Eh. Not my favorite person, but she’s probably a good choice. She cares about this (outdated) organization, and I think she’s motivated to deal with the harassment problem.

I was going for the Third Reich reference, but 1929 works in a different way.

Have you ever looked at paintings of the aristocracy in the 1700s, with their corsets and powdered wigs, and wondered how people came to find something so odd and artificial attractive?

I’m not one of those people who speculates too much about dementia, but there are some signs the president isn’t a well man. Hell, even his innate evil might not be enough to overcome 71 years of eating junk food.

I don’t think they’ll divorce. She’s hoping he’ll die soon, and she might not be wrong.

Yeah, I think the summary was a little too kind in terms of summarizing his behavior. There are something like 100 suicides per year in that forest. That’s one every few days. It’s not exactly unanticipated that a camera crew walking through it might encounter a body.

Poor Aaron Paul. It’s remarkable he’s come as far as he has with an uncle like Rand and brothers like Jake and Logan.

Hell, if you were concerned about suicide prevention, why would you even visit that forest and publicize the deaths? There’s some pretty good evidence that circulating information about suicide methods and popular locations raises the rate. There are a lot of people who have suicidal feelings that come and go, but who…

I actually think it’s weirder for a trophy wife than for a former model. The women I know who’ve modeled haven’t really been all that well-dressed or even interested in having a personal style. It’s a job, and a lot of people who go into it are there more because it fits their qualifications than because it meshes…

That fits with how Donald raised his older kids. Ivanka was going to similar events (populated with men as creepy as her father) at that age. Donald generally expects his kids to be little adults on the rare occasions he sees them. There’s kind of an awful story about how he went to visit Donald Jr. in college, was…

Imagine what visits to Grandpa must be like.

Also a horribly impractical one. Even if it were more attractive, that’s the last thing I’d want to wear to sit down and eat dinner.

Well, it used to be somewhere in the middle of a long string of courses, after the hors d’oeuvres and soup and before a larger course of roast meat. I’m just guessing on this one, but perhaps when the course list for formal dinners was shortened, Americans decided to merge the term entree with roast and then use the…

Now that you mention it, there’s a lot of mush on that menu.

I had it on a cruise about a decade ago, but really, all cruises are kind of stuck in the early 1980s.

Baked Alaska is all right. Very sweet and more fun to look at than eat, but a fine enough dessert. This is definitely a 1983 fetish (or older than that, really, Baked Alaska is more from the first half of the 20th century when people had servants).

It’s cake and ice cream with meringue on top, and the the waiter torches the meringue. I’ve had it (on a cruise ship if all places) and while I wouldn’t order it on my own, it’s not bad or anything. It’s just that it’s kind of a time warp dessert that seems as old fashioned as the wedge salad.

Whoa. You weren’t kidding. She looks like an actual human with emotions in those.

She clearly loves Barron, and in a reasonably normal way as opposed to how Trump loves his older kids. Might be her only humanizing trait.
