The funny thing is, the singles released so far are easily the weakest songs from the album. “Delicate” is fantastic, “Dress” is nice and sexy, “This is Why we Can’t Have Nice Things” is a bouncier, more fun version of LWYMMD, “Getaway Car” has a nice driving (har) rhythm, and “I Did Something Bad” is a much better…

It bothers me that I don’t hate this, because I feel like she watched the videos for ‘Weapon of Choice’ and ‘Chandelier’ and was like, “Yeah, just put those together.” And this would be improved tenfold if it were Christopher Walken or Maddie Ziegler dancing it.

There is no doubt that being Taylor Swift-level famous sucks in ways that we plebes can’t really empathize with. This video is small and sweet, though the “yay I am famous again” smile at the end was kind of a let down. Still, it was way better than her recent attempts at being artsy-meta.

Yeah they’re not really an “ancestry” test last time I checked but a comparison to places where your genome is similar to others.

seriously I can find out what my ethnicity is just by reading a history of the places my ancestors lived and that will tell me enough. Now not everyone knows that stuff but still these tests are such a crapshoot.

Not to say that Elizabeth Warren has any native heritage to find, but I’m surprised so many people seem to have so much faith in these DNA tests. People treat the most like they’re solid science, but they’re barely more trustworthy than your horoscope. You can get different results depending on which company you…

“But they look white” is the weakest argument I’ve heard against an indigenous person’s heritage. Good lord.

Great but the real discussion here should be Donny’s racist language.

The President of the United States is regularly using a racial slur. The should be Chuck Todd’s subject.

Oprah seems kind of clueless with this escapade.

It’s degrading. Housekeeping staff are already working hard to earn a paycheck. Making them go on a treasure hunt for tips may seem “fun” to the giver but is really kinda cruel and clueless. “Oh, you’ve cleaned 20 filthy rooms and have 20+ more to go, can you find all of the tips I’ve hidden, whee!”

Exactly. The whole “tip treasure hunt” thing just stinks of “sing for your supper, peasant.” Marie Antoinette’s like, “Damn! Wish I’d thought of that.”

People, Oprah running for president is NOT a good idea. NOT. Like, at all. Oprah is a very smart, very kind person, and those are great leadership qualities- but that’s not all that’s required of a president. I have no reason to think that Oprah can create and push through an infrastructure bill. Or oversee the…

And every time time she picks up a thing, there’s another. And there’s another. And there’s another. So I did that. I did it all over the room. I put it under the desk. I put it in the bathroom. I put it in the roll of toilet paper. I put it in the shower. I put it underneath the rug. Imagine how happy that person was!

Caitlyn Jenner now believes that Trump has set back transgender rights 20 years.

I am a grown-ass adult and I still work like this. In fact, I’m procrastinating from some work right now. Troll under a bridge always feels like my next career move. Back when I was in school you couldn’t turn stuff in at midnight because you had to hand it in on paper—probably just as well or I’d have been typing…

I just watched it last night too and thought it was a really poor combination of interviewer and interviewee. For what it’s worth, I think Obama and Clooney both have pretty good senses of humor, so Letterman could play off them and with them pretty well. He tried to make a similar connection with Yousafzai and it…

All I know is Michael Cera = Jared

Seconding the request to post SNS earlier. Once again too late for me, and I’m off to bed. Have a great evening, everyone- I look forward to skimming through the comments in the morning!

Weird fact: every President since WWII with the exception of Eisenhower has been a father of daughters. So have the overwhelming majority of the Vice Presidents and the losing presidential candidate* of either of the major parties. That clearly doesn’t mean that most of these presidents were great for women, but I’ve…
