I watched the first few episodes of this season out of curiosity to see whether her uber-religious worldview is reflected in the show (or whether DJ would be casually wearing MAGA hats or something this year), but it’s surprisingly liberal? I mean, she won’t say ‘oh my god’ - she says ‘oh Mylanta’ instead,…

I watched season 1 half delirious with a fever last winter, so clearly at least one demographic for the show is ‘highly medicated, half asleep adults’.

Well, never mind that what Trump is basically saying is that he can grope a woman’s genitals without her permission, because most women wouldn’t dare to question a rich and famous man. Aside from that, how about the fact that the emails are emails - private documents exchanged between individuals that were hacked…

I’m definitely going to see this movie on opening day, but yeah, when I heard that plot, I was a little deflated.

I’m currently on the hunt for a turquoise velvet sofa, so I’m clearly not deterred by lots of velvet. She’s rocking it! I especially love the tie - she looks sexy as hell.

God, I loved The Good Girl. Might need to rewatch that one soon. I just remembered that Zooey Deschanel was in that too, and she was hilarious. I miss those deadpan, dry and pissed off characters she used to be so good at.

Same! I actually got called to serve once in university, but I was starting school a couple of days later, and they let me out of it at the time. Now I’m called to the Bar, so I can’t serve anymore. :(

Wow, that’s awesome. I really have a lot of respect for Couric - she has a new(ish?) podcast on Earwolf that I just started listening to, and it’s great. I just listened to the one with Al Franken, and the newest one, with Julia Louis Dreyfuss, and they were both really enjoyable. Recommend.

As someone with many Italian friends, I can attest that this is common. I went to Europe with a friend before university, and we spent an entire afternoon with her Aunt in Italy buying expensive gold jewelry for us to take back for various babies/toddlers in the family. I could barely afford to eat meals while we were…

Same - I’ve been wearing it out for like four years. That and the EP, Nostalgia Ultra. I think on CO, my perennial favourite is Forrest Gump, but I love Pyramids and Lost too. My all-time fave might be Swim Good from NU. I also really love Novacane.

This could be a total reach, but I also thought that Nancy Wheeler’s name might have been a little shoutout to Judy Blume, queen of 80's YA fiction. Nancy Wheeler was the name of Margaret’s best friend in ‘Are You There God, It’s Me Margaret?’. Maybe that was just a coincidence, since Nancy was a really popular name…

I am a person who doesn’t really have a maternal side; I’m much more affected by animals in movies or tv than kids normally. But El just killed me. Every time her little chin quivered or a tear rolled down her cheek I just wanted to reach through the tv and hug her and soothe her until she felt okay. It was so…

Golden Girls, Designing Women and The Facts of Life are the feminist trifecta of my childhood television experience, and I still love them all so much. Also, GG was my little brother’s most favorite show between the ages of like 7-12 - we couldn’t watch dinner at any time other than 5:30 because that’s when the reruns…

And I heard that they said that the co-owner was wearing a ‘Sheriff’s star’ necklace too. Sad!

Ooooh, I don’t know much about hairspray, but can we do this for non-crunchy volumizing mousse too???

As a Canadian athiest, I’m not familiar with many televangelists, but I lived in Jacksonville, FL for a time and I was kind of obsessed with her. I just called her the ‘Pink Hair Lady’, though. As someone who finds televangelists fascinating (and repugnant), she was my favourite to watch.

God I still want to rock this look. Vintage Madonna is my Supreme.

Yeah, my usual move was to play with the dog, but he must not have been around this time.

I watched this with my mom, and when the rollercoaster scene started I was so uncomfortable that I essentially performed a monologue on how much I loved the song that was playing. A few days later, I came home from school and The Sunday’s CD was on my bed - my mom must have been convinced that they were essentially my…

I went looking for “the picture” to post for you and came across this one instead, that was new to me:
