It was amazing television- the full eps are up on youtube — “Trading Spouses God Warrior”

I heard some talk this morning on the radio about how the “scenes” she’s having filmed with Hiddleston are part of some master work like Lemonade. Apparently they correspond shot for shot with... something. The hosts went to commercial and I had to go into work. But somebody out there apparently has mapped out what…

It’s NEVER just the tip.

Me too! I was drafted — the two baritone horn players graduated and there was nobody else for the next three years, so my friend and I from the choral side of things spent non-marching bandcamp time in a laundry room by ourselves writing out the fingerings on the sheet music and trying to generate musical sounds. Did…

Is it too much to hope that Gretchen recorded the final encounter with Ailes and is just holding on, letting everybody at Fox get on the record as believing her or attacking her, only to eventually produce iron-clad evidence forcing them to admit they were wrong? Not that they would, mind you, but something…

The musical genius rhymed “started” with “apartment.”

So... she believes in Xenu, but not her coworker(s).

She said in an interview that she resigned herself to constant bodyguards because of all the letters from men describing in detail their plans for keeping her in their basement.

Noooooooo! So close, so close to comfort!

Wow. Don’t really know the others, but Carrell and Timberlake actually shock me.

His face always looks like that, though. Completely blank.

I remember when I was in college in the early 80s, she was our local news gal in Hartford. She always had that warm but serious vibe. Years later, she pops up as Oprah’s best friend and I think “It’s Gayle King-Bumpus!” Glad she dropped the Bumpus (in both senses of the word).

You are correct — but I suppose he feels safe enough because not much rhymes with “massage parlor” and she’s too Taylor Swift to go with “rub and tug.”

That’s a carry over from the glory days of alt.showbiz.gossip, a time when Alec and William were referred to as the “greater Baldwins.”

Sometimes they do it to protect what’s really going on - giving a story they want to give enables them to move more privately at other times. For all the hoopla about TS’s love affairs, she’s not out at clubs, or movie openings, or at concerts unless one of her actual friends/boyfriends is performing (and even then…

I like to think I’d live and love extravagantly, but I’d probably just eat. And maybe try hallucinogens. Though that could conceivably not be the best idea shortly after learning the end really is nigh.

He has to have lost a bet.

I guess I’m interested in how a regular Joe who “only” mishandled a “few” pieces of highly classified information would be/has been treated. Is the standard “oh, you got a job in private industry before we noticed, no problem?”

I’m really troubled by this, because the take away is apparently that being enormously reckless with highly classified information isn’t actionable. I know, he spoke of non-criminal consequences, but at a minimum you’d expect such a person to have their security clearance demoted... and how can you do that to a…

Fun fact — when Vivien Leigh couldn’t summon a remotely believable retching sound for the turnip eating/fist shaking scene, Olivia stepped up and so that’s her we hear.
