Well, yeah. “You’ll have access to cheap, authentic Mexican food on every block” could be one of the best, most uncontroversial campaign promises ever!

And I get creeped out by doll collections! At least that poor widow is finally free. She really ought to offer late hubby’s busty, plastic army to magician David Copperfield—something tells me he’d be delighted—& they’d be ideal models for his vintage lingerie collection.

You must be a very kind & unselfish soul!

My bad for buttonholing the Jurist in an almost random way; sorry :(.

Heeee!!! ty...

[Tho this is an outsider-view based only on reading]:

Oh, you are not alone. His beard is way nicer, & he’s got a bone-structure to make The Rock weep w/envy... Figures it’s just an old class-mate. My impression as a long-time observer of MFA classes was that even those who were super-hot couples thru the whole program usually broke up shortly after graduation :\ .

If you have an ornery suspicion of internet-fed outrage, it’s also worth considering some of the editorials arguing against Recall-The-Judge movements such as this & the one that emerged from the Persky sentencing...

Those poor kitties. You just know he’s used them as background decor in countless dickpix (& he probably makes the same dumb jokes each time). They need a furminator & a more respectful human servant.

“Stop ya messing around....”

But it’d be so sad if Kanye were to disappear. It’s great to have a few big-deal pop musician/clowns who care, & go on, even when we laugh & trivialize them (eg, Miley still charms me, & tho’ Gaga isn’t quite my cuppa, she’s a whole lot more interesting than Brittney or KatyP).

The 90s might’ve been the 1st decade to bring the term ‘culture wars’ into common parlance—but it’s worth remembering that a “war” has more than one side —& also, that our ‘culture wars’ tend to be kindled by a reactionary push-back against progressive advances.

Great interview! Katya is awesome, smart, not (figuratively) totally stuck up her own arse, & genuinely earned that Miss Congeniality award :).

Kanye should do whatever makes Kanye happy (especially if he smiles. I <3 a good Kanye smile). He’s crazy as a you-kinow-what, but his life is dope, & he does dope shit. Also, unlike, say, Real Housewives & many other folks, he has never managed to eclipse my belief in the potential goodness of humanity.

Buffy or even Death Note fandom is safe enough, but a shared passion for JG Ballard is a little more unpredictable. While it may lead to a very interesting acquaintanceship, one should proceed cautiously with prospective hookups.

It seems to be a privilege of the old to freely sling cliched pejoratives at those who are not—after all, our parents complained ad nauseam about“Hippies,” the “Me Generation,” “Slackers,” etc. But sometimes, after chortling at those oh-so-silly Helicopter-Parented Special Snowflakes, I can’t help wondering how I…

In particular I’m almost obsessed with the wtf-ness of Standard Reality Hair. The fave style—super-long tresses hanging over the front shoulders (leaving the back of one’s neck almost bare), then sort of trailing down the boobs—bothers me way more than it should. Reasons? Um... The look shortens neck/shoulder…

Seems to me that almost everyone in the world of generic Reality TV franchises—Housewives, Teen Moms, Bachelorettes, scary Christian cultists, &c—shares that grammatical quirk (along w/a evening-dress-in-daytime dress code, & an overwhelming preference for 1970s-throwback female hairstyles). It’s very weird, & deeply…

You have a point: ST is a way more enticing binge-watch! The vagueness of its spooky-ooky aspect, tho, was a big disappointment to me—they showed too much of something that didn’t deserve to be seen, & it made the threat seem not very real, or very threatening. Seems like making Poltergeist, & deciding to spend a…

Oh, please! Would tot read a (brief) epic poem about Milania. Hers is a name made for blank verse, & RHONJ is terrific fodder for a catalog of demons...
