I would just like to add theaters, in general, are the worst. I went to NYC this past December and saw 2 plays. The experience was horrible with people loudly eating, drinking, talking and dropping things. The plays I attended were not cheap and I just don’t understand it except that folks think they are in their…

This. The first time I ever heard it was on RuPaul’s Drag Race 5 seasons ago.

Her substance abuse is an open secret, and so I would not be surprised.

I used to work in admissions at a university in Oregon, and my understanding is due to the state budget crisis in 2008/09, Californian universities stopped admitting that many students because they didn’t have the space. Many Cali students ended up in Oregon and at other NW schools. My university’s enrollment exploded…

YES TO ALL OF THIS

There’s a Monk episode that takes place in a funeral home, and there’s multiple urns and he’s trying to compulsively arrange them how he thinks they should be, and knocks a bunch over. It’s the only episode I’ve ever watched, but it left an impression.

Crying babies never annoy me, and everything usually does annoy me. If a baby is crying, I feel really bad for that baby. I’ve been told that they really feel the change in air pressure, and that’s why they cry. So yeah - I actually don’t blame them.

Sadly, I don’t think Ivanka is alone in her dumb belief. I work at a university with a union, and I actually was told something similar when I was given a desk audit many years ago. After changing my classification, they started me out at the lowest wage level so that I’d have something to work for on a graduated…

I once attended a party in college because I heard there was weed there, and there wasn’t any. Instead, Monk was playing on the TV while people played beer pong. It was more embarrassing than the one Malia attended.

I have the same problem with whole wheat/barely/rye - if I drink/eat, I am sometimes vomiting with painful cramps with in an hour. At best, if it’s processed white flour, I just have sore gums.

Fifteen years ago, I spent the first Christmas with my partner’s family. We had been dating for 2 years, and then I moved in with him. His brother and sister-in-law took out a home equity loan on a house that she had been given debt-free by her grandmother. So they were flush with cash, in their early 20s, and…

I think you are identifying that this wouldn’t affect their popularity. And, true, Swift fans wouldn’t care. But I think this article identifies the perceived respect an artist receives for writing/producing their own work, and for women in the industry, it’s even more difficult to gain that respect with or without…

Just started watching Sabrina and it’s amazing. Love Lucy Davis. Thanks for asking about Pride & Prejudice! I just rewatched that as well.

I was very afraid of shower drains when after seeing It. I remember going to Outdoor School and being afraid to shower.

I stuck with the show the whole season, and it grew harder and harder to watch. Really ambitious in trying to weave feminist theory into a mainstream show on a commercial cable channel. But they used rape as a plot device towards the end of the run. I also just had a feeling they would cancel it. The viewer ratings…

I’ve heard rumors for 2+ years that they were going to release an HD version of the original Animal Crossing, and I figured it was delayed for the Switch. Still no word. I’m fearful that they are just going to stick with the mobile app game, which I really don’t like playing. But I wonder if there’s more of an income…

Also been rewatching alot of Mr. Show lately, and they pretty much predicted the Trump voter with Bob’s CS Lewis Jr character, especially in the recorded skits he did for the live tour.

I think I’m the only Mr. Show fan who hated the Story of Everest. I also think Rudy Will Await Your Foundation is one of their best episodes ever, between Audition, Superstar Machine, and Prenatal Pretties.

I took her performance to be part of what you said - hypocrisy of appealing to white rich art owners. But I also took her entire performance as self-flagellation. She is still benefiting from capitalism in the United States in many ways, but she’s recognizing it in a public way that is humiliating. It’s her penance as…

If I’m not mistaken, I believe all these women are in that North Carolina cult that the AP wrote a series of articles about last year. They all supported Trump and there are several photos with them at his rallies.
