This. My partner and I briefly considered doing a city hall wedding followed by a very small (<15), outdoor gathering with local friends to take advantage of cheap rates right now. Along with soliciting quotes and dates and the normal planning activities we took an afternoon to map out potential issues and places…

I mean, how many times have we seen bridezillas melt down about how it’s THEEEEEIR DAAAAAAY and everyone has to do what they want? It’s, like, the one day of your life where you have the most control over social proceedings. (Maybe childbirth beats a wedding, but not always.) Use that to your advantage to make sure…

“hey remember when you got married and killed off half the family with Covid cause you were selfish?  yeah I remember.”

Hope Claudia doesn’t have a serious case and fully recovers.

I hope just “yep.”

Fuck him so much.  At this point I’m surprised his Secret Service detail hasn’t quit in protest.  Their job is to take a bullet for him, not from him.

She should have had to, but I wonder what would have happened if Mariah had said, “well Ellen, actually I had a miscarriage recently and all the joking about whether or not I’m pregnant is very hurtful.”

I could see if it if Taylor seemed at all in on the joke, but she’s clearly not into it at all. The fact that Ellen just barreled along makes it seem less like a morning talk show and more like an episode of “Punk’d.”

How do these people both find someone so quickly after divorce? I’ve been trying for 2 years and have only gotten a five month relationship with someone that ended because he decided he wasn’t ready to be in a relationship. Otherwise, just a lot bad first dates.

I’ve never been so sure that Ellen may be a sociopath. 

So because you don’t think she was doing a good job, she deserved to be ridiculed and embarrassed on TV?

I think that was because Taylor had done so many songs about her ex-boyfriends that it was kind of becoming a running gag for many people at that point.

Wow. That was...something else.

That was uncomfortable. Yikes.

She said her dad was black on Oprah when she was just starting out though. How is that cultivating a racially ambiguous image?

Yeah I definitely feel bad for Taylor here. I’ve become a late fan of hers. I can’t imagine having my dating history as tabloid fodder, then doing shows like this that I am not asked about my work that I am proud of, but instead am pressured to reveal personal details about myself.

Not to mention when they’re on camera, they’re working. It’s inappropriate in so many ways.

Pressuring someone to drink alcohol is ~never, ever~ funny or okay. There are SO MANY reasons people can’t drink, whether its addiction, religion, pregnancy, health issues, medication, or any other of a vast array of morals or mental/physical health concerns. Whichever of those things it is, it’s absolutely none of…

I’ve never felt more moved coming out of a superhero movie than Black Panther on openng day. Boseman didn’t create T’Challa, but he made him totally believable as a character -- noble, compassionate, and brave -- and as a figure who could mean so much to so many people, not just lifelong comics fans. This  is…
