I started to tear up during this sequence when I saw the movie in the theater, especially as the different race/religions made it up to space. But I just kept waiting for just once it to be a woman who stepped forward to give the handshake... and it never was. That made me feel like the movie hadn’t really thought…

The problem with that is that the extremist Christians have somehow convinced the media that they ARE the moderates.

A friend of mine was once cheating on her significant other. She took me to coffee because she wanted me to meet the guy she was cheating with. I smiled as best I could and offered him my hand. He took it, and said, “Can I hug you? I’m a hugger!” and pulled me in. I managed not to gag a the wave of revulsion swept…

The only thing I find odd is that Weiner seems so attached to this one particular and stupid form of exposure. I don’t get why he doesn’t just join Ashley Madison or some other erotic forum. What is it about Twitter for him? Especially since he gets caught all the time.

I work in accounting for high-net-worth individuals, and we once returned to work Monday morning to a voicemail from a client that said, plaintively, “I’m looking at my statement, and it looks like I bought a plane? Why would I buy a plane? I don’t think I bought a plane... Please call me back.”

(Spoiler: Said client…

I love, but am also baffled by, people who say horrible things and then dare you to record them. Like, they’re absolutely convinced that the public at large will listen to their unhinged rants and vindicate them. Possibly with a fist bump and a “F*** yeah!”
Although, it seems to work for Trump, so what do I know.

I definitely think it’s a combination of both. In the 90s I was definitely less informed on a lot of privilege and other issues, so I didn’t notice when he said stuff I would consider over the line now. But also I think he got really dependent on fame and started saying more provocative/less responsible things just…

I liked Dr. Drew so much in the 90s, based mostly on listening to Loveline late at night driving to and from college. I have been more and more appalled at him ever since. Beyond promoting conspiracy theories, he’s been peddling the worst kind of junk pop medicine for years. He’s dangerous in much the same way as Dr.…

I’ve heard this movie is good, and I actually know people who worked on it, but it just... makes me uncomfortable, somehow. I don’t know, it just feels like we should wait to make this kind of movie until after people are dead. I mean, this is basically a romantic dramedy about a sitting president. It just seems…

I know! My mom said this morning that “alt-right”as a name sounded terrifying to her, and all I could think was really? It sounds like an indie record label to me.

Ugh. As someone who watches Wrestlemania because my husband loves it, I would MUCH rather see The Rock vs Vin Diesel than anything involving Shaq ever. Plus a Big Show-Shaq match would just be so sloooow.

I... want to be mad? Stupid publicity stunts are stupid. But I find them both kind of adorable, so meh.

This was really useful. I just tried it and I do feel looser. However I was slightly distracted by the pictures, just because this is ostensibly a desk workout... who goes barefoot and apparently pantsless at work? :P

I think Dacey wasn’t in the show at all and Maege wasn’t shown as being present at the Red Wedding. Even if they’re both dead, though, there are still other Mormonts on Bear Island, just like there are still Umbers and Karstarks.

And the Mormonts! Jorah isn’t the only one left.

Yeah, I would have loved to spend $65K on a Harry Potter wedding... but this one looked just, okay. I was hoping for spectacular.

I felt like that too, until it got to the ceremony where she was actually inducted into the Chosen. At which point it became clear that having her there was kind of awkward for everyone. It seemed like the gauntlet ritual was open to everyone (okay, all boys) as a potential status-changer. Having someone who’s already…

That sort of happened on Buffy, once. Some guest vampire was going on about the Crucifixion and Spike totally shut him down by commenting that basically every vampire overlord he’s ever met claimed to be at the Crucifixtion and none of them were.

I think the play on words is that it’s a sale? As in “take 50% off everything for Black Friday”. So the double entendre would be that you’re supposed to ask about their sales. But obviously the inappropriate meaning is way more obvious in this case. Ugh.

I’m not a big fan of Thanksgiving, but I would immediately RSVP yes to any party that used this photo for its invitation.
