Sometimes, through the magic of puberty, chubby kids turn into ruggedly handsome adults.

Someone at CNN did point out that there IS a picture of the pope and our (sigh) President smiling together in the same room. It just hasn't gone viral the way the other ones have. No one who looks at my history would ever call me a Trump apologist, but I don't think we can ever claim to know someone's thought…

…wow.

Personally I think the punishment fits the crime when the sin committed is "humiliating a stranger on social media." We're not hypocrites because Mathers did something undeniably, legally wrong, whereas the 71-year-old woman (that's my mother's age, for god's sake) was just minding her own business.

To play Devil's Advocate—do you think people on the Internet would be less over-the-top outraged if both the perpetrator and victim had been men? There's a fair amount of gleeful "Revenge Against the Mean Girl" schadenfreude going on. You could say our shallow society puts attractive women on a pedestal until they…

Serious question—what do you think would happen if some Russian model did exactly what Mathers did to some poor Russian grandmother?

OK, here's the thing. I like Straight White Men. I'm a Straight White Man myself. Some of my best friends are Straight White Men…

The thing about sweets and snacks is, I want all of the sweets and snacks. All of them.

So politics has completed its transformation into professional wrestling, taking the arts and public discourse with it. Now everything is wrestling.

Ha! The sad thing is, I appreciate anyone dubbing me "Mr. Big shot," even if it's facetious.

I have to walk past a Trump hotel to get to my job every. single. day. And yes, because it's in New York City, it's surrounded by police vehicles and barricades 24/7. Because we must preserve our President's property at all costs?

Looks like he continued to post here until only 2 months ago and then abruptly stopped, so I have to assume he has passed. My condolences to his great grand-children.

On one hand, I'm so sick of CGI armies. Whatever happened to hiring a bunch of drunken locals to run screaming through the woods?

Beyond the initial premise, it's not really a fun story. Like a lot of things Mark Twain did late in life, the second half turns very dark very quickly, and the ending is about as despairing as it gets.

I remember when that move came out, the review here referred to Cate Blanchett as a "fetching Maid Marian," and some anonymous wit in the comments went "Am I the only one who initially read that as 'a felching Maid Marian?'"

Hmmm….

I seem to remember that one featured Amy Sedaris in a disturbingly non-zany supporting role.

A kids movie? About a nerdy teen who gets magical powers and saves the day? Outrageous!

We sure could use another summer camp movie, filled with young people involved in various hijinks/states of undress, while the head counselor looks at the viewer and shrugs!
