I thought "isn't she way too young for him?" and I went to look up the age difference, and almost choked when I realized that Chloe is fucking FORTY, Kids was 20 years ago, time actually passes and I am ancient.

I agree with all of what you said, and I'm so grateful that attitudes are changing. And whether or not they realize it, a resident of any decent sized city is very likely to have met a trans individual.

I've worked in LGBT law my whole career and was fairly well-versed with trans issues before Jenner announced her transition. My mom was not, but she was a Bruce fan from the Olympics days, so this story has interested her a lot. We watched the Diane Sawyer interview and found it fantastic, so we decided to watch the…

I know you're cracking a joke, but Laura Kightlinger had a 2 season series on IFC called "The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman," which I really enjoyed. Any fan of LK's who hasn't seen it should check it out.

I enjoyed it when it started but the quality of panelists has definitely started to diminish, and the panel makeup plays a HUGE role in whether there is useful and learned discussion coming out about the topic du jour.

Why is that depressing? Pragmatism is the ONLY intelligent way to vote - to ally oneself with any party based solely on that party's history makes no sense, precisely because parties shift over time. The Democrats of today look nothing like the Democrats of the Jim Crow era, just like the Republicans of today look…

He KILLED on Whose Line. Even the actual cast was impressed, I've no doubt he'll be invited back.

"second alto"
"Joyce Carol Notes"
"Take Back Take Back the Night"

Dude, "she was a salty old broad" is what I want as my epitaph, so it sounds like your grandma would be my heroine.

I had never noticed the emoji until I started watching Wilmore's show, but honestly since it looks handwritten, in red, with a double underline, it suggested to me how a teacher would write your perfect score on a test.

Steuben Heights, I believe?

Wow, the end of an era - Don Francisco is a straight up legend round these parts. I was 9 when the show moved to Miami (where I'm from). In a roundabout way, it's the reason I turned into an adult who visits sites like the AVClub

Aw, you just broke my heart a little. I didn't know that. As a kid, Dave's adoption advocacy work was what got me interested in adoption issues, and now as an adult I work for a lawyer who specializes in LGBT law and adoptions.

I've never seen any of his other work, so I don't have a baseline for comparison, but that's kind of how I felt watching Going Clear. But then I realized that my habit of delving into internet k-holes isn't the norm. Most of my friends who had no Co$ knowledge had their minds blown.

Ouch, that is accurate.

Of the existing cast, even without taking extenuating circumstances (such as non-TDS projects, potential disaster of pitting spouses against each other for a job, or relative newness to TDS) into account, he was still my #2 choice after Jessica. I think of the whole cast, only those two have a distinctive perspective…

What about Dr Drake Ramoray?

Shows have to be good to stay on the air, but why does a show's failure hinge on the ethnicity of its leads ONLY when those leads are non-white? No one says other shows tanked because the white audience failed to come out for them. Cristela is on a Friday night, called the "death slot" for a reason.

Actually, I was. ManBearPig shout outs are always welcome.

I know, I liked the Captain and Tennille joke, it was a refreshing change of pace.
