You either die playing Batman or you live long enough to wind up playing Dick Cheney. 

This statement is so upsetting and alarming. It turns my stomach every time I see this quote.

It’s amazing how they keep saying the quiet parts loud.

Yeah, I’ve heard a lot of arguments that PTO should be segregated into vacation and sick days because otherwise it encourages people to come to work sick.

In my job, I get X number of paid days off per year. They can be used for vacation, or illness, or to get the car serviced. So, unless I’m on my deathbed, I’m coming into the office because I’ll be damned if I’m going to lose a precious day of vacation.

I gotta say, I spent three weeks in England on tour with a professional choir. Toward the end, the natives were asking me what part of England I was from. As a singer, I think there’s a natural tendency to adopt the cadence of the folks around you.

When I was growing up, I had a thick Wisconsin accent. Eventually moved away and lost it. But when I’m back there drinking with family (what else is there to do?), uff da does that shit come back.

I have to make a conscious effort to not emulate the accents and speaking patterns of the places I live because it reads pretentious, even when it’s not intended. 

Years ago, when I studied abroad, I was with a bunch of Australians and realized I’d changed my speaking patterns to mimic theirs, and apparently, that’s a thing. It wasn’t my intention. I didn’t even realize I was doing it until I’d been doing it for a few days.

Obviously, this is a weirdly intense faux accent. But isn’t this a real thing? I seem to pick up certain people’s inflections, especially if it’s unique, if I hang out with them for a long period of time. I imagine it’s kind of the same with accents?

This exactly! It’s crazy to see them through an adult lense now. 

I’m here for all these 90s crime stories. Being a kid back then I wasn’t looking at these events deeply or critically, and despite having smart, involved parents, I know I just accepted the media narratives: Hillary should let her husband be president, haha a pube on a Coke can!, she cut off his thing???, Nancy is a…

Hey, you left out the Menendez Bros. and the Andrew Cunanan murder spree (ending with Gianni Versace).

Pioneering families moved west and called for Army assistance with native tribes, sure!

I am a Black queer person so following this story closely. One thing missing from his apologies is a clear understanding of why the comments are so toxic. Don Lemon laid out the high rates of child abuse and homelessness Black LGBTQ youth face due to parents with this exact “my kid could never be gay” attitude. The…

This must be true, because even I, a plebe, know that a skinny belt should have been paired with that outfit.

Don Lemon called his ass out, he has not been all over the place apologizing, he apologized on Ellen for the first time. He’s not sorry and he’s not done being a homophobe, he just doesn’t want to jeopardize his career 

Kevin Hart’s ‘apology’ is the equivalent of “I’m sorry you feel that way.” It’s a non-apology and I completely agree that he continues his “Once again, I’m sorry” thing is because he got caught and it’s messing with his income.

that in no way furthers my objective of being a great real estate developer.

What's with the fugly belt?
