Yup. That’s pretty much the right look. And if you put Darcy’s personality in Tom Hiddleston’s body, that would be a massive “oh hell yes I would” combination in my book (since Hiddleston himself was near the top of my “hell yes” celeb list before the whole Taylor Swift nonsense moved him to the “ugh, okay, yes, I…

He’s an entertainer who decided to dedicate his career to educating people about science in a country where a distressingly large number of people lack basic scientific literacy. Sounds pretty admirable to me.

If you still think relationships and hook-ups are things one “deserves” and have had to spend a decade “trying” to be a feminist, then I think I’ve found your problem.

It doesn’t really seem to be used anywhere the way Trump uses it, at least according to some professional linguists:

You’ve most likely already thought of this, but just in case you haven’t: could you maybe get her parents on a Skype/video call and then hold up your phone so that they can see her graduate and cheer for her live as it happens, and she can at least know they are watching and cheering even if she can’t exactly see them…

Yes. I have literally been instructed by my therapist to do so as much as possible. Normally I’m a news junkie, but I’m a news junkie who’s also, among other things, both living with serious chronic (and thus preexisting) physical illnesses that require expensive medical treatment and PTSD as a result of rape and…

Jesus Christ. I hadn’t read the whole thing until now, and it’s just...how do you even parody that?

This. I do think eight hours was probably too long, but I would have watched eight hours of The Hobbit if we’d been given eight hours of The Hobbit instead of eight hours of pointless non-canonical action sequences loosely connected by bizarrely rushed versions of actual scenes from The Hobbit.

Note: someone in another thread mistakenly said that DeVos has been confirmed. She has NOT been confirmed, but has just made it out of committee (in which every single Democrat voted against her, so there’s that). If it is at all possible for people to bump this comment up (or anyone else’s saying the same thing),…

This comment needs to be bumped up higher. DeVos has NOT been confirmed, and it is incredibly important that people know that and keep contacting their Senators incessantly to demand that she not be confirmed.

If you go through the page history, it’s rather delightful to see that nearly all of the recent revisions consist of someone adding Paul Ryan to the list, it getting reverted, someone else adding Paul Ryan to the list, it getting reverted, etc. Wikipedia tried locking the page down due to “persistent vandalism,” which…

Well, I think the last one on their list could qualify - if you flew in to see a dying relative and being delayed at the airport turned out to be the reason you got to the hospital too late to say goodbye, that’d be pretty awful, and I’d have a lot of sympathy for someone in that situation.

I lose it on “you can’t push the wind!” accompanied by his cheerful little dance. So perfect. I hope they find some excuse to make the wind reappear for a cameo or something in a future episode.

I’m with you aside from this bit:

I loved the Santa Ana winds song so much. I’ve been singing it to myself constantly ever since it aired.

It’s also a really weird complaint in general. I don’t know about everyone else, but I do a lot better at dealing with Trump-related terror if I try NOT to think about it 24/7/365. Two minutes of letting myself enjoy a silly video doesn’t make me care about the horrors less, but it DOES help me find the energy to…

That one was great, but honestly, I can’t stop singing the Santa Ana winds song. The guy they cast to play the wind was absolutely perfect. “When I blow, there’s magic in the air, and a higher risk of suicide!” is one of my favorite lyrics of the year (although “I won’t be back to normal till I see what your nipples…

I need Annalise Basso’s dress to appear in my closet immediately.

I had no idea until just now, either, so you’re not alone!

Given that I can’t see anything on their website offhand that requires you to give the roach the exact name of the person in question, I kinda hope people go beyond this and start naming roaches things like “Donald Tiny-Mandibles Trump” or “Donald Pee-Pee-Party-Enthusiast Trump” or Donald…
