Kind of a terrible gift now that Cersei is imprisoned and it will be officially acknowledged that Tommen is the product of incest and has no claim to the throne. I doubt they’ll continue to let him rule once Cersei goes on trial. If Tommen was the gift, he might as well have gotten her a Beanie Baby.

He did, but the difference between Joffrey and Tommen is that Joffrey was always saying “I am the King!” to remind people that he can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants and no one can stop him. When Tommen says it, the point is, “I am the King, but I am powerless.” Which basically illustrates their different…

The world of GoT (like the actual world we live in) is a world where the 1% live in opulence and the rest live in horrendous poverty, men die horribly and women are raped. It’s been that way since the first season. I was hardly surprised or shocked that Gilly was cornered — the Night’s Watch is mostly comprised of…

I hope Daenerys meeting Tyrion makes her plot a little more interesting. She was one of my favorite characters in the first few seasons but she’s just been placidly fucking up all over the place this season, only it’s not in an interesting trying-to-learn-how-to-be-a-queen kind of way, just in a frustrating “WHO IS…

Be careful with that stuff and never take it more often or in greater amounts than indicated on the package. I ended up with a bleeding stomach lining after taking it too often when I had pain from a wisdom tooth coming in. Naproxen is serious business.

It wanted me to post something to my feed (which I did and just said “I need to do this to get off the wait list”) but then Step 2 was soliciting a certain number of female Facebook friends, which I refused to do. Maybe they change it up?

I had a hard time getting off Ipsy’s wait list and had to send a strongly-worded email to get off of it, but I felt like I got a lot of value for my $10. I got a 4oz Oscar Blandi texture & volume spray that Sephora sells for $24, so with all the other products, it’s a lot of bang for your buck. I’ve heard similar…

I got my first Ipsy GlamBag this month and, after spending months on their wait list and only getting off because I sent them an email ultimatum (“TAKE ME OFF YOUR WAIT LIST OR CANCEL MY ACCOUNT”), and I was stoked about my Ipsy bag. I got:

Why does the marriage have to be non-romantic just because money is exchanged? A “wife bonus” doesn’t mean that the relationship is a strictly employer-employee, business-only type of arrangement. A person can love their partner deeply and appreciate them as human beings, while giving them gifts to acknowledge a job…

Weight Watchers is great if you need to drop 15 to 20lbs. But fair warning: If you have a lot of weight to lose, it gets a lot harder to keep losing, it gets discouraging when you fight for every 0.2lbs lost, and it also gets hella expensive. I have joined, quit, and re-joined 4 times. I have always gained back what I…

Sometimes customers are having a rough day and just trying to get their coffee too. That compassion goes both ways.

I live in the DC suburbs (on the VA side) and won’t be avoiding manicures because of the article. I go to a salon owned by a Vietnamese family; the owner’s wife does nails alongside her employees and her daughter. All the women speak English well and we chat about their lives. They work a normal 5-day week (which I…

I think it might depend on the color? I’m a natural blonde and dye my hair a light auburn with box dye (because red fades so quickly I’d be bankrupt trying to maintain it professionally) and my stylist thought it was my natural color; I told her it was Loreal Preference and she said, “Hey, it works for you!” I think…

Can you tell me where I said that the CVS or any property was worth more than someone’s life? That’s a fine looking strawman you’re building there. Now kindly go away, and come back when you’re graduated high school, and can have a conversation with grown-ups without devolving into childish name-calling and…

Wow, you really interpreted “that CVS was important to the people of the community and the people were negatively impacted by it being looted and burned” as “that CVS is more important than people?” You really don’t have much of a capacity for nuanced conversation, do you? But, anyway, you can take your cursing and…

You’re overestimating the clarity of your comment; the comment you were responding to was talking about Mayor Rawlings-Blake and drew a comparison to DeBlasio. But I’m sorry, I should have known what you were thinking but didn’t write.

Wait, where the fuck were you talking about DeBlasio? Context: Put it in your comment before yelling at internet people for misinterpreting your one-line comment and assuming it’s about the thing you’re commenting on, which is Baltimore.

Given that the residents of her city are currently living in a state of emergency, having their stores looted and set on fire, watching their schools and businesses shut down, and living in fear due to the rioting... condemning the people fucking shit up and burning things down was standing up for the residents of her…

She was holding a press conference about the rioting in Baltimore; the chief of the Baltimore City PD (Anthony Batts) held a press conference 4 days ago addressing Freddie Gray’s death, let the public know that there are currently over 30 investigators looking into it, and promised to prosecute any officers found to…

Native Baltimorean here. Baltimore police officers are paid terribly, receive little training, and have jobs more dangerous than your average suburban cop can even imagine. They are burned out. Burned out, bitter cops are pretty much guaranteed to be bad cops.
