And congratulations to you, too, Brian! You’ve just accurately described how health insurance works!

McCain probably figured out how to get an apparent win/win out of this. He did the toothless vote to go showing off his Republicanism, then backtracked when that blew up in his face. Ending it all by voting against it earlier and killing it would have Pissed Off the Rs. Now probably figures that he can claim high…

But I think the problem with shows like this and Man in The High Castle is that there’s no way to quantify the effects of leaving an entire race/creed of people out of society. Individual contributions don’t exist in a vaccum. Think of how different music would be if all those amazing southern-born POC artists were…

First of all, if you can’t even manage to get the announcement right then I don’t know what right you think you have to ask people to reserve judgement or have faith in you to get the actual show right. This is a tiny spec in a great big deal of what they’re creating and they botched it horribly.

“It was not a Christian like thing to do AT ALL and wish I could take it back, but I lost my cool and I can’t,” Hensley said. “I am terribly sorry. I am in tears with regret and will take any form of punishment deemed fit.”

I’d be throwing down a spike strip and boarding that bastard with a cutlass and an eyepatch.

No, I’d be hungry for icecream.

Counterpoint: I used to live in Harlem (125/St. Nick!) and my only real issue is that the truck after 9pm would still be there, but would stop selling ice cream, only weed :(

Also wonderful and less well-known is that Thin Red Line is the “sequel” to Eternity. The main characters don’t overlap, but it’s the same unit as they transition to the war in the Pacific. Malick’s movie and Jones’ book feel very different, but both are exquisite.

wow.. good job!

Bobby Moynihan or no one.

Anyone else seeing a weird line across her face in the header image? O_o

That was word for word my reaction to this picture.

This building in London melted cars until they put a shade on it.

This was a recipe that I made when I was maybe 9 years old for a church dinner. (Actually, it was for Food & Fellowship which was on the second Sunday of the month. I digress.) Anyway, it was a recipe that I got from Zoom!, a show I watched religiously on PBS. My mother was exasperated with that show because it…
