Gemma Chan for the win, Laura Dern second.  I have never seen her look better (although this small photo doesn’t capture it.)

I thought he looked amazing. 

I came to complain about “Shallow” as best song. I love the duet, even like the music and some of the lyrics. But I couldn’t have voted for a song that has both singers hold, for extended periods of time, the awkward half-word, “Shaaaaaa-aaa-aaaa-.”  It wasn’t better in person than in the movie.  “In the

Plus, cojones to sing in front of both Queen and Rami Malek - and shine doing it.

Because of my profession and my name, most people online think I’m a dude. I never disabuse them of the notion, I just enjoy the hell out of it. Fortunately, no one has tried to engage me in locker room talk but it is fascinating how differently I’m treated when they haven’t met me in person. Then I enjoy it a lot

A lot of sociopaths and psychopaths do the bug-egged thing - it’s actually a good way of telling if the person is trying to “charm” you. Forced eye contact.  Notice how much Sheryl Sandberg and Mark Z. do it. I was watching a 48 Hours last night and there was the psychopath killer teenager with The Stare Eyes.

I don’t actually disagree with you.  I’m just trying to cut her as much slack as possible.  Her behavior was still unacceptable - and not just for the issues of grossness that you cite.  I think it shows a pattern of impetuousness and poor decisionmaking in the moment, which isn’t what I want in the person with

That actually depends on the size of the lettuce, and I can see the narrative now - “Amy K. eats with her hands.” If I’d just come through an airport and gotten on a plane, I’d assume my hands weren’t clean enough to eat with and we don’t know whether she could have gotten up to wash them. To boot, we are told that

And then why have the staffer clean the comb? Because you couldn’t take out a napkin and wipe it yourself?  This is a power-tripping human and we already have a big Cheeto-looking one in the White House. Can we nominate a grown-up?

I also wasn’t voting for her anyway, because if you’ve worked for an “Amy” you know why - but I also worry about her problem-solving skills.  Are we to assume that there wasn’t another fork on the entire plane?  not a spoon, not a plastic knife with a pointy end?

Oh, please, by your trolling comment, no one gets to complain about domestic abuse if “it’s only a broken arm.” Abuse is abuse, wherever it happens, and if people are fleeing work with her, that speaks for itself. You clearly are way undereducated about mental health issues in regards to bullying, suicide, the

That is horrific if she expects that they will be responding in the middle of the night, or that they will have accomplished something she demands by 6 a.m.

This may be true. I also think the worst of the worse rise because they are just fucking good at putting on the Sweet Amy face when the cameras are on. I worked for a horrible person who went through department heads, like me, like those small Kleenex packs you keep in your purse. One department turned over heads

Exactamundo.

Thank you for calling this out. I’ve been traumatized over my career by having to work for people like Klobuchar, and then having to find a new job, sometimes on short notice and after cross-country moves at my own expense. The specific examples staffers have given speak for themselves, and they have nothing to do

The disturbing thing to me is that Piers Morgan is flat-out a stalker, someone who had stoked and stoked and stoked the ugliness, kept these people in the press, and all because he couldn’t get his way with Meghan.  He’s so enraged that she did not continue a professional relationship with him once she began dating

I am actually cheered by the fact that it sounds like she was in a bad situation and some clever souls joined her to get out of it.  I like to think she found a nice butcher to marry, became a merchant by selling cloaks (and maybe shrouds for fake burials), and moved to a more scenic town.

I think I’ve devoted my life to “wandering at large” - I just didn’t know it was a thing!

I find it touching that the National Enquirer thinks the pictures are extra naughty because he’s in undies, perhaps sexting, and wearing his wedding ring.  Dudes, most people cheat with their rings on unless they’re lying to the mistress about being married.  It’s like the NE thinks their readers are pearl-clutching

Yeah, more than once I’ve thought, if you could write through that, it wasn’t all that traumatic.  Some of the things I’ve lived through, I could barely crawl across the floor for days, weeks, months, or years, and I certainly have no wish to relive it.  Yeah, yeah, some people find it cathartic.  I’ve read very few
