I can see some merit in the phrase in that self-partnered has an air of intention about it. There have been times in my life where I’ve been single, but wanted to be in a relationship, and times where I was single because I didn’t want to be in a relationship. Having a different word for the second situation might…

I got as far as “Emma Watson turning 30" and got too distracted by my joints creaking to read any farther.

I think it’s closer to a well-regarded chef saying McDonald’s isn’t “cuisine” or an author saying James Patterson isn’t “literature.” Obviously, it depends on your exact definitions of the words and whether they connote a certain quality or artistry, but I wouldn’t say those statements are ridiculous on their face.

I’m sure for a certain family in Ireland it died in 1987.

Funny, when my brother got mugged not once but twice, my parents never questioned the fact he was walking home alone late at night or that he had cash on him. The police took his statement like business as usual. My mother wanted to “catch the bastard that did this.”

I saw a tweet the other day that essentially said we’re progressing towards a future where more and more women that are running for office will absolutely have sent nude photos to people at some point throughout their life. So how we navigate that and make the tide turn away from shaming and into accepting that it’s…

Women in marriages of convenience have been singled out for stigma for a long time, but their partners know the score, for the most part.

Jack at the club with Rebecca’s dad is eerily similar to Luke with Richard on Gilmore Girls.

This seems like it would just get messier and messier so I think her resignation was the right thing to do. Another democrat can take her seat in the 2020 election if we are fortunate.

I was very relieved when she said she’s not allowed to vote.

My experience with Starbucks is the opposite, when the labor market is good and the only people they can hire are high school kids, both the quality and speed of service drop dramatically. High schoolers are not really known for their diligence or attention to detail.

Unlike other products on McDonald’s menu, McFlurry demand is highly correlated to weather patterns. It’s a known fact that McFlurry demand increases proportionally to local temperatures. McDonald’s tracks their McFlurry orders from their 37,000+ global locations (think of them like ground level satellites) and sells…

Funny, this. I was at a wedding last night* that, instead of a guest book, had everybody sign a Jenga piece. Something about “help us celebrate building our lives together.” It was kind of charming, if you don’t read toooooo deeply into it.

Or the fact that Shaun of the Dead actually billed itself as a Rom-Com-Zom

The absolute, only rule of wedding planning should be: provide lots of free food and alcohol.

So we're just gonna pretend like Return Of The Living Dead 3 never happened? Because that was the first zom-rom-com.

I think she has a point though. I don’t know anything at all about Charles Rocket beyond that one SNL story. I know a a whole bunch of her work now and yet here she is being asked this same damn thing. And that’s the point- the article itself acknowledges her body of work yet it’s still about this stupid boring thing.

…

The worst part about saying “fuck” when you are not supposed to is that your immediate instinct is to say “fuck!” in frustration, I think that is the face of holding in that follow-up fuck.

Did I miss a Lohan Dance or was the Mykonos hair-flip from last year?

Agreed on Logan’s abuse of Roman.  I thought the way Kendall reacted to it made it very clear it’s not the first time he’s stepped between them.  No surprise, just pure reflex.
