Aaahhhhh I’m glad I’m not alone in wondering what kind of genius engineering it took to shorten a shirt slightly. Good god is that all I needed to do to raise millions in capital???

Everything feels so uncertain and dismal that I’m tempted to stumble down the fatalistic path of doom. But, I kinda sorta still believe in this country. I believe that Doris Kearns Goodwin will write her magnum opus about this yolky buffoon and it will be the greatest piece of historical writing since Commentarii de…

Oh that makes sense. I should read the book before I start making judgments, but on the other hand, as a piece of television, it should stand on its own. Literary adaptations are tricky endeavours.

On the class topic, I thought the most unrealistic part of the narrative was that Jame was accepted with open arms by the wealthy ladies. Maybe it’s considered chic or something to have poor friends? Like ripped $300 jeans?

Ohhhh ok I assumed she was from a previous relationship. Whoops. That is weird.

I was wondering what this show would do to his career because I seriously hate him now. Great acting but that character...

I’m pretty happy about a show that starts out saying women are just big bitches to each other and then it ends like women are a village and they’re the only ones they can really trust. Like holy shit mind blown I love all you ladies out there I’d kill your abusive husband and help raise your kids.

Yeah they tried to hint at it when her daughter freaked out when everyone was yelling.

I’m SO good at disappointing people who believe in my potential. Let me on! Let me on!

First of all, f$@& you. Second of all, I was a sad chain restaurant waitress at the height of that song, struggling to figure out what to do with myself after high school/before college. Despite these facts, the song’s message failed to inspire me to fly away, but I did get fired. Glad she had enough of a hit to get…

And the new Brittany and the new Michelle and the new Taylor prob.

Oh my god you showed up! I was waiting for you! Also, my comment was a joke. :)

Pre-20th century we’d all be bathing once a week, maybe, in shared family bath water and/or the pond. I’m sure the bulk of disease back then was spread by leg-to-leg and sneeze-to-leg contact. Sad!

It sure is. I’ve only had success as a remote friend, having formed friendships with other remote employees. It’s not like we go out for sushi on Thursday night, but maybe that’s why it works! Out of state, no bullshit. I’m an introvert anyway so less face time is a good thing. I guess this is a major extrovert gripe…

Oh me too. All I can say is that Obama seemed so very relaxed about leaving...I think he knows all the things we will soon know... and hopefully it doesn’t result in chaos, but does result in criminals in the trump admin being removed and charged. I can’t imagine he would forsake us when we really needed him. But I…

Agreed. I’d say it was an abundance of caution under the assumption Hillary would win.

Soooo, I kind of get this impression: the Obama White House was so worried about appearing to do anything untoward or unprofessional (because black tax), that they opted for super conservative (in)action on this, believing in the polls that Hillary would win anyway. I’m sure it’s a gamble they regret. But really,…

I’m sad to see that rights are only a matter of the will of those in power to enforce them. See: independent investigations, the DOJ...

So we have a right to private conversations but not a right to private health care decisions, huh, right wingers?

Oh man. I’m sorry, it feels impossible sometimes. All the time. She’s left him several times and has kept a room in a rental house the whole time as an escape. Each time she says I’m done and I believe her. Each time she kind of drops off the radar after a day or two and I know that means she went back. When it’s bad,…
