“Jason Mendoza didn’t have an easy life. He once told me the closest he’d ever gotten to having a piñata on his birthday was when a seagull ate too many condoms on the beach and exploded.”

And some credit for Donny Osmand as well.  Like him or not, he’s got some definite ability, and he’s definitely a showman.  

In fairness, the first season they had Gladys Fucking Knight on there, which... respect is due, is all I’m saying. I think the rule seems to be that the older the singer is under the mask, the more likely it is that they’re a legit legend trying to show that they’ve still got the chops.

My favorite part of this show (and, I admit,Ii have only watched one episode) is that the judges seem to aim just a *tad* high when trying to guess the identity of the singer. “I just KNOW the unicorn is Beyonce!” No, dear, the unicorn is Tori Spelling or the redhead guy from Chicago Med.

Agreed. It’s way too early. But what happened to just bitching about neighbors behind their backs and moving on with your damn life? Who felt it necessary to get neighborhood officials involved? 

Weird, I had absolutely no problems doing any of this on launch day. I waited until 6pm Pacific time but I was able to: sign up, install the Roku app, change my password, create multiple profiles, edit those profiles, find and add content to a watchlist, and watch things without any problems. I don’t have particularly…

This is like television cheezits, so not good for me but I just can’t stop myself.

I have no idea how a creep like Robin Thicke and Thyphoid Jenny McCarthy are on TV right now. They’re both has-beens to begin with, never mind their problematic histories with dating and vaccination. (I mean, Jenny McCarthy IS the face of the anti-vaxx movement).

It was a South Korean show first and their costumes are even more bonkers (Bob Ross was one).

It is technically a talent competition where the studio audience and judges vote for their favorites and the winner wins... something.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and Sens. Sanders, Warren and Gillibrand have recently (within the last year) endorsed the idea of re-introducing postal banking. I don’t think a resolution was ever introduced, however. It still allows those who don’t trust banks, or the government in this case, to slip through the cracks and go…

I feel like there’s a disconnect with a lot of these articles, the general theme is that “we need to stop doing this because low-income groups have less access to cards and are discriminated against” when really it should just be “lets fix the issue with low income groups having less access to cards so they aren’t…

Well, “hot chicken” is really imprecise. I wouldn’t know you’re not just referring to like Popeye’s spicy variety.

Oh the FRANZEN thing! I can talk about serious author douchebaggery all day.

Exactly. They should just pull all of Nick’s old catalog and then some new content for adults. I’d be willing to keep Netflix for some old Doug or All That. 

I think I read total, like 2.5 books of hers in both the Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices series as a teen. Eventually I just Could Not with the faux-incest plot and went ‘okay no more of this’.

I thought the point of the Common Read program was that it isn’t just for English majors, so the snootiness about it seems particularly counterproductive to me.

I also don’t really care that Brooke Nelson doesn’t like Sarah Dessen, but why do all our thoughts like that have to be shared? What was the point of telling the journalist that? What was the point of including it in the article, if not to belittle Dessen and the books teen girls like? I certainly don’t want people to…

Ooh, a romance novel would be great too! I always think more people would read those if they could get over the stigma and give them a chance. I read paranormal ones a lot over my vacations, and nothing is more fun or relaxing for me than just getting swept up in them.

Baba! How have you been? I think of you often. We don’t see enough of you around these parts

She literally says “They’re fine for teen girls.” Which is the part everyone who’s objecting to it is objecting to, because she’s telling on herself there. It’s fine if you don’t read it that way, but I do.
