I think the romanticism comes into play because of the relationship between Nicholas and Alexandra, as theirs was not an arranged marriage for dynastic purposes. By all accounts they had a very loving, very sexual relationship, and very Victorian. No one on either side of the aisle thought the marriage was a good…

Check out Robert K. Massie’s Nicholas and Alexandra and The Romanovs: The Final Chapter. Both are very well-written, well-researched but a good read, which you don’t encounter often in historical text, especially anything dealing with Russian history. From a film standpoint, there’s not much but what there is isn’t…

This gives me a sliver of hope. If for no other reason, it’s encourgaing to know that not everyone in this country is a craven idiotic racist. 

Thank you. I love pineapple, just not on pizza.

These are the ones I really want to strangle. Strumpettes will be Trumpettes, but these women don’t understand that not paying attention will cost them. A LOT. There’s a very real possibilty Roe v Wade will be overturned. The wealth gap is decimating the middle and working classes. And that’s not even addressing…

I used to feel the same way, and technically, it’s supposed to be better to just drink water when before/during your flight because the cabin is so dry.

Why the hell is she wearing what looks like a knit suit when it’s 90-something degrees with over 60% humidity? Not that I care that she’s melting, just another example of someone in this goddamn administration not having a bit of common sense.

I’m 44 and I hear ya. I like to think I’m a pretty open-minded individual, and I’m not going to shame anyone for taking nude selfies. It’s a very different world than the one I grew up in, and I’m not sure what I would do if I were a teenager growing up right now.

Newsflash, Ken: you’re descended from a WOP, just like me. And it wasn’t too long ago, people with Anglo last names didn’t want your ancestors or mine in America. In other words, please go fuck yourself.

FWIW check out the following. Joe is the owner of a soft-serve ice cream truck in LA, and got so fed up with “influencers” demanding free soft-serve for themselves and a hundred of their friends in exchange for “exposure” that he decided to do something about it:

Oh dear Lord, you are so, so right...once flew from LA to Vegas and flight was nothing but Speariment Rhino girls flying in for gigs. The outfits were...spectacular? Let’s just say the good doctor’s romper would have looked like a burqa in comparison.

The Zendaya breakdown about sending/receiving dick pics in the third episode was brilliant. It was both depressing and absolutely hysterical.

although it is awesome James Earl Jones is still with is to reprise Mufasa

“this is CNN.”

After bulldozing, I suggest going full scorched earth and then sowing salt into the ground. Just to make sure nothing ever arises there again.

I’m going to have to listen to that podcast, although I know it’s just going to piss me off all over again. Those kids had been through so much and deserved so much better. Especially enraging was that I think 3 of the children had an aunt who was willing to take them in but the powers that be decided the white couple…

Sounds exactly like those women from TX who adopted six African-American children and then proceeded to make their lives a living hell until one of them decided to drive the family van off a cliff. They had absolutely no right fostering/adopting children but got a pass, ‘cuz white. I remember reading later that 3 of…

I can’t help but wonder if this asshat was trying to show his son how “tough” he was. Or he’s just a racist. Probably both.

If you were afraid of your “child’s safety” you wouldn’t have confronted a “trespasser” at all.

I am of the mind that the nicer a state is physically, the more dickish its residents tend to be, in order to hog all that scenery for themselves.
