That’s a thing? Those are hideous.

It’s not the sex they’re paying for, it’s the keeping it out of the papers after.

*shrug* I don’t see that many movies, I don’t know who’s being “oppressed” and who isn’t.

I think it’s hookers.

Sorry! It’s just every time I see “that female” etc. referring to a woman my stomach flips a few times and a red veil of rage descends, before I can even figure out if it’s sarcastic or not.

Yeah, I figured it out way later. It was too close to the real thing!

I can’t even reply to that original comment because I’m so skeeved by “the female who did Selma”. All the other directors get name checked but they can’t even google Ava DuVernay?

In front of kids too! Whenever someone brings their kids into the pub on match day there’s always that one person who has to bring up having to behave now, met by a chorus of “oh fuck off, they’ve got to learn sometime!”

I liked his work before he took the role and it was actually what got me to start watching (though Tennant became “my” doctor), but I don’t take offense to his reluctance to get involved in anything Who-related in a bad way at all. According to my friend he was very nice on set, and showed interest in coming out to…

These hold such a ridiculous amount that I only ever fill them 1/4 of the way at a time. My cat destroyed half of my old wine glasses in one go so I bought these as a replacement. Shatterproof!

Do you know any British people? Swearing is the default setting.

Sofia Richie can do better. THERE I SAID IT. Love yourself, girl! Run from that hot ass mess manchild. RUN.

A friend of mine did stand-in work on a tv show over here and worked with Chris Eccleston quite a lot. According to her, he was an absolute joy to work with. This made me ridiculously happy as a huge Whovian nerd.

WHO???? has on a dirndl, not lederhosen. A really shitty Halloween costume one, too.

The ridiculous thing about this is that liberal arts people are much more adaptable but no one values that anymore so we get increasingly pigeonholed into low-paying bullshit admin jobs, simply because middle management doesn’t have the slightest clue what the fuck to do with any of us.

I did hear about the shot put winner, but only because she came from my university (UT). They make a big deal out of the Olympics because their swimmers tend to clean up at them. Five of the six golds won so far by alumni have been in swimming.

I noticed but didn’t hold it against her. She had a right to be. She still showed up in the stands, she still clapped for her teammates, but it had to suck having to see a bunch of gymnasts whose scores weren’t nearly as good as hers getting to compete in the final while she didn’t.

There’s actually the tiniest bit of truth in what she said there (but the skin painting comment was pure racist bullshit). Over the years the scoring system has come to weigh difficult acrobatic moves more heavily than artistic interpretation, and it’s been said that the Americans - particularly coach Marta Karolyi -…

There’s also a pretty amazing photo floating around somewhere on the internet of her making an appearance on Russian television. She’s seated next to Putin, and the still makes it look as if she’s giving him some serious side eye.

Awwww. I’m sorry. :(
