You’re right of course. Was just reading a tweet thread dealing (more or less) with the same topic:

I’m nearly your age and currently happily alone - like, my parents keep remarking I seem happier than I ever have; and I think, that’s because I don’t have some dude screwing my life up. I’ve been married, several times. Never for as good a reason as it seemed at the time (which includes pregnancy); never for long.…

I’m not complaining, and given my taste in film, unlikely to run into a sell-out situation where reservations might’ve gotten me in. I was just surprised to hear that people still go to the movies in anything like those kind of numbers.

In other words, all the people 45 gives absolutely zero figs about and would happily trundle off to the death camps given the slightest chance.

My guess is she failed to perform masculinity to their satisfaction :-/

Agreed, however: other reports list the artwork as damaged; this is the only article I’ve seen saying it was destroyed. Wouldn’t be the first time Jezzie headlines exaggerate.

Where are you people going to see movies that a showing actually *sells out* - ?! Granted I almost never go to mainstream cinema, but its well over ten years since I last saw a truly packed house. Its been my understanding that this is a symptom of dvds/cable/netflix killing traditional movie houses. Am I wrong?

You maybe only hear about w elderly folk, but it happens all the time. My work manages a property that rang up $1600 in water & sewer because they ignored a constantly running toilet for two months.

I ran across a vaguely similar error one place I worked: someone attempted to import a bank feed into QuickBooks, but missed a field when setting it up.. with the result that each entry treated the previous balance as a deduction. That threw the books off by roughly three million dollars, and no one could figure out…

Ew. No. That shit is disgusting; its only use is as binder in tuna/chicken salad, and even that’s questionable.

Pleased to say I have not only never heard any of these songs, I’ve not even heard of all these artists. And I doubt i could distinguish a Miley from a Katy from Taylor; they’re all so many Beckys to me.

Ok no. Like any social media, Twitter reflects who you are & - even more - who you follow. If you follow nothing but celeb accounts, lifestyle commentors etc, then it might be vapid and bitchy, I don’t know. But if you take time to check the pages of people you follow, find interesting thinkers, then there is no…

It might be starting to leak into this one: apparently no less than Sean Hannity referred to a ‘President Clinton’ on the air tonight.

In January, I agreed that president Pence - it gags me to even type that - would be if anything, worse. Now? Now I think that the imposter in the oval office is a deranged, senile old man who poses a clear and present danger to the entire country, for starters. But if we’re fortunate enough that he gets removed from…

Not making anything this weekend, as I’m sitting at a cool, overcast festival in MD trying to sell previous creations. But these are my most recent items. Not thrilled w the floppiness of the blue hat but overall pretty pleased. Now if someone would just buy one..

Thanks to Jezebel, I can now continue to ignore all the clickbait promising to reveal the *real* reason Joanna left!

I too am (apparently) female and a big sci-fi fan who really has no interest in this. Reason one - and this is heresy in some quarters - I don’t think the first is all that great. Worth watching once, but then, meh. Reason two - “sick action sequences”. Gawd please no. Nothing brings a film to a grinding halt imo than…

What this really shows - and I’m surprised no one has mentioned it - is that men in positions of wealth and power believe that sexual access to women is their due. A perk of the job, a reward for reaching the pinnacle. And party affiliation has nothing to do with it.

Yes.

WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE ALL THE STARS
