I thought it was breathtakingly elegant. And I think it needed that.

Granted, I’ve only watched the series once, but until this very moment reading this article, it never occurred to me that Nora might not have gone through exactly what she said she went through.  Now I feel like kind of a dummy.

Good for her. I only wish she had gotten more, like getting that cop fired. I was physically cringing reading it, unable to imagine the humiliation she must have felt. The fact that the cop, also being a woman, broke a very basic protocol searching her in front of the male officers tells me she did very much it on…

Seriously. I hate that Splinter is gone and the sad thing is, I don’t miss it as much for their own posts as for the bulk of smart commenters who dug deeper and offered additional links and information. I can read the news anywhere, but I don’t dip into comment sections anywhere outside of the GMG...which I guess…

I agree The Act is incredible and I’m curious if a second season is in the works, but you gotta also watch the Mommy Dead & Dearest documentary on HBO if you haven’t seen it yet.

Right? Fuck the incubator, she was probably just a whore anyway.

Women got little to no prenatal care in Utah, and in one house slept on mattresses laid on bare floors in what one shocked adoptive family described as a “baby mill,” according to court documents.

PNW here and last night was the first night cool enough to sleep without the AC on blast; it was glorious. My hiking boots have been removed from the closet and I’m in fleece today.  I miss my flip flops, but they’ll be back come May of 2020.

I try to keep up with the flagging, too, but always wonder if it does any good.

They recently started selling Cock & Bull at our local Safeway.  Not sure if you have Safeway where you are from, but keep your eyes out for it - if you like that spice, you’ll definitely like Cock & Bull.

I’ll keep my eyes out for that one.  We have a Root Beer Store very near our place and they often have brands I’ve never heard of.  Blenheim sounds a little familiar, so it may be one I’ve tried before and passed on because it was “too spicy.”  

Regarding Ginger Beer - have you tried Cock & Bull?  I find it almost spicy and, if you’re going for a Moscow Mule, the zing can’t be beat.  

I’m not entirely sure I ever caught that one, but skimming through a few pics of it, Liz Taylor in that purple scarf/headwrap thing is tickling something in the memory banks!

This used to be on constant rotation on Showtime or HBO in the early 80s (time is fuzzy, may have been mid-80s) and I watched it EVERY SINGLE TIME.

That was glorious!

This is a solid strategy. All his bluff and bluster crumbles into his ugliest most churlish self when he’s triggered by someone laughing at him, as happened in the wackadoo press conference yesterday.

While most photos of Trump make me mildly queasy, the ones where his flop sweat is visible are the worst.  Lunch has been rescheduled to an hour from now, thanks.  

Guess I’m the only big sap here. I saw this and immediately got choked up.

Where’s Cat Food Breath / Kirk Cameron Left Me Behind when we need him?

Being very much “of the 80s” myself, Drew’s very-late 80s-and-really-more-90s look would also be my only quibble with this adorably sweet movie.
