Fair! hah I’m in coastal Virginia now and have to admit I’m getting pretty impatient for fall.

I’m not arguing that there isn’t racism in PA (clearly), but it’s a swing state for a reason. My town, for instance, wasn’t incredibly diverse but we’re about 50/50 on rednecks and environmentalists. At least in the southern half, farmland (which includes old-time republicans and solar energy loving dems alike) is…

Came down here to put my vote in for Lorde. There isn’t a song on the newest album I don’t love, but most importantly I think she knows not to take the fame monster too seriously. Her introspection and level-headedness should keep her set for as long as she wants to keep making art. Or she’ll age into Bjork, which I’m…

The non-consensual addition of a lover is the most fucked-up advice you could possibly offer. It’s completely disrespectful and cruel to her partner (of SEVEN years!).

How is he touching antique letters and silver without gloves aughhhhh

Boo! I love the terrifying, pointy, first-gen Salem!

For anyone disappointed by the lack of literal dog microwaving:

The models walk like you do at the end of a long party, when you finally take your heels off and forget what it’s like to walk with flat feet for a minute.

Leslie’s been on some sort of a fitness quest, and Pete went to rehab and from the sound of it, has been doing fantastically (plus he’s dating Larry David’s daughter).

I get that “Antifa” is catchier and easier to say, but something tells me it would be a lot harder to justify trashing them if they had kept fascism in the name. “Antifa” makes them a character, not a cause.

Maybe because it was a token gay scene? I guess it should be counted, but the way it was shot/presented was still the usual “hot girls make out to ...advance the plot?” thing, and felt more exploitative than inclusive.

I LOVE how long OiTNB’s intro is. It’s the only show I binge in one go, and the intro is integral to my bathroom/snack break rotation.

Side consideration(s): Gonna bet cash money that Google bros aren’t going to make these SNAP/WIC accessible. But I guess that only matters up until SNAP/WIC recipients are driven out of town.

Re: the logo

Huge consideration with the statistics - most public high schools offer (if not require?) Tdap vaccines and the HPV vaccine was still getting some sketch press when I was in the window (100% pro-vaccine, but this one did have some trouble).

Take a star, damnit

That’s why you hide it on your lower back, where you never have to look at it.

In this case, they’re only talking about the “bonding time” leave, which should be on a level playing field. As mentioned, they have a separate recovery/medical leave for the person actually having a human exit them, who definitely deserves that.

I guess a straight translation to modern Heathers would be basic white girls?

All I can think is how difficult it will make things for non-social media savvy parents who just want to surprise their kids with tickets. :(
