I don’t hate Bernie but I didn’t vote for him either.

oooh you should stream Hot 96.9. It’s the best - pretty much only hip hop & r&b from 1995-2005. Jam after jam. https://hot969boston.com/

As if Trump has the core strength to actually stand up on a small boat.

Agreed. Cardi seems to be a woman completely devoid of charm and kindness. She’s had some hit songs but I guess we never get to stop hearing about her because she’s living about five years worth of gossip stories in eighteen months. She’s had a relationship, proposal, wedding, pregnancy, birth, cheating rumors,…

Miss Spain is the first transgender Miss Universe contestant, so I’m not sure she’d appreciate the “drag” comment about her. 

It’s inspired by Delftware pottery. The Dutch used to import it from China but started making their own in the 1600s when the supply was interrupted.

I recently read something written by a native american woman regarding the Cherokee portrayal in Outlander. She mentioned that at this specific time in history, the tribes in this part of the continent were known to willingly enter into these treaties and that they did so in exchange for things they wanted, like guns…

Based on behind-the-scenes images released by the production, Brianna will still go to Lallybroch and see her cousins/Ian Sr. Not sure how they will handle Jenny’s absence, but apparently the actress was doing a play at the same time and couldn’t be there for filming.

I am a woman and I can confirm that other women think it’s OK to talk to me while I pee, especially through the closed bathroom door in my own home. I just cheerfully yell back “bathroom time is just for me time!” and refuse to engage any further. 

Just read the vulture recaps instead. It’s so much more pleasant to read recaps by someone who doesn’t actively despise the show they are reviewing. https://www.vulture.com/2018/12/outlander-recap-season-4-episode-5-savages.html

Well said. I am so sick of the complaint that the show portraying historical events implies positive endorsement of those events. Of course it’s important for Native American and African American stories to be told. However, this show is based on an existing nine book series that is told from the point of view of a…

I think you should stop watching the show. I’ve read all the books, and they don’t fuck off back to Scotland. It sounds like it’s causing you only discomfort to keep watching. Lots of other good shows out there!

In the book, Marsali is left in Jamaica (under Lord John’s care, I think) to have her baby and Fergus goes back to fetch her during this time period. In the show, there really isn’t any reason for them to not be at Fraser’s Ridge, but I think it’s because the show wants to focus on Claire and Jamie alone moments, and…

it sounds like they are pretty normal with each other as a family. It’s only the public functions or state occasions where stuff gets complicated. 

I have a vague memory of a sears catalog storefront in the East Village in Manhattan around 2004. I had never seen one before.

Nah, it went bust. https://www.amazon.com/Jessica-Simpson-Dessert-Treats-Frosting/dp/B0017K81I0

There was a notorious clinic in Georgia that sold babies to desperate parents. https://narratively.com/babies-for-sale-the-secret-adoptions-that-haunt-one-georgia-town/

My cousin who has bad taste in media. I tried watching the first season out of curiousity and it sucked me in a little more than I’d like to admit. I quit after the third episode when I could feel myself start to get dumber but I feel like I probably could have finished the season.

I read the article a couple weeks ago and left with exactly the same thought. Things he described about the restaurant didn’t sound like cause for closure, then there was the “personal problems” throwaway line, then the restaurant closed. I had guessed that the personal problems stuff had alluded to depression or…

I am specifically speaking about the issues given attention within the context of the women’s march/intersectional feminism. Corbyn isn’t part of that movement but it’s great that he spoke up in his capacity as a government representative. People within the movements have certainly acknowledged other global issues,…
