“I’ve had several months to reflect on a very challenging moment in my life.

“Chill out, Jon Hamm! Go throw a football really well, and if you want to get involved in this stuff, learn about it!”

“...but sounds almost exactly like Denzel.”

I like how John David Washington has a gentle, laid-back demeanor like Pauletta but sounds almost exactly like Denzel. Also, watch Beckett if you haven’t already.

Lies! While I have had a bad fruit cake, usually it’s that little $1-4 bricks you buy at Walmart.

I love a good fruitcake. Lifehacker posted last year about the Assumption Abbey fruitcakes, I’d order it again if I weren’t on a mission to try a different cake each year.

one day, I’ll make my own.

But I agree, pumpkin does…

“Also, if grandma is too heavy-handed with the alcohol, that will override everything else in the cake, so that all you taste is rum.” - A great fruitcake is both rare and exceedingly difficult; they are so under represented in the class, that it’s perfectly reasonable to claim they don’t exist. That said, implying…

The GQP won’t be happy until we’re back in the 1950's. Their female mouthpieces like Greene and Bobert are going to find out the hard way that their male counterparts don’t give a shit about them for anything more than to convince white women to vote to keep the party in power. As soon as their goals are complete,…

Cosign, mostly. In my grandma and mother’s houses turning on the stove light shows that the house is Orderly with respectable, God-fearing, good-living folk living there and the evidence is the cleanliness of the kitchen (& house) that the light showcases. Which means it ain’t the partying, cussing, drinking and being…

Couple of humanizing tales: vacationing with my aunt & mother chatting, laughing and having fun while rushing to get dressed, Auntie brushed her teeth with Preparation H! I was a teen and I laughed but it scratched & burned her gums! We called Poison Control and she was fine but I felt bad for laughing. Her taste buds…

Dolphins are smart enough not to write dumb emails.

I gave her all the empathy; I defended her tooth&nail in the comments here! But I have reached my limit. Anyone can mistake a bottle or just have a real brainfart in logic. But after all the care she got from the Black doctor, why in all of God’s green Earth would she put ANY chemical in her hair for several years to…

Most likely could, not sure about would.

Same question. Could a new Gov fix this despite the language used in the pardon?

If anyone has Curiousity Stream, there’s a nice documentary featuring Mr. Burton. Also a good one about Sam and Latanya Jackson!! They’re worth a watch. Learned a bit more about all of them than I’d known before. Excellent watch!

So funny story about that event.

In addition, Gough actually calls them “victims” himself:

Dave admitted to doing the same with Nile Rodgers and intro Teen Spirit too.

Interestingly, AKA studiously avoided commenting on that directly.

Even if they didn’t get approval I don’t know that there’s a case here. Trademarks and copyrights are generally to protect against commercial infringements. If they printed up fan merch with AKA and insignias on it, that would be clear cut, but when included as part of character development or commentary and not the…

I am no lawyer but if the insignia and colors are not trademarked I am not sure they need approval.
