Samira’s dress is so structured and gorgeous. I want to borrow it and twirl around my living room.

I read that link, just for those who don’t click through, he signed his freaking PhD dissertation with the initials that indicate his allegiance to the group. Against all odds, this administration and their interest in hiring actual Nazis continues to surprise me.

+1 “fancy diarrhea clinics.” I shall call mine “The Runs Wellness Resort.”

Follow-up question: is Big Bird male or female? For whatever reason, my securities law textbook in school used Sesame Street muppets in its examples. Debating Big Bird’s gender tore our class apart.

Do you think Spicer feels remorse? I don’t think so. I think he lies without compunction and views it as part of serving the president, and by extension the country.

If there’s anything that Trump has shown the GOP, it’s that they can say anything vaguely conservative-sounding, regardless of its truth and their base will still vote for them. Inconsistent statements? Sure, words have no meaning anyway. Bald-faced lies? As long as the lie sounds good, totally fine.

10/10, wildly accurate.

WaPo had an update on it today too, linked below. I still would like more color here on what US Agency contacted him. Looks like Khan is not giving further comments, which is unfortunate -if it is retribution and/or persecution I’d like the details on that, if it was some sort of mix-up I would like to know that too,…

Absolutely agreed. And there have been other recent travel-related stories independent of the ban that are outrageous.

Health care in this country is crazy - just a side note to say I’m sorry you’ve had to go through all this and are still having a tough time, for what it’s worth, sending good thoughts your way.

Thanks - that’s interesting. The part that didn’t make sense to me was that Mr. Khan would have received a heads up that his “travel privileges were under review”, but based on the chaos of the first travel ban exec order’s enforcement, nothing would surprise me.

This is absolutely outrageous if true, but there seems to be some missing information in the Khan story at the moment. Every source I have seen just has the same quote from Khan and Ramsay Talks (the organization that was hosting him). It’s not clear what govermental agency/official contacted him. It looks like…

I have mixed feeling about more GG. The revival was fun, even if some characters were recast a bit as the most terrible versions of themselves (Rory, Christopher, Rory). But I like the open-ended nature of the revival, allowing fans to imagine what happened next.

+1000, exactly this. “I wasn’t there to witness any of these incidents, so I have no facts to provide for my argument that these allegations are spurious, just my outrage and indignation.”  

I am a big fan of spinning - I wear padded bike shorts as I also have bony buns. I don’t do SoulCycle, but I just Googled their bikes and they look like the average fixed gear spin bike - metal, and not bolted to the floor, so I still don’t understand what stabbed her.

Haha, her last name is Wood and the article uses the term “beam” so I managed to blend what was going on in my mind. I’ve heard of people unclipping without stopping pedals first and those suckers will come around and get you in the calf, but I’m still having trouble visualizing what part of the bike was dislodged and…

Also, does SoulCycle just have wooden stakes stationed around the room? I don’t understand how she impaled herself on a sharp piece of wood.

Like hell does USA Gymnastics believe one instance of abuse is too many. They believe one instance of abuse shouldn’t really be taken too seriously, best to hope the situation resolves itself. Oh, what’s that, ten more victims? Well, this coach really is otherwise an upstanding member of the gymnastics community, but…

Don’t know about that, just read an article on NPR about the ongoing issue generally.
