Hadn’t you heard, Ireland’s in the middle of a summer-long drought. It’s rained maybe twice in two months. Absolutely gorgeous weather. In the 20sC/70sF, sunny, perhaps a bit humid compared to an arid climate . . .

Don’t forget trying to hound Leslie Jones off of Twitter: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/20/movies/leslie-jones-star-of-ghostbusters-becomes-a-target-of-online-trolls.html

“‘I think a lot of conservatives are just afraid to show up for public events,’ she said through tears.”

Yeah. Kids don’t know whether or not an actor may or may not support Israeli apartheid, they just know that a superhero came to make their day better when they were sick or in pain, and stuck in a hospital.

I mean, just about any time an actor stops by a children’s hospital in costume it’s for the good publicity, but if the upshot is brightening the day of sick kids stuck in hospital, who cares?

Yeah. I don’t have much time for that.

That would be excessive. They’d need to crisp GRRM first.

It can’t be better than the Gaston sing-off between Hugh Jackman and Luke Evans.

Having watched an entire 10+ high stack of pint glasses go crashing to the floor, glass shrinkage from a few people nicking a glass now and then is nothing to breakage.

That sounds like there’s some history behind it.

Absolutely CA would let someone with only a high school education work for an attorney for three years and then take the bar exam. Taking the California Bar Exam doesn’t require a law degree.

Not to completely disrupt your point, but I think you need to put serious scare quotes around “coming out” here. He was in a local production of Romeo and Juliet back in 1998, and I recall discussion at the time of him being gay. It might not have been common knowledge before he made his big 2006 announcement, but it…

America . . . is willing to air its dirty laundry in public. People are willing to name a problem in order to change it.

I think the bar is still set by Kim Kardashian turning a leaked sex tape into . . . well . . . the ever-present Kardashians.

How about a headphone jack? I’d like one of those.

Shampoo bars really depend on 1) your hair and scalp types, 2) your water hardness, 3) what you’re using. They might work wonderfully or they might leave your hair a brittle, residue-laden mess. If you’re in a hard-water area they’re much less likely to work.

Try sulfur soap? Haven’t tried this, but sulfur seems to be the best thing for acne for me.

Goats milk soap. Zum bars are gorgeous.
