You say that the Church needs to be updated for modern times, but you dislike the Pope who is doing the modernizing.

Maddow’s reporting on the Russia stuff has been EXCELLENT. She’s always great, but this stuff is particularly good.

I’m pretty sure he’s just a classic narcissist with an anger problem. Also, he’s not smart and very gullible.

Yeah, but they’re 1) not white kids, and 2) not babies, which makes them much less likely to be adopted. These poor kids are screwed every way you look at it.

Yeah, the scene where Terrell and the other guy are picking on Chiron in the street, one of them says something about Juan having died. I kind of assumed that he got killed dealing drugs.

I hope so, too. The whole movie, I just had the overwhelming urge to give that boy a hug. Everyone needs a safe space, and poor Chiron didn’t really have one. Even with Juan and Teresa, he knew he was going to get shit from his mom later for going over there.

I’m so sorry. Thinking of you and your husband, and wishing you both peace.

Yikes. I didn’t even think about that. :-(

I want to go to there.

Rich, if you like this roach, then I cordially invite you to my apartment right now. I woke up to a MASSIVE cockroach right above my window. I smacked it with a broom handle, but instead of falling down to the ground where I could kill it with a flip-flop, it crawled into the crevice between the blinds track and the…

I went on vacation to Argentina a couple years ago and taught myself enough basic Spanish to order food and ask for directions, but I was SO unprepared for the accent! Being American, I’m so used to Mexican Spanish and the “zh” sound for ll totally threw me off. Also, you guys have different words for things. Like,…

I really wish stress made me lose weight.

Never mind. I misunderstood your comment.

Because holy shit that’s a huge error, and I’m sure he wanted to explain that he didn’t mean to cause this massive confusion. The stage was pandemonium at that moment with the La La Land folks leaving and the Moonlight people still making their way to the stage. Everyone was just trying to makes sense of it all and do…

See, Domino kind of kills me, especially since the other girls got normal-if-unusual names. Domino just seems weird.

I guess we just have to agree to disagree on their importance. I’d certainly have them on the list with Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and Earl Hines. Paul Whiteman, too.

Yeah, it’s possible he found out in the middle of his speech. It’s hard to tell.

I picked those two names because they were some of the creators of jazz music way back at its beginning. There are LOADS of other white jazz musicians from over the years, but I was specifically referring to people who helped cultivate and popularize the genre.

I think it’s obvious he didn’t know he had the wrong one until he was standing in the middle of the stage with an open envelope. I can understand why, when you’re standing in front of thousands of live audience members and hundreds of millions of people around the world on TV, you don’t want to run backstage to…

Seriously. I feel bad for Warren Beatty. Yeah, in retrospect, he probably should’ve inquired about the card. But when you’re standing up there in front of tens of thousands of people, hundreds of millions on TV worldwide, and presenting the biggest award of the year, I can understand why someone might be a little…
