We do like 10m warm-up discussing random internet things, but The Dress was such a big thing everyone was pulling photos of it on their cells to talk about it.

Also, apologize to Bree Newsome now, since it was clear that she did the right thing well before you all did (except it’s the politicians that will expect to be patted on the back and applauded). >_<

Are you Indian? Do not try to explain my country to me.

Don't bother. If it happens in the East then Jez writers/readers are totally flummoxed. India is a cesspool of rape, Buddhists are always gentle and kind.

Gotta say, it’s a little disappointing to see a fair number of jezebel commenters make such orientalist assumptions about Buddhism— that it’s practicioners aren’t just as prone to intolerance as members of other religions. How’s the old saying go? I’d never be part of a club that would have Steven Seagal as a member?

You can only watch PotO and Shrek the Musical so many times...

Once again I realize that I’d kill a man for a Netflix type service for professionally done musicals...or to be able to see them in person. Either is good.

I chorlted, good sir/madam.

The British have always been a little strange on how they pick their leaders. To quote the great Dennis, “ Listen, strange women lyin’ in ponds distributin’ swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.”

Hush your mouth, Freddie is never too old to be Charming. He’s a Domestic Prinze, with forthcoming cookbook.

Individual religious beliefs have nothing to do with who the state should allow to marry. If someone’s opposed to same sex marriage, they should refrain from entering one themselves and should join a religious denomination that shares their views, but there’s no reason a person who opposes same sex marriage on…

Yeah, I’m 5’9” and wear a size 6 and I’m by no means skinny. I’m well within the normal BMI range and have plenty of boobs, hips and ass tyvm. Maybe these sizes were “skinny” in the past but vanity sizing has gotten completely out of control lately. I’m not on some “thin shaming is just as bad as fat shaming!”…

And how would I even find out what her size 8 is?! I have some size 8 pants that I wear all the time. I’ve been in dressing room with size 8 pants that I can’t even zip up. No sizes are the same anywhere.

The whole state’s rights thing was invented and invented early, like right after they lost. In the words of Confederate Col. John Mosby about one of the preachers of the idea right after the war (emphasis mine) “According to George Christian the Virginia people were the abolitionists and the Northern people were…

But ... but ... Lincoln was an asshole! He killed half a million people and set the Southern economy back 100 years with awful tariffs and trade embargoes!

Overcooking a good piece of meat is just wrong and a waste of food. If you don’t like rare get pot roast or something like that, don’t pervert a perfectly good piece of meat.

Oh for fuck’s sake. Your heritage sucks. Get over it and take down your racist flag.

I have a question, is there a more anti-american flag than this (I suppose the actual Confederate flag would qualify). I mean this is the battle flag of an enemy of the Untied States, literally declared war against the US, fired upon US soldiers, invaded the North as an enemy force. It is mind-blowing to me that…

“The Confederate battle flag proudly represents states’ rights...”

I love that the show quietly addressed the PTSD resulting from it. Elevated startle response? Check. Crazy nightmares where you’re suddenly transported back? Check. Flashbacks? Check. Random specific items causing you to freak out? Check. (But other than the last one, they’re really not played for laughs outright.)
