Ninety percent of why that omelet line worked so beautifully is because of Eve’s cheerful “Okay!”

They do that because if you’re fast-forwarding, you immediately stop the remote as soon as you see show footage. Then when you discover that it’s just a promo, you’ll likely just keep it going instead of fast-forwarding again. It’s annoying as hell, but it’s also very clever in the age of DVRs.

Buttigieg said “All lives matter” at a speech in 2015. In this case, context is definitely important.

On the flip side, I’m an apple-shaped plus-sized woman. Thanks to vanity sizing, I can fit into just about everything at Gap and Old Navy, but their proportions are ridiculous. If it fits in the waist, it balloons around my thighs like riding jodhpurs. Oh, and here’s a fun one: back at Christmas, I bought three pair…

Maybe they’re confusing him with Joaquin?

And thank you. To be honest, I’d never given that use of “fabulous” any thought. Now I’ll take advantage of my mental thesaurus!

This morning, thanks to lack of coffee and an AV Club headline, I was imagining Spike Lee directing a remake of Song of the South. Now I’m imagining a Danny Boyle 007. My brain is kind of crazy-fun today.

One of my favorite sketches ever!

I can’t be the only one who read that as “Spike Lee’s Song of the South”, which would be ... kind of fascinating. I’d love to see his interpretation of Br’er Rabbit.

I was waiting for that, or just a chance to make a molotov cocktail joke. *happy sigh*

Until I read this post, I had never connected Tan France = French Tuck. I’d assumed it had been around for a while and originated in, uh, Paris? Is Tan really taking credit for inventing it?

Dear god, a whole cable channel about Waco?

Five years ago, Huffman/Macy was one of my “if they break up, love is dead!!!” celebrity couples. Funny how things have changed!

These days, I almost want to use Chrome and Firefox in permanent private/incognito mode, but I’m paranoid that companies are still tracking me. Heck, I was curious (in a see-the trainwreck-for-myself way) about a few MLMs after reading horror stories online, but I was too afraid to google them lest the company start…

Yup. And obtaining SAT/ACT accommodations for special ed is complicated*. It’s not as simple as showing up on Saturday morning and asking for your own private room. You have to jump through a bunch of hoops and submit official documentation months in advance. It’s certainly possible that the daughter wasn’t in on the…

Eh, can’t really fault Splinter for the mislabeling. Everyone forgets that we Gen X’ers even exist.

Plus, being able to successfully manage “the kinds of issues that really hit Americans” on a local level doesn’t necessarily translate to success in foreign and monetary policy — both of which are crucial parts of a president’s skill set. Well, Trump excepted.

Yup. And it starts young. When I taught middle school (I’m now at HS), I would often give students the option of writing me an apology note in lieu of getting written up or a parent phone call. Instead of “Yeah, I screwed up by [doing whatever], have learned my lesson, and will never do it again,” I would usually get…

Seconding everything you said, except for you teasing us with S2 of Fleabag. Though I’m pleased to hear that it’s possibly even better than the first!

Snagged this from FB last week. Good thing my mom laughed when I texted it to her. I think they’ve finally given up on me. Yay!
