reading the original comment, so thanks for posting! Who said New Wave couldn’t improve your vocabulary? (well, no one did, but whatevs...)

Except, these were not actually KinderEggs. They had Cyrillic writing inside, and the Ferrero company said they were not made by them.

I got into in the other night on FB (and I should really know better) with someone over his belief that any acknowledgement of same-sex marriage would result in him being unable to practice his faith, and thus “persecution.” Now apparently he graciously employs LGBT people, and has had them as clients. But he would…

Except it isn’t just those sad people, it’s middle-class people who when you press them on why the last 8 years have been so torturous for them, can only muster spittly harrumphs and say that Obamacare forced their health insurance premiums to go up and therefore Obama has been the devil incarnate.

Sorry, I missed that you had already replied with the same info. I did just come across this interesting web site though: http://apops.mas.org/find-a-pops/ (POPS = privately owned public space).

It still is true and is common in large new building development in NYC. It’s also often negotiated in order to allow developers to have a taller building in return for having public space on the ground level.
