Congratulations on your upcoming two-year mark. That is really awesome, and you are a strong person.

I really believed that the world would go out with a whimper, but maybe we all just heard the bang that will start it all... *sigh*

Frink references warm my heart. +1 from the Pickle Matrix.

OMG, those cheekbones!

Yeah, in my family, we all share ideas with each other about things we would really like but can’t rationalize spending money on for ourselves. My folks don’t really have a problem with that, so I started making donations in their names to charities we all support. (My little nephew still gets prezzies, since he’s a…

Someone brought a bottle of Trump “champagne” to the office holiday party... I’m pretty sure it was a joke played on the one “out” Trump voter in the office. As far as I know, nobody opened it.

Right, no good deed, and all that. That’s what Swinton gets for extending an offer to discuss, I guess? Not sure of the point, I’m sorry.

Yeah, wish he’d hung them up before this...

The chocolate coating makes [the loss] go down easier.

This headline provided the only laugh I’ve had in 24 hours.

Very well put, and what I didn’t explain very thoroughly.

Suddenly, I give a shit about an international soccer player whose last name is not Messi. How YOU doin’, Berardi?

What I mean is that her underlying point about the lack of (and lack of non-stereotypical) roles for Asians is a good one—the situation is disappointing and should be addressed. Her reaction isn’t a good one, but it doesn’t mean her frustration and the cause of it should be dismissed.

She should continue to address the above the line system. It would have even more credence now that there is more publicity because of this.

Honestly, Cho has a good point but is shooting at the wrong target. She needs to take it up with the screenwriters who decided to change the character from an Asian man to a Celtic woman. Swindon was offered a role for which she was suited, based on the script, and she took it. Or am I missing something here??

And thanks to you for the additional info, too.

Ahhh, that is info I didn’t have (I admit I didn’t do any digging, so that you for accommodating my laziness). That makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

I find it hard to be critical of them for this move. Ok, the cops said there’s not enough evidence to press charges, but the university issued suspensions anyway... I get how a team of barely post-adolescent guys would get riled up and protest. And now that factual evidence has been released, they realize that it’s…

Yeah, my county went 72% Hillary, and we all got to watch the horror of the big red blobs take over on election night. Fuck McCrory and his minions.

Oh yeah! Forgot about that guy. God, it’s been a long 2016.
