I’m reminded of a KS state legistlator’s son who was decapitated on Verrückt- the world’s tallest waterslide. The slide was built in KS specifically because the state legislature had reduced safety and testing requirements. The Waterpark had a family day for reps and their families, and the result was irony in its…

My guess is she wants to take credit for the trade that was likely already going to happen and ride the fame train to selling her body on an even grander scale (and/or pick up a nice NBA boyfriend and transition into the influencer realm). As you said, the guy isn’t exactly a pinnacle of reliability. He's explosive,…

The Pelicans were having talks about trading him WAY before this dropped. The guy’s only clocked 114 games- only 37% of what he could have played. He’s either injured, out of shape or both constantly and NOLA has questioned if he was worth that 100 mil price tag more than once. They also REALLY want a better 1st…

Jon executes a child for treason and murders his aunt/ lover (a frequent victim of sexual assault) in a moment of intimacy. Sansa feeds her husband to his dogs. Arya butchers an entire family, bakes them into pies and feeds them to their father. Stannis burns his daughter alive. Jaime SAs his sister next to their dead…

Disney has done this for decades at 50s Prime Time as well, though they allow you to tell the host if you don’t want to play along so the staff leaves you alone.

Thank GOD someone finally gave ::checks notes:: Serena Williams, Mariah Carey, Mindy Kaling and Paris Hilton a forum to talk about themselves- truly they are the silenced minority. Maybe Serena can talk about tennis and racism and her sister because I don’t think she’s ever done that before! Revolutionary content,…

Clinton was being KIND: It's way more than half of them.

That's because it IS victim blaming, sweaty. "Why didn't she scream?" "Why didn't she fight and scratch?" That’s the same as saying "why did she wear those clothes" or "Why did she have a drink before that meet and greet" and you know it.

Agreed. The team I lead deals in CX, so we’re always researching plain English/ readability and how that intersects with inclusive language. Your goal is to communicate your point while ensuring that your audience is included, but not distracted by jargon.

Open letter to Jezebel for yet again failing to deep dive:

They weren’t- they specifically called out the industry and technology, and well yes, the US actually DOES have the best medical care in the world and operates a robust, profitable industry full of personal choice in treatment. And yes, I have spent a significant portion of my career engaging with professionals that…

The only true “both sides-ism” is complete and utter ignorance of Civics 101.

I loved all of the original voice cast- especially with cute asides like the fact Yuri Lowenthal (M Protag) and Tara Platt (Mitsuru/ Elizabeth) have been married for 20 something years. Or that the OG voice cast has done all supplemental appearances in promo materials, rhythm games, etc.

Ha! First time I visited Springfield at Universal I was able to snag the last Bort keychain from the Kwik E Mart- they DO have license plates now.

All of Mar a Lago is like that (was there once over a decade ago for someone’s wedding, and NO my date absolutely did not tell me where we were going until he picked me up from the airport). It’s extremely gaudy and a lot of the carpeting and drapery is pretty poorly maintained.

Toothsome and “Metal Man” as we call him, are great stops, but Universal in general suffers for dining in a way Disney doesn’t. Toothsome is always jammed, it’s always very large parties (10+) and service is SLOW- especially for the quality of the food. If you have park tickets, Mythos in Islands of Adventure is far…

Based om the hibachi description, my guess is that girlfriend doesn’t know that you REMOVE THE TAIL before eating shrimp.

This. I’m genuinely curious, and not in a “asking so I can sealion” way, but a “I don’t understand” way. If a hallmark of gender dysphoria is the contrast between assigned gender and biological sex to the point where physical transition and acceptance as one’s identified gender is the ONLY medically proven way to…

What I meant was that Van was written off as dead in the original outline- the wolves actually DID kill her, and that’s why she wasn’t workshopped as an adult into the initial story outline. The showrunners liked the younger actress so much that they rewrote the plot to keep her alive, which bled into the present day…
