This may be a bit mercenary of me, but think about it. This could be her college entrance essay. Just give them a DVD of this performance. BOOM! Harvard says yes, and Yale makes a counter offer.

I keep hearing she was ‘overwhelmed by nerves,’ etc. I think it’s more likely that she’s dealing with PTSD- puking is a common symptom especially when reliving the event. It undermines the seriousness of the situation to say she’s just got charming ‘nerves’ or ‘stage fright.’

A big difference is that in the 80's every other car on the road had the same level of roadworthiness as they did. Now almost everyone else on the road has at least abs so they’re going a lot faster and expect you to have the same stopping distance, traction control, etc.

Generally, having any particular “goal” in meditation easily leads to just sitting there ruminating, especially when the goal is clearing your mind. The misunderstanding that the point of meditation is to “clear your mind” needs to be corrected. Rather, the idea is that, after time, you develop a tendency to not…

“’Make them naked’, that’s just creepy, man.”

Ya, see, my wife is an editor/journalist with a Master’s degree, and because each publication she works for eventually gets bought and shut down, or just goes under, she freelances a lot. It’s harder and harder for her to find gigs because 1) other people write for free (but worse), and 2) publications expect people…

Look at these fancy ass appetizers: it’s like, cheese. But melted on slices of baguettes so ya know, class!

I don’t think the conversation itself was fake, but the fact that the producers set Karamo up in the situation of the buddy policy guy pulling them over whilst he was driving was disgusting. It almost turned me off the show itself, but that goddamn adorable Tan keeps pulling me back.

10/10 would still watch the Netflix wedding special if only to see if Antoni caters the reception by just placing 100 avocados on plates and calling it a day  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I will say I love Tom’s Twitter account regardless of his intentions or long game, here. It’s so clear he is an old man who has no intention of actually learning how to use Twitter but still tweets regardless. He’ll tweet like:

SOJohnathan would make a really good matron of honor/best groomsmen. Can he also marry them and get the other queer eye guys all done up and just do the most. That white black swoop shirt thing that the clothes guy Tan does would be great reimagined as a tux and can we get some queer ladies at the wedding please to dj…

Uh, yeah. The idea here is to save energy when you’re not in the room. Bypassing that defeats the purpose, but hey... You do you.

I am astonished at all the people saying they’ve never seen this before.

I’ve noticed they’re more common outside the US. I’ve had them in rooms in Japan, Australia, India, The UK, and Germany.

Disagree on Tony Stark. It’s time for him to die.

No, Killmonger’s plan was to use Wakanda to wage war upon the world in revenge for colonialism, essentially using Wakanda to go neo-colonial on the world.

I’m riding with you on one point - Cap and Civil War.

I generally side with Cap in that the Avengers need to be able to think for themselves, operate independently and be able to cross borders if needed. (And the Accords never answered the basic question of “If I see a mugging while walking down to get scratchers and…

Which is why I think Killmonger worked as a character especially within the context of the MCU. He was something similar to an established “good guy” but taken to a terrible extreme. His redemptive arc at the end of the move was kind of to show how his intent was ultimately good but he was led astray due to his anger…

Yep and Cap was still right. Literally everything they brought up as a fault was either because of something Tony caused or something that Cap did to prevent far more lives being lost.

Captain America is really the most interesting of the Avengers characters. It’s a shame Chris Evans is ready to move on when he’s got a role he’s spent years in and that’s now starting to plumb the depths of some interesting questions about how one remains “good” and a symbol of justice in an unjust universe.
