Upon closer examination, it’s very likely many of us have shared that experience at least briefly during some part of our lives...

It took me a long time to warm to Matt Smith. Mostly because Tennant’s last words were so sad. I shouted “NO! I DON’T WANT YOU TO GO EITHER!!!” at the TV when he made his last, and very poignant, statement. My kid and I thought Matt Smith’s Dr was an interloper for a few episodes as a result. But he grew on us. As…

Logic. Critical thinking. The idea that kids have agency. So simple. See a thing that is dangerous, morally wrong or illegal on a screen or on a page, discuss with kids. Talk about why. Kids are smart and usually have an understanding at an early age about separating fact from fantasy.

RIGHT? It’s the whole point of his character. Being inebriated and managing somehow to avoid complete disaster and death through pure chance, all while viewing the world through the bottom of a rum bottle.

CAN’T WAIT. I mean, I don’t want to, but I’d be willing to look at it if it meant he’d just step away and leave the adults to try to stop the US from circling the drain. And I hope all the GOP get the vapours and keel over from the sheer horror of it all and resign too. The US needs a serious reset.

I dig. This is brilliant. Please, pearl clutchers, don’t ruin this by saying she is promoting alcohol consumption. I’m still fuming over Netflix being criticized for their shows including people who are smoking. Stop Bowdlerizing shit. People smoked A LOT till very recently. Also, they still do.

I JUST posted this up list. I will cry if I even think about reading this essay. He is the antidote to toxic masculinity. THIS man should be the goal when it comes to the type of strength, empathy and resilience to foster in children. God. What an absolute treasure of a man.

This man and his approach to connection, empathy and understanding is the antithesis of today’s “toxic masculinity”. This beloved man right here. His deep respect for the emotions, opinions and autonomy of children and his desire to foster emotional safety wherever he could is incredibly powerful and touching. He…

Also, your name (LOVE!) likely refers to one of the most unsettling episodes of Dr Who in my opinion. Not even the stone angels compare.

I would bet it doesn’t even need to be frozen. That kind of cake has a fucking half life!

I dunno man. That chimp looks kool. And that goat totally knows what it’s doing. I’d watch this show for sure.

Ha! Funny enough, it’s my husband who’s the wine drinker and me the beer. Am partial to lambics or a nice crisp lager. Will bring both!

I know this may be a hideous suggestion, but boxed wine and tumblers may be in order. Cheap and cheerful is my aim. I’ll leave the refined and fancy for the celebration after he gets carted away.

My kid’s exact expression too! Though his brows would turn bright red if he was really pushing hard.

Me too! I LOVE the Popeye opening scene and want to live in a tiny village with wooden walkways everywhere. Also, the Popeye soundtrack was glorious.

Claire Balding is a treasure. I watched British coverage of the London Olympics in order to see her do her thing. She’s the absolute best there is. Doesn’t matter what she’s covering. She’s calm, relaxed, humorous when needed, warm, extremely knowledgeable and also excellent at dropping human interest anecdotes…

Yeah, but he’s not shrill. You know, like woman always are.

You forgot the popcorn and drinks. I’ll be by presently to drop some off.

Yep. Pence’s benign grandpa disguise has lulled people into a false sense of security. He’s just as bad as Trump, but marinaded in righteousness and sprinkled with Bible confetti.

I’m thinking Mueller is also not rotting from pure venality from the inside out like Trump is either.
