I’m a sole proprietor, and according to my CPA, I can’t. My colleagues were told the same thing. It may be KS, and not federal law. 

I’m not equating this with babies in cages, but I lost 35% of my small business deductions, while corporations got millions in breaks. My biz is in KS, so I got screwed on state and federal. Most of the cuts are expenses I need keep my doors open—-continuing education, professional and business licenses, etc.

I worked briefly for an older musician who told me not to ask him any questions about my favorite musicians, because most of them were dicks, and I’d be disappointed. Then he said, “Except Alice Cooper, he’s just the greatest guy and no one has a bad word to say about him.”

Making fun of Trump’s dick after he publicly bragged about being huge, is much different than junk- shaming normal guys. I don’t think any of us thought you were being malicious. Except to Trump, and he deserves it.

Now I’m devastated that we can’t see   Retta taking on spoiled Monterey housewives!

Also, I think younger people like Lena may not understand the kind of ground Denzel and Will broke. I can remember what a huge deal it was to see them playing characters that weren’t specifically created to be played by black men. And it’s really not fair to compare them to Spike Lee, who (with the exception of…

I believe Will Smith helped produce “The Secret Life of Bees” and a couple other majority-black projects. I think he & Jada also created a foundation for young writers and performers. It’s super weird to call out guys who have literally given millions to charity over 2 decades. 

I was working on a project for a few weeks in Burns, KS in the early 90s, which is a genuinely awful place. My boss and I were refused service in a couple places for “looking like Lesbians.” I went to a diner to get a club sandwich after a particularly hard day. I was served a refrigerated, un toasted hamburger bun, 2…

Yes, I actually wish there was a ‘behind the scenes’ show that just highlighted the process. Also I would watch the shit out of a Bobby home show. His stuff manages to actually be functional and sensible in addition to just looking good.

Yes, it was the Mayan one! Also, I forgot the funniest part, someone hung calendar in their window 

I used to live around the corner from the Frank Lloyd Wright house on Frankilin in LA, and when a period movie ( I think it was The Aviator) was shooting there, they were super rude and shitty to residents. They sent a super aggressive note commanding all the resident of the apartments across the stress to keep their…

I nominate Christopher Meloni and Christopher Guest (emeritus)

You were totally justified! 

That’s so adorable 

OMG, having someone organize my cabinets and fridge every week sounds amazing! It weirdly never occurred to me that I could hire someone to do that. 

Every time there’s a Keanu post, I come to the comments hoping for stories about commenters meeting him!

My parents have been married for over 50 years, they share a bedroom but have separate “offices” where they can do their own hobbies, and my mom can watch all the shows my dad hates.

That is fucking delightful

Matchstick Men is fantastic 

I unapologetically love Nic Cage, and he was fantastic in Valley Girl, Birdy, Red Rock West and Raising Arizona, and God help me, I Will watch the shit out of Face Off and National Treasure every time I come across them.
