Why does Bourdain need to fuck off? You realize he was actually praising Michelle Wolf, right?

There is, however, one high-profile Democrat who seems willing to have Pompeo serve as America’s top diplomat: Hillary Clinton, who has reportedlybeen consulting with Pompeo for his potential stint in the State Department. Cool!

There’s an elegant solution to the problem of Wanda being OP; Chthon and Chaos Magic.

There’s definitely some easy comparisons to make between the structures and attitudes of the NCAA and those of the Catholic Church.

Old nun has bad habits.

I can hazard some guesses, but I don’t know what to think in the case of Ariel. Mermaids understand something very different when they hear “Roe versus wade.”

Yep, that’s exactly right. You’ve got it. If you don’t tell me not to report, anything that’s happening here - or anywhere else I am - will make it into the press. Ages before I had a smart phone, I kept a film camera in my glove compartment so that if a major accident or rare weather event happened or I saw police…

That’s ridiculous. Journalism uses specific language. “Safe space”, isn’t a phrase that people even remotely define with any consistency. The words, “off the record” are the words that are employed when a conversation is meant to be off the record. There’s no ambiguity.

I’m about Robin Givhan’s age. I hear “safe space,” I don’t necessarily hear “this is locked down so no one else can listen.” I even did a website and marketing work for a women’s focused conference for a few years, and we used a variant of the phrase - something along the lines of “you can feel safe asking questions…

If they don’t say “this is off the record,” then it’s not off the record. “Off the record” is already a courtesy that journalists extend to people who request anonymity, if you’re not specifically requesting it, it cannot be implied.

That’s an icy hot take.

Well, maybe if you had put a little more effort into winning the Revolutionary War, this wouldn’t have happened, old chap.

When Marti Noxon came out in support of Kater Gordon’s allegations against Mad Men’s Matt Weiner late last year, claiming that he was one of a number of men she’d worked with in the biz with a tendency to abuse their power, a lot of people thought she was taking a veiled swipe at Joss as well—but she was quick to add…

Heh. Absolutely true story. It’s the late ‘80s (this is important), and I’m with my long-term GF (about my age, 22/23 or so), in her bedroom at her folks’ house. Sometime about midnight-ish, rowdiness starts to happen, and the GF is pining for some candle-play. So the tapers come out (we were duly diligent, so they…

It’s worth mentioning again that during the period where Feige was doing his “Gee, you’re right, a Black Widow movie would be a good idea but right now it’s just not coming together” act, he did in fact have to answer to someone at Marvel, Ike Perlmutter. Perlmutter is of course the man who nixed Gamora appearing in…

Any sort of emotional moment absolutely NEEDS to be undercut by a joke. It’s been deemed by the GODS.

I will man up and eat it for the sake of CONTENT
