I cannot stop having a mirror reaction to that gif, all reluctant smile followed by laugh. One imagines mine looks slightly less gorgeous.

Her mother is Dutch and her father is Palestinian, so my guess would be the connotation of various names is sometimes different depending on your cultural background. They also have a son named Anwar, which I think is just lovely. And also Bella, who I prefer to call “Coattails.”

In Xenu-speak, SP means Suppressed Person

Hey, those ads are Dr. Zizmor’s bread and butter.

She’s Kris Jenner, not Kardashian. I know this because there was a whole episode when Kris considered switching back to Kardashian for her “brand.”

I should’ve added in other eccentric and Coke-related news that my dad also was apparently so traumatized by the introduction of New Coke that he still, to this day, orders a “Coca-Cola Classic.” I’m not sure if he thinks the waiter at Friendly’s—who wasn’t even a glint in his father’s eye during the terrible reign of…

You’ll probably go out and drink Coca-Cola and think, ‘Oh yeah, that’s no problem.’ Why? Because they pay lots of money for advertisements to think that you should drink Coca-Cola...

Oh Jesus Christ. It was a joke about bad decisions, not that he can’t vote because he’s a felon. God forbid women took a man to task for some bullshit he said without considering the ways he’s disenfranchised. Here’s what’s: you say some fucked up shit about a group of people based on their race, class, gender…

Chiwetel’s character specifically indicates that he is half-Indian or at least, that his mother was Hindu. And there is NO indication in the book that Mindy Park is Asian/Korean/Korean-American. If it had more Asian characters, it would be “Oh, more Asians stereotyped as STEM geniuses working at NASA!” or if Chiwetel…

Bow Wow also listed that he really hates when people mispronounce his name. His name is Shad Moss. I’ve been racking my brain for 24 hours now to come up with (a) how that could be mispronounced? and (b) what if the pronunciation that I see as undeniable—ʃæd mɒs—is wrong? What is right? Chad Mose? Shade Mawss? And…

Thanks very much.

I had a lot of people disappoint me when my son died, and I heard this explanation often. People just don’t know what to say or do. But the thing is, that burden is on them. The person suffering a horrific loss is already coping with more than their fair share. You can look online for “things to say when someone’s…

That Liza story made me think of the Michael Jackson/Liz Taylor/Marlon Brando 9/11 story. Celebs, they’re just like us. http://www.theguardian.com/film/2011/may/…

Yeah, it’s starting to feel a little...much. The thing about being an ally is that you should be talking with the people to whom you’re an ally. Not talking for them.

Same! And put it on a credit card, not debit card, so as not to tie up cash.

That “out and down” joke was everything. One fatty to another, I salute you. (PS I’ve been really happy with the Merona non-ribbed tanks at Target. I also bought a clubbin’ dress at Forever 21 that comes to exactly even with my ass cheeks. It was like $6. Also, since it’s a clubbin’ dress and thus, 96% spandex, it…

In fact, as a person who doesn’t eat pork, when I go to other countries whose language(s) I don’t speak, I look in a guidebook how to indicate “no pork.” IN OTHER LANGUAGES. When a person doesn’t eat pork, especially for religious reasons, they definitely know what pork is and from which animal it comes. And how to…

After adjusting the temperature of their water twice...

I regret that I have but one star to give to this.
