Some people just don’t know how to act in public. We attended our daughter’s band banquet. It was a buffet. One of the parents at our table finished eating, got another chicken leg and cut it into pieces, then asked the server for foil so she could take it home for her dog.

Smollett’s shenanigans aside, this has also been a bad and very weird show that is finally being put out of its misery. Terrence Howard has to find something else to distract him from Don Cheadle raking in all the glory and money from his War Machine spot. 

I think the problem with the final series of GoT is that they’re trying to tell a 22 episode story in 8 episodes...

Yey, this review telling him ‘to take one for the team’ is pretty gross. Sure, Danny was born and raised a Targ and has no problem with the incest angle, but Jon, who was raised a northerner, obviously has a BIG problem with it. Unfortunately, he’s not doing anything to express/explain the reason for his newfound rest…

Exactly.

You did not mind boning when she was handing over all her goddamn dragonglass for free, how bout that!!!

I dunno. I took Danaerys’ snapping to mean “Shit, they rang the fucking bells. They rang the bells! They took away my pretext!” I think she wanted to burn this shit to the ground from the get go and blamed Cersei for chickening out and depriving her (Dany) of the ass-beating she (Cersei, at Dany’s hands) deserved. I…

...And Betty White gets another quickening.

The bells didn’t make her go crazy. It alerted her to a choice:

Thank you so much. This has been so clearly Dany’s arc since early on. She was ready in Season 1 to take King’s Landing with the Dothraki horde and she’s seen first-hand what happens when Dothraki attack a city, and her only contribution is “don’t rape so much.” Her insistence on reminding everyone how big her army…

It seems I’m one of the only people who still likes this show now, because apparently the idea that a show whose only long-running theme that rulership by birth is destructive at best and when led by ill rulers is horrifying in totality, ending with yet another ill-ruler with a longstanding history of…

For all this “This isnt the Dany i wanted” crowd:

Funding, and thus enabling, someone else’s economic activity means I very much had a part in the creation of that value.

here’s a little more context from ESPN magazine:

I just spent a week drinking my way through Italy and you cannot escape the Aperol spritz. It’s literally everywhere at all times of the day or night. And it’s fine. I wouldn’t go out of my way and say it’s delicious, but for sitting at a sidewalk table at a cafe, watching people go by? It’s perfect. The best one I…

Royal decree by Queen Elizabeth means Meghan became nee Markle and HRH Meghan Mountbatten Windsor Duchess of Sussex.

Imagine if you worked at a place you really liked, was stable, and was doing something that was self gratifying.

Workers can only individually negotiate for better wages and working conditions if those workers’ skills aren’t fungible. As an individual flight attendant, the only leverage you have over your employer is that if you leave they’d have to find and train somebody to replace you — which is not an especially high bar.
