Except that it was a concept invented for and imposed upon TNG. Spock and McCoy were at each other’s throats constantly. Nor was Kirk always the epitome of patience and tolerance with either of them.

I’m so terribly sorry that this happened to you. It sounds like you’re taking smart steps towards caring for yourself, and that’s the most important thing.

Even within the kink community there’s a lot of resistance to and hesitation over breath play. Hand(s) very gently resting in the vicinity of the neck, cool. Anything else — anything else — is really, really, really f-ing dangerous unless everyone involved knows exactly what they’re doing, what spots to avoid, the…

A statue just stands there. Unless you want to put a historian in front of it 24/7 to lecture and explain it will have unperturbed hours of glorification. And, as others have pointed out, most of them are temporally ahistorical anyway.

Question: were any actual chefs asked how they feel about it? Because none of the women quoted or referenced in this article are professional chefs.

She had a sexual relationship with people who worked for her and who didn’t appear to have any compensatory power. I’m politically incorrect in that I’m more or less willing to shrug this off for regular citizens. But not for lawmakers, law enforcement officers, teachers, members of the military or the judiciary, and…

Theirs is one of the most fascinating relationships in porn. I wish Ferrara wasn’t so jealous because I think Kross had a lot more to give, but I think she’s a terrific director (so is he, albeit in a different vein). Still, they’re being open about a dynamic that’s absolutely not uncommon when one or both of the…

Tyra???

Here, it feels, someone from outside the adult industry dropped in to say: “Hey guys, get this, have you ever thought about not showing the action?”

There are no nuts in Hennessy (or any Cognac, or any brandy for that matter). Those allergic to nuts have to watch out for nut liqueurs, certain gins, and a few beers, but the list is pretty short.

Thai fried crickets/grasshoppers >> Mexican fried crickets/grasshoppers. More chiles and better salted.

Water bug curry is amazing. Beautifully floral. Whole water bugs...not so much, unless you want to be flossing for weeks to get those carapaces out of your teeth.

That was his boss. Corporate: always interfering.

Exactly. No more quips. It’s essential to truly feel what’s being lost.

Holzhauer vs. Jennings: The Finger Games.

Well, Behr could look up my real name on Usenet while the show was airing and see that I was a fan from the very beginning. As many were, though the divide he’s describing was absolutely real.

One of the great revelations within the MCU as it has developed over so many films is that the audience not only doesn’t require origin stories, it’s perfectly happy with stories that do away with origins altogether. The universe started with a pile of such stories, which got us to the first Avengers, but by the time…

It’s also that...yes, Captain Marvel is strong as hell, but Thor already “beat” him. Punching Thanos even harder is an extremely unsatisfying conclusion, though I’ve no doubt he will be repeatedly punched. The emotional impact of the solution, whatever that is, has to come from the established characters suffering,…

“Messages From Earth” / “Point of No Return” / “Severed Dreams” (Babylon 5). The tension — political, military, personal — just builds and builds until the glorious but oh-so-temporary catharsis of the latter.

Angel. Babylon 5. M.A.S.H.

Bets on at least one shot in the Tokyo sequence being a direct homage to Lost in Translation?
