I’m now referring to Trump’s cabinet as this!

No, I don’t understand that. I think I’m actually on your side in that I’m not a fan of his, or at least, I do think he was a deeply flawed man who took advantage of poor families and molested their sons. I just wanted to defend actions that some normal people with vitiligo have to take and explain that once an…

If only it was as recent as the W years, but it was not.

For real: maybe you got dumped because you think a Kardashian (other than their dead father, the attorney) can solve your life problems?

Same, and to think of the magic they would have created with the past year, especially!

These fucking people... I can’t.

Yeah, this was some serious overreacting by the MJ people (that’s all they ever do?) and they seemed to exaggerate or overstate the case in order to make the point. I think it would have been better if Sky Arts had been British and come out and stated that they weren’t making fun of Jackson, that by 01, his skin tone…

Advanced vitiligo would make most of his skin extremely white with jagged-looking patches of skin that was still darker and honestly, it’s a startling appearance under stage lighting, etc. His burns from the early 80s Pepsi commercial and Lupus would have made his vitiligo more aggressive than most.

Yes, I figured this was what happened and he’d been seething over it even before it was delayed but then, thanks to the delay, he got more outspoken. JetBlue is especially (or maybe not especially so anymore?) strict and guys like him remember when booze was free on any flight, forget that he recalls a time before the…

Hear, hear!

Who’s suffering?

I would be surprised if most of his staff didn’t have to Google it. They generally wouldn’t be up on such references, not that it’s old or irrelevant, but for that group: youngish republicans, they would have no idea. If they “know” jazz, they think Frank Sinatra was the guy.

Thank you for the validation!

I loved it there, too!

I’m so relieved to hear people discuss humidity with some sanity: living in the northeast, “ humidity” takes on a whole new meaning or definition. When natives here talk about humidity, they are talking about steam rooms everywhere else! It ultimately will be why I move: I’m one of those rare people who feels more…

And when I finally make it to the coffee shop with the good coffee made by transsexual baristas from fair trade beans to fuel my continually acerbic soul — who else is there in the goddamn coffee shop?! Other people. This is my one gripe against living near a good coffee when it isn’t always practical to make it…

Well, that is true, people don’t refer to either as that.

But Ca actually addresses it, whereas NYC and Ma have not managed to (although Ma’s groundbreaking healthcare coverage law did even out some of the other major inequities, Ma. does have that). When the state legislature’s majority acknowledges an issue, that means it’s important to the constituency and therefore in…

“Obscene “ is the perfect word. I *thought* the worst was circa 90-93, in NYC, because there was some media attention and I was young ☹️, but I’ve only seen it get worse over the years. Plus, sorta like drug activity (and I’m not equating the two) I have noticed that my less observant or streetsmart friends don’t see…

Same here — ideal to me is weather when I can wear sweaters, boots, cozy tights, etc. and I’m fine if I have to bundle up in my down coat.
