Can we all live with “Zigi,” the nickname Tan France has given to Baby Malik-Hadid? [E! News]

Montana here (aka the state with the lowest # of cases and 2nd lowest per capita): we fully reopened at the beginning of this month and the national parks reopened. Tourists are flooding based on the # of RVs and people buying tons of shit at the stores. We closed very early (thanks to our amazing governor) and fully…

Another Chicagoan here. As a bartender, I’m pretty fucking worried about opening indoor seating and bars. We’ve done well because it’s been outdoor seating at restaurants only, until recently. Bars only opened a week ago and indoor seating is only open as of yesterday, and the city itself is still seeing 2-300 new…

I’m in MA, and we are in 2, slowly entering the beginning of 3 next week. We’ve done pretty well, Gov. Baker has been great. 

I’m in NJ and I unfortunately expect our numbers to spike again shortly with what I’ve seen along the shore and people visiting for day trips and staycations.  That and restaurants and bars having outside dining again. 

Speaking of New York, I was very happy to read this report this morning confirming that the Black Lives Matter protests over the past month haven’t caused a spike in new coronavirus cases in NYC:

As far as I’ve read, IL, NY, and NJ are the only three states to have met the Trump Administration’s guidelines for reopening (Guidelines they hate even though they put them out??), and their curves look like European countries.

Neither bacon nor pancetta are the “correct” way to make carbonara, guanciale is what’s considered proper, though of course, you can make it however you like. I use cured smoked beef plate.

NNintendo Online Service does support cloud saves. I have no problem communicating with my friends when we play Switch games online. Ever heard of Discord? Far superior than any of the console manufacturers voice chats. 

Luke Skywalker: And this is the lesson. That Force does not belong to the Jedi. To say that if the Jedi die, the light dies, is vanity.

Cats can have little a box office money.

As an old person I want to say a few things to you: I don’t think anyone is meant to be forever with the person they’re with at 29. If you’re sexually incompatible, you’d be doing yourself a real disservice to settle at this age. Cut those losses. Twenty-nine is a year of casting off and trying something new, whether…

If you happen to be near midtown NYC this week, feel free to pop over and cuddle the dog, have a drink, smoke a bit (if my plug ever gets back to me), and hang.  37 year old gay dude.  Srsly, no pressure. 

You deal with breakups much better than I ever have. I hope next year is better for you. This Christmas season has been stressful for me too. All I did to decorate this year was to put a seasonal wreath by the front door so the neighbors would know I was alive. 

Cats is the new Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever methinks...

Cats being awful surprises no one.
As for Rise of Skywalker... if all of the metrics for how they rate movies existed when the original trilogy or the prequels came out they’d all be torn to shreds. If you’re a fan just go see the movie. You’ll enjoy it. It’s not perfect, but its a good star wars movies. All of the…

“We eat our prey alive, and when we don’t, we lay our eggs in their eyeball so that our young can feast on their brains when they hatch. When you’re born that big an asshole, the least you can do is have a little empathy.”

“Gaslighting doesn’t exist. You made it up, because you’re fucking crazy.”

My practice has always been that I have two jars. I pour everything out of the pan into the first jar and when it gets moderately full, I wash the fat. It gets heated to a boil with a fair amount more water than fat, and the pot gets tossed in the fridge. The fat floats to the top and all the crud falls to the bottom.…
