I’m not inclined to believe the manufactured bullshit of the tabloids. Meghan seems like a genuinely nice person, and I don’t trust the stories from unnamed sources “close to the royal family” or whatever who claim that there are these big blowouts.

That they have to go to seemingly ridiculous lengths to get mainly “Christian” fundamentalists to comprehend that theirs is not the state religion?

Yeah, no... it says more about the other side, really.

Maybe under other circumstances, but I doubt it applies when it’s a big, corporate entity stealing from a much smaller one and profiting off of their work. They may be mostly about trolling, but they generally do it for socially progressive, leftist causes.

I don’t know about other inconsistencies, but as for the principal (RIP Bronson Pinchot’s character. I was so excited to recognize him onscreen after so long, when I first saw him!), I don’t really see a reason for anyone to suspect “Miss Wardwell” any more than anyone else in his life. She’ll probably easily have…

That’s not all that it amounts to, though. They weren’t objecting on the grounds of the show using the imagery of Lévi’s Baphomet alone, they were objecting because the show ripped off unique elements.

They also create laws which, while on the surface are set up to appear as morally superior solutions to problems which everyone would object to (them not allowing the existence of, or shutting down, abortion clinics for supposedly not being safe because they’re not built up to a nickeled-and-dimed standard of code;…

Fuck it, I’ll be petty. I loathe these people so much, they’ve made it damn near impossible to take the high road 100% of the time. It’s exhausting:

I find the number of Jewish people (well, the ones who are white enough for the GOP to find acceptable, at least to cooperate to advance their overlapping agenda in the Middle East) on the side of the far-right and Trump, who are enthusiastically anti-migrant and anti-refugee, and who see legitimate criticism of…

Mie Goreng (to the best of my ability). The Indonesian version of chow mein, basically. I’m still deciding on egg or tofu version. Probably egg.

Oh, I remember her. She was really nice, I think... not one of those difficult people who are lazy and can’t accept criticism. IIRC, she just had other issues with getting the word out about her restaurant?

That’s a situation where, if the owner and staff are not accustomed to the volume of traffic due to their…

I don’t need IMDB credits to jog my memory of BD Wong, and he’s been in a lot of SVU episodes, too... but his name still brings to mind Father of the Bride and Mulan, first, for me.

And what about ScarJo?

Sometimes I’m okay with some tea, but only in cases where there’s nothing better on offer; I never seek it out.

Sounds like a restaurant I worked in once, for a time. They only did a deep clean of the kitchen once per year (if I’m being generous. I wasn’t there for long enough to see it recur at yearly intervals, so I only have their word... which didn’t mean much). There was dried on grease on metal fixtures which was so…

If anyone with a restaurant is “forced” to close because the place is suddenly popular and full over the popularity of a menu item for which the ingredients are easily sourced, then that’s on them. A constantly busy restaurant is a true restaurateur’s dream. If people are lined up out the doors to the point where they…

The number of Jewish people coming out of the woodwork in the Trump era as far-right whackjobs with raging hard-ons for tormenting asylum seekers is just depressing. Like, is the irony totally lost on them??

Some Yemi Alade:

Music thread, motivational/upbeat edition. I’m working through a flare up of chronic pain/fatigue symptoms from a trip I took to see family, 3 weeks ago, so I need every bit of help to dig deep for what tiny bit of energy I can find to get any shit done. I’m currently listening to Mother Mother’s new album “Dance and…

He’s almost entirely unfiltered id, lumbering around in a lumpy skin suit topped with cotton candy hair the colour of stagnant piss.

Oh man... this is too coherent, and there are sooooo many edits! The camera cut back and forth, what... six times? You just know that they had to film numerous takes, to piece together something semi-coherent from him.
